A New Method to Merge Point Cloud in Reverse Engineering System
Xing Yua · Die and Mould Technology · 2004
According to the characteristics of reverse engineering, a new method to merge data point cloud of the object surface obtained from different angles. This method firstly sticks some special reference points on the object surface, then recognizes and compares these reference points in images obtained from dirrerent angles to find out those points, which have the same topology characteristic. Finally it uses these common points to match and splice data point cloud. Experiments proved that this method is convenient and can get pretty high accuracy, therefore it is a very advance technique.
