Towards Reverse Design of Freeform Shapes
نویسندگان
چکیده
The need for more intuitive, faster and more effective tools for freeform product design is still an outstanding research issue in shape modeling. We propose a new methodology in which the designer can define optimal shape modification tools for the situation at hand. The key to this method is a dialogue between the designer and the computer, in which the details of the requested shape modifier are settled. The proposed tool, called user-defined modifier (UDM), is based on recent techniques from freeform shape recognition and parameterized, template-controlled shape modification. The dialogue between user and the system is described, and the basic techniques for the UDM tool are presented as well.

Computation with Curved Shapes: Towards Freeform Shape Generation in Design
Shape computations are a formal representation that specify particular aspects of the design process with reference to form. They are defined according to shape grammars, where manipulations of pictorial representations of designs are formalised by shapes and rules applied to those shapes. They have frequently been applied in architecture in order to formalise the stylistic properties of a give...

متن کاملThe Computation of 3d Pattern Matching as a Tool for Conceptual Freeform Shape Design
Freeform feature fitting is a technique underlying different applications, including reverse engineering, object recognition and conceptual shape design. The latter application poses specific requirements to the fitting technique with regard to speed, robustness and interactivity. On the other hand, the spatial accuracy and the density of the input data can be permitted to be relatively low. We...
متن کاملA User Interface for Freeform Modeling Based on Convolution Surfaces from Sketched Silhouette Curves
Traditional 3D modeling systems are commonly intended for designing complicated and exact objects, but they are not always suitable for quick design of freeform shapes. It is because these systems are highly complex and user has to follow a long and tedious learning process before being able to create meaningful models. For these reasons, in recent years there have been many efforts in developi...
متن کاملAutomatic Fitting and Control of Complex Freeform Shapes in 3-D
In many computer graphics and computer-aided design problems, it is very common to find a smooth and well structured surface to fit a set of unstructured 3-dimensional data. Although general approaches of fitting give satisfactory results, the computation time and the complexity often prevent their further developments in more complex cases especially in reusing an existing design. In this pape...
