The paper presents a method for pre-processing data points for curve tting in reverse engineering. The proposed method has been developed to p

3、rocess the measured data points before tting into a B-spline form. The format of the new data points regenerated by the proposed method is suitable for the requirements for tting into a smooth B-spline curve with a good shape. The entire procedure of this method involves ltering, curvature analysis,

4、 segmentation, regressing, and regenerating steps. The method is implemented and used for a practical application in reverse engineering. The result of the reconstruction proves the viability of the proposed method for integration with current commercial CAD systems. 1. Introduction With the progres

The gap between design and manufactur-ing is now being gradually narrowed through the development of new CAD technology. I

To reali

However, there are some situations in product development in which a physical modelor sample is produced before cre

Where a clay model, for example, in designing automobile body panels, is made by the designer or artist based on conceptual sketches of what the panel should look like. 2） .

In all of these situations, the physical model or sample must be reverse engineered to create or rene the CAD model. In contrast to this conventional manufacturing sequence,everse engineering typically starts wit

The process of reverse engineering can usually be subdivided into three stages, i.e. data capture, data segmentation and CAD modeling and/or updating. A physical mock-up

Each region represents a single geometric feature that can be repre

13、ons where the geometric information of a physical prototype or sample cannot be measured completely and accurately to reconstruct a good CAD model. Some data points of the measured surface may be irregular, have measurement errors,or cannot be acquired. As shown in Fig. 1, the main surface of measur

Whatever technique is applied, there are many practical problems with acquiring data points, for examples, noise, and incomplete data. Without extensive p

In order to rebuild the CAD model correctly and satisfactorily, this paper presents a useful and effective method to pre-process the data points for curve tting. Using the propo

The Theory of B-spline Most

The most used is the B-spline form B-splines are the standard for representing freeform curves and surfaces in current commercial CAD systems. B-spline curve and Be zi

However, it is the local contro of curve shape which is possible with B-splines that gives the technique an advantage over the Be zier technique, as does the ability to add control points without increasing the degree othe curve. Considering the real-world applications requirement the B-spline technique is used to represent curves and surface in this research.   A B-spline curve is a set of basis functions which combines the effects of n + 1 control points. A parametric B-spline curve is given by
