Supporting designers' hierarchies through parametric shape recognition

چکیده
The need to implement shape grammars efficiently, rather than hardcode them, in a way that supports creativity through shape emergence is an ongoing research challenge. This paper introduces a shape grammar interpreter that supports parametric subshape recognition, and thereby shape emergence. The approach divides shapes into hierarchies of subshapes based on specified geometric relationships within the shape. A default hierarchy based on geometric relations often found in engineering and architectural designs is presented as an efficient example of one appropriate hierarchy. The interpreter's shape recognition and generation abilities are demonstrated with two examples: a new engineering shape grammar for the design of vehicle inner panels and a modified version of the classical ice-ray shape grammar.

متن کاملShape specification in design using fuzzy logic
A shape specification system based on fuzzy logic is proposed, which aims to facilitate designers in conceptual design stage by allowing them to specify and work with rough models in a more intuitive fashion. The system uses a 3D object representation called 'parametric geons' which provide both qualitative and quantitative descriptions, in addition to global shape constraints, via eight shape ...
متن کاملParametric geons: a discrete set of shapes with parameterized attributes
We propose parametric geons as a volumetric description of object components for qualitative object recognition. Parametric geons are seven qualitative shape types deened by parameterized equations which control the size and degree of tapering and bending. The models provide global shape constraints which make model recovery procedures robust against noise and minor variations in object shape. ...
متن کاملInteractive Shape Modeling and Dynamic Deformation Based on Spline Sculpting
Conventional geometric surface modeling software offers the designer shape interaction and manipulation through editing the associated control points, orders, knot vector and point clouds. Such modeling by indirect manipulation of algebraic and geometric parameters proves to be difficult and tedious, especially for novice designers. Researchers have instead explored direct ways through adding p...
متن کاملFree-Form Geometric Modeling by Integrating Parametric and Implicit PDEs
Parametric PDE techniques, which use partial differential equations (PDEs) defined over a 2D or 3D parametric domain to model graphical objects and processes, can unify geometric attributes and functional constraints of the models. PDEs can also model implicit shapes defined by level sets of scalar intensity fields. In this paper, we present an approach that integrates parametric and implicit t...
