No.	Evaluation indicator	Evaluation object	Evaluation method
1	Plane fittingaccuracy	Lightplane	Average or maximum of the distance fromcontrol points to fitting plane is computed asthe accuracy results^[40].
2	Repeatability	Single lineardimension	A fixed dimension would be measured formany times, and the maximum, minimum and variancewill be used as the accuracy indicator for repeatability ^[41].
3	Light-planecompositeaccuracy	Dimensions fromany directionin light plane	Based on cross ratio, distance between two control pointsin local world frame would be obtained as the true value,then the corresponding control points would be measuredin 3D coordinate. Finally, the RMS will be computedas the evaluation results^[30].
4	Light-planeseparatingaccuracy	Dimensions alongwith coordinate axesin light plane	The measurement results with gauge block would betaken as the accuracy in vertical direction, and themeasurement results with linear scale could be treatedas the accuracy in horizontal direction^[35].
5	Surfacereconstructionaccuracy	Point cloudafter curveaccumulation	The reconstructed curves would be accumulated alongthe motion direction, and the comparison ofpoint cloud and CAD model will be taken as thesurface reconstruction accuracy^[42].
