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 …

Humans perceive the three-dimensional structure of the world with apparent ease. However,
despite all of the recent advances in computer vision research, the dream of having a …

In this paper we present an automatic algorithm to detect basic shapes in unorganized point
clouds. The algorithm decomposes the point cloud into a concise, hybrid structure of …

This paper presents a new and efficient algorithm for the decomposition of 3D arbitrary
triangle meshes and particularly optimized triangulated CAD meshes. The algorithm is …

Planning realizable and stable grasps on 3D objects is crucial for many robotics
applications, but grasp planners often ignore the relative sizes of the robotic hand and the …

A procedure for reconstructing solid models of conventional engineering objects from a
multiple-view, 3D point cloud is described.(Conventional means bounded by simple …

Plane detection is a prerequisite to a wide variety of vision tasks. RANdomSAmple
Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is widely used for plane detectionin point cloud data …

Humans are good at recomposing novel objects, ie they can identify commonalities between
unknown objects from general structure to finer detail, an ability difficult to replicate by …

Laser range-scanners are used in fields as diverse as product design, reverse engineering,
and rapid prototyping to quickly acquire geometric surface data of parts and models. This …

Abstract 3D mesh segmentation is a fundamental process for Digital Shape Reconstruction
in a variety of applications including Reverse Engineering, Medical Imaging, etc. It is used to …
