β¦ Synopsis
In reverse engineering, vast amounts of point data captured by certain types of scanners significantly increase the complexity and reduce the efficiency in downstream activities, such as surface modelling and manufacturing. Data reduction has therefore become an important issue. A new data reduction algorithm for surface points is developed to preserve the original shape using an error metric based on a Hausdorff distance of principal curvature vectors. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated by its application to a test surface and an industrial surface.

Current optic techniques make it possible to digitise objects or scenes in clouds of thousands of points. A large number of papers have been proposed to generate a polygonal representation associated to this digitised representation. For a better use in geometric and dimensional control or in revers
A novel method that allows the development of surface point-based three-dimensional statistical shape models is presented. Given a set of medical objects, a statistical shape model can be obtained by principal component analysis. This technique requires that a set of complex shaped objects is repres
