Abstract: Surface topography prediction is of great significance to reduce the fluctuation of product quality and processing cost as well as the scrap rate of parts. Based on the high definition metrology (HDM) measured data, a spatio-temporal series prediction model called spatio-temporal fully convolutional recurrent neural network (STFCRNN) is proposed, which achieves the 3D surface topography prediction of machining surface. The time autocorrelation function and global Moran's I are calculated to analyze the spatiotemporal correlation of the surface data, which is used to conduct an accurate input of the model, thereby overcoming the shortcomings of traditional prediction methods that do not make full use of the global and local features of the data and the randomness of model input. Moreover, the result of case study shows that the proposed method has a better comprehensive prediction performance, and its prediction accuracy is 12%-18% better than that of traditional methods and the prediction time is 1/5 of traditional methods.
