The Structured Light Vision System and Application in Reverse Engineering and Rapid Prototyping

Bingwei He and Shengyong Chen

Abstract

In recent years, computer vision systems develop computer models of the real world through processing of image data from sensors such as cameras or range scanners. Reverse engineering (RE) techniques from original acquiring three dimension surface data of the object have been developed to could convert point cloud data into CAD models by NURBS or STL (triangular mesh) format. The above CAD models can be reconstructed by using material incremental method (as rapid prototyping, RP).
