Extracting CAD features from point cloud cross-sections

چکیده
We present a new method for extracting features of a 3D object targeted to CAD modeling directly from the point cloud of its surface scan. The objective is to obtain an editable CAD model that is manufacturable and describes accurately the structure and topology of the point cloud. The entire process is carried out with the least human intervention possible. First, the point cloud is sliced interactively in cross sections. Each cross section consists of a 2D point cloud. Then, a collection of segments represented by a set of feature points is derived for each slice, describing the cross section accurately, and providing the basis for an editable feature-based CAD model. For the extraction of the feature points, we exploit properties of the convex hull and the Voronoi diagram of the point cloud.

متن کاملDetecting features from sliced point clouds
We present a new method for extracting the feature primitives of a 3D object directly from the point cloud of its surface scan. The objective is to identify a subset of points that provides the same information about the structure and the topology of the object geometry as the point cloud itself. The entire process is carried out with the least human intervention possible. The only information ...
متن کاملExtracting lines of curvature from noisy point clouds
We present a robust framework for extracting lines of curvature from point clouds. First, we show a novel approach to denoising the input point cloud using robust statistical estimates of surface normal and curvature which automatically rejects outliers and corrects points by energy minimization. Then the lines of curvature are constructed on the point cloud with controllable density. Our appro...
