A novel CSG approach for 3D reconstruction of helix using spiral sweeps
Muhammad Abuzar Fahiem, Nadia Kanwal · 2007
Reconstruction of 3D solid models from 2D images has a wide range of important applications like Engineering production and design, character animation and multimedia, and bio medical imaging. Boundary representation (B-Rep) and constructive solid geometry (CSG) are two most widely accepted techniques for 3D modeling. In this paper we have proposed a novel CSG technique by introducing a new type of sweep, Spiral Sweep. Our technique requires only single view and embeds topological information in basic CSG primitives to reconstruct 3D model of a helix. We have reviewed some very significant approaches emerged typically for engineering industry and compared these approaches with our approach. Our approach addresses the 3D reconstruction of helix in engineering drawings from single view which is not catered yet.
