Abstract
A new concept for roughness measurement is presented in this paper. The new concept is the mean surface that describes the summation of the shape, error and waviness of a profile surface measured by the interferometric microscope. The mean surface is fitted by the Zernike polynomials in a least squares sense. When the mean surface is subtracted from the profile data, the roughness can be calculated. The numerical simulations show that the accuracy is enough high.
