Quadrangular Parameterization for Reverse Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of Reverse Engineering is to convert an unstructured representation of a geometric object, emerging e.g. from laser scanners, into a natural, structured representation in the spirit of CAD models, which is suitable for numerical computations. Therefore we present a user-controlled, as isometric as possible parameterization technique which is able to prescribe geometric features of the input and produces high-quality quadmeshes with low distortion. Starting with a coarse, user-prescribed layout this is achieved by using affine functions for the transition between non-orthogonal quadrangular charts of a global parameterization. The shape of each chart is optimized non-linearly for isometry of the underlying parameterization to produce meshes with low edge-length distortion. To provide full control over the meshing alignment the user can additionally tag an arbitrary subset of the layout edges which are guaranteed to be represented by enforcing them to lie on iso-lines of the parameterization but still allowing the global parameterization to relax in the direction of the iso-lines.

متن کاملAdaptive Reconstruction of Freeform Objects with 3D SOM Neural Network Grids
Reverse engineering is an important process in CAD systems today. Yet several open problems lead to a bottleneck in the reverse engineering process. First, because the topology of the object to be reconstructed is unknown, point connectivity relations are undefined. Second, the fitted surface must satisfy global and local shape preservation criteria that are undefined explicitly. In reverse eng...

Parameterizing meshes is a basic requirement for many applications, including, e.g., reverse engineering , texture mapping, and re-meshing. We present a new fast algorithm that uses the hierarchical representation of a polygonal mesh with arbitrary topology for generating a geometry-driven parameterization.

We present a piecewise bi-cubic parametric G1 spline surface interpolating the vertices of a quadrangular surface mesh of arbitrary topological type. While tensor product surfaces need a chess boarder parameterization they are not well suited to model surfaces of arbitrary topology without introducing singularities. Our spline surface consists of tensor product patches, but they can be assemble...
متن کاملParameterization for fitting triangular mesh
In recent years, with the development of 3D data acquisition equipments, the study on reverse engineering becomes more and more important. However, the existing methods for parameterization are hard to ensure that the parametric domain is rectangular, and the parametric curve grid is regular. In order to overcome the limitations, we present a novel method for parameterization of triangular mesh...
