X Abstract

The skinning of point cloud models has become one of the most popular reverse-engineering exercises for rapid product development in most manufacturing sectors. Common methods such as polygon generation and segmentation and direct surface fitting on segmented data exhibit shape loss, distortion, continuity problems and a large number of orphan surface patches. The current work discusses data processing through data rarefaction to optimize a data set for true object shape and NURBS-based surface interpolation on rarefied data for a reconstruction with good accuracy. For originally rarefied data, on the other hand, conventional subdivision techniques are applied to construct logical points before surface fitting. NURBS interpolation technology ensures accurate surfaces within a limited computation of knot vectors, weight vectors, bi-directional control net and IGES interface file writing. A few reconstruction examples with their results are shown with computation issues and analysis.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
