Surface reconstruction by alpha geometric shape based on triangulation is a new idea and method in computer graphics and reverse engineering. In the process of Topology reconstruction, the points are reduced and projected to a middle slice plane. The adjacency among slices is established by section line subdivision, and triangle mesh is stored and called by the form of STL. The simplexes are classified and computed in order to obtain α interval by the external-ball radius and center of every simplex, and the data structure is designed to save them. Through the man-machine interactive selection modes, α-shape can be reconstructed by different α parameters. The surface reconstruction is completed.

Abstract In this article, solutions for redundant measured data elimination and surface reconstruction on reverse engineering are presented. In redundant data elimination, we propose a simple algorithm that can efficiently discard those redundant measured points according to the required degree of accuracy. While in the surface reconstruction, we try first convert all eliminated column or row data into spline (B-Spline, Beizer and Cubic-Spline) curves. Methods for two dimensional spline (u, v directions) curve construction are described. Non-meshed two dimensional spline curves are then blended to a surface model by formatting data points into a sparse matrix data structure. Experimental results show that the proposed characteristic points extraction method can remarkably reduce the reconstruction time only on the cost of a little extracting time and minor modeling errors. Comparisons among B-spline, Beizer and Cubic-spline on data structure, computing time, and accuracy demonstrate that the B-spline algorithm is superior to other algorithms in surface reconstruction.

This paper proposes a graph-based algorithm for constructing 3D Korean traditional houses automatically using a computer graphics technique. In particular, we target designing the most popular traditional house type, a giwa house, whose roof is covered with a set of Korean traditional roof tiles called giwa. In our approach, we divided the whole design processes into two different parts. At a high level, we propose a special data structure called ‘modeling graphs’. A modeling graph consists of a set of nodes and edges. A node represents a particular component of the house and an edge represents the connection between two components with all associated parameters, including an offset vector between components. Users can easily add/ delete nodes and make them connect by an edge through a few mouse clicks. Once a modeling graph is built, then it is interpreted and rendered on a component-by-component basis by traversing nodes in a procedural way. At a low level, we came up with all the required parameters for constructing the components. Among all the components, the most beautiful but complicated part is the gently curved roof structures. In order to represent the sophisticated roof style, we introduce a spline curve-based modeling technique that is able to create curvy silhouettes of three different roof styles. In this process, rather than just applying a simple texture image onto the roof, which is widely used in commercial software, we actually laid out 3D giwa tiles on the roof seamlessly, which generated more realistic looks. Through many experiments, we verified that the proposed algorithm can model and render the giwa house at a real time rate.

Globular indexing CAM mechanism is a good indexing mechanism. As the working curve of CAM contour surface is no extending curved surface, there is certain difficulty to design processing. It is new kinds of design method that reverse engineering apply in rapid modeling of curved CAM. In this way, designer can complete curve of CAM reverse modeling, and the rationality of the model is verified. At the same time, it also can reverse modeling and the subsequent development of other products to provide a reference.

Surface Reconstruction is the most potent aspect of 3D computer vision. It allows recapturing or imitating of the shape of real objects. It also provides sufficient knowledge regarding the mathematical foundation for rendering applications which are widely used for analyzing medical volume data, modeling, 3D interior designing, architectural designing. In our paper, we have mentioned various algorithms and approaches for surface reconstruction and their applications. Moreover, we have tried to emphasize the necessity of surface reconstruction for solving image analysis related problem.

In this paper, a systematic scheme is proposed and novel technologies are developed to automatically reconstruct a CAD model from a set of point clouds scanned from the boundary surface of an existing object. The proposed scheme is composed of three major steps. In the first step, multiple input point clouds are incrementally integrated into a watertight triangle mesh to recover the object shape. In the second step, mesh segmentation is applied to the triangle mesh to extract individual geometric feature surfaces. Finally, the manifold topology describing the connectivity information between different geometric surfaces is automatically extracted and the mathematical description of each geometric feature is computed. The computed topology and geometry information represented in ACIS modeling kernel form a CAD model that may be used for various downstream applications. Compared with prior work, the proposed approach has the unique advantage that the processes of recognizing geometric features and of reconstructing CAD models are fully automated. Integrated with state of the art scanning devices, the developed model reconstruction method can be used to support reverse engineering of high precision mechanical components. It has potential applications to many engineering problems with a major impact on rapid design and prototyping, shape analysis, and virtual reality.
