Reverse engineering of geometric models—an introduction

T Varady, RR Martin, J Cox - Computer-aided design, 1997 - Elsevier
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 …

Interactive geometry remeshing

P Alliez, M Meyer, M Desbrun - ACM Transactions on Graphics (TOG), 2002 - dl.acm.org
We present a novel technique, both flexible and efficient, for interactive remeshing of
irregular geometry. First, the original (arbitrary genus) mesh is substituted by a series of 2D …

constitute a new methodological base for the architectural surveying and representation …

Direct integration of reverse engineering and rapid prototyping

KH Lee, H Woo - Computers & Industrial Engineering, 2000 - Elsevier
Reverse engineering (RE) technology enables us to create CAD models of new or existing
products by capturing surface data. Rapid prototyping (RP) is another emerging technology …

Surface simplification using a discrete curvature norm

SJ Kim, CH Kim, D Levin - Computers & Graphics, 2002 - Elsevier
This paper proposes a mesh simplification algorithm using a discrete curvature norm. Most
of the simplification algorithms are using a distance metric to date. The distance metric is …

Cutting and stitching: Converting sets of polygons to manifold surfaces

A Guéziec, G Taubin, F Lazarus… - IEEE Transactions on …, 2001 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Many real-world polygonal surfaces contain topological singularities that represent a
challenge for processes such as simplification, compression, and smoothing. We present an …
