Summary on Grant Application Form |

Shape analysis of objects from range data (captured three dimensional co-ordinates of surface points) is a key problem in computer vision with important applications in manufacturing, such as assembly, quality control and reverse engineering. Analysing a machined part to generate its CAD model requires range data to be collected and registered from many views and then segmented into surface primitives. Traditionally this has required many different algorithms and the greatest challenges in this field come from the complex optimisations that are required.Results are decent but not yet sufficient for engineering needs.This project is motivated by the question of whether the whole reverse engineering problem can be improved using a single multi-objective algorithm. This algorithm would be able to simultaneously register, segment and correctly parameterize multiple range images and then produce accurate CAD models.
