Human Errors and their Effects on Outputs of Reverse Engineering

The science of measurements and metrology indeed calls for a premise wherein accuracy of measurement is a must, but in the process of practical measurements, it is natural that errors may creep in due to various factors attributed to either human intervention or machine constraints. This paper shall try to focus on the errors that can creep in due to human intervention in the process of Reverse Engineering, which is highly dependent on the accuracy of the measurements, which become a key factor for the success of the entire process. The general procedure of Reverse Engineering shall be first described along with the basic concepts of accuracy, precision, resolution and errors, which are like the four pillars of the process. The concept of error magnification shall then be briefly explained. The paper shall then elaborate on the concepts of measurements due to human errors and further explain the same in detail with respect to employment of analog, digital and computer integrated measuring instruments. The desired outputs of Reverse Engineering and the effect of human errors on the same shall then be elaborated and the paper shall conclude with the findings of the study.
