The question of how methods from the field of artificial intelligence can help improve the
conventional frameworks for topology optimisation has received increasing attention over …

Building information models (BIMs) are maturing as a new paradigm for storing and
exchanging knowledge about a facility. BIMs constructed from a CAD model do not …

In this article, we provide a detailed survey of techniques for hexahedral mesh generation.
We cover the whole spectrum of alternative approaches to mesh generation, as well as post …

In many areas of industry, it is desirable to create geometric models of existing objects for
which no such model is available. This paper reviews the process of reverse engineering of …

Reconstruction of a continuous surface of two-dimensional manifold from its raw, discrete
point cloud observation is a long-standing problem in computer vision and graphics …

We propose a novel, end-to-end trainable, deep network called ParSeNet that decomposes
a 3D point cloud into parametric surface patches, including B-spline patches as well as …

Congratulations and thank you for reading this book! You hold in your hand perhaps the first
book solely written on mechanical reverse engineering from an industry perspective. The …

Three‐dimensional (3D) image acquisition systems are rapidly becoming more affordable,
especially systems based on commodity electronic cameras. At the same time, personal …

Recent progress in acquiring shape from range data permits the acquisition of seamless
million-polygon meshes from physical models. In this paper, we present an algorithm and …
