A Thin-plate CAD Mesh Model Splitting Approach Based on Fitting Primitives
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracting structural information from mesh models is crucial for Simulation Driven Design (SDD) in industrial applications. Focusing on thin-plate CAD mesh models (the most commonly used parts in electronic products such as PCs, mobile phones and so on), we present an algorithm based on primitive fitting for segmenting thin-plate CAD mesh models into parts of three different types, two of which are extruding surfaces and the other is a lateral surface. This method can be used for solid model reconstruction in the SDD process. Our approach involves two steps. First, a completely automatic method for accurate primitive fitting on CAD meshes is proposed based on the hierarchical primitive fitting framework. In the second step, a novel procedure is proposed for splitting thin-plate CAD mesh models by detecting parallel extruding surfaces and lateral surfaces. The method presented here has been proved to work smoothly in applications of real product design.

A Comparison of Thin Plate and Spherical Splines with Multiple Regression
Thin plate and spherical splines are nonparametric methods suitable for spatial data analysis. Thin plate splines acquire efficient practical and high precision solutions in spatial interpolations. Two components in the model fitting is considered: spatial deviations of data and the model roughness. On the other hand, in parametric regression, the relationship between explanatory and response v...

A seamless analysis of IT-related products, such as cellular phone, LCD monitor and note PC etc., which are thin and complex geometry is one of great concerns in product design. However, there is a considerable amount of gap between the industrial application and fundamental academic studies due to a time consuming detailed mesh generation. In order to settle the bottleneck, an auto mesh genera...
متن کاملHow can we exploit typical architectural structures to improve model recovery?
In this work we address the question of how to exploit typical architectural structures to improve accuracy for CAD modeling of built environments from 3D data. In doing so we have examined the applicability of the GENOCOP III algorithm to the model fitting. The algorithm uses explicit domain knowledge, specifically geometric constraints in the form of parameterized surface models and an Euclid...
متن کاملAlgorithms For Automatic And Robust Registration Of 3D Head Scans
Two methods for registering laser-scans of human heads and transforming them to a new semantically consistent topology defined by a user-provided template mesh are described. Both algorithms are stated within the Iterative Closest Point framework. The first method is based on finding landmark correspondences by iteratively registering the vicinity of a landmark with a re-weighted error function...
متن کامل3D tooth shape from radiographs using thin-plate splines.
Current methods to produce 3-dimensional tooth root models involve conversion from radiographic means (computed tomography) or creation using computer-assisted design (CAD) software. The former lacks detail while the second is manually fabricated and can bear little resemblance to the original. Thin-plate splines have been used in morphometrics to define changes of shape between subjects of the...
