Subassembly Retrieval of 3D CAD Assembly Models with Different Layout of Components Based on Sinogram
Kaoru Katayama, Wataru SATO · IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems · 2019
We propose a method to find assembly models contained in another assembly model given as a query from a set of 3D CAD assembly models. A 3D CAD assembly model consists of multiple components and is constructed using a 3D CAD software. The proposed method distinguishes assembly models which consist of a subset of components constituting the query model and also whose components have the same layout as the subset of the components. We compute difference between the shapes and the layouts of the components from the sinograms which are constructed by the Radon transform of their projections from various angles. We evaluate the proposed method experimentally using the assembly models which we prepare as a benchmark. The proposed method can also be used to find the database models which contains a query model.
