✦ Synopsis

Reverse engineering is accomplished in three steps, part digitizing, features extraction, and CAD modeling. Part digitization is accomplished by variety of contact and non-contact digitizers. Feature extraction is normally achieved by segmenting the digitized data and capturing surface features such as edges. Part modeling is accomplished by fitting variety of surfaces to the segmented data points. This paper reviews various techniques for part digitization, segmentation and surface modeling.
