Automatic Recognition System for Symmetry and Regularity of Shapes
Exhaustive extraction of face-symmetric, axisymmetric, and regular arrangement patterns from 3D mesh models, measured point clouds, FEM meshes, etc.
This software extracts symmetrical subregions and regularly arranged grid or radial regions from 3D measurement data of lasers and X-ray CT scans fully automatically.
It is useful for reverse engineering and the generation of 3D-CAD data and FEM meshes.Research
This software can automatically and comprehensively extract the symmetry and regularity of shape patterns that appear on the surface of 3D mesh models measured by laser/X-ray CT scanning, 3D measurement point groups, FEM finite element meshes, etc. None of these functions are available with conventional commercial software. This software has a wide range of applications, including automatic reference surface generation and model shaping of 3D-CAD data for reverse engineering, generation of reduced element size models (1/4 models, etc.) and shaping of element boundaries in FEM preprocessors, as well as quantitative symmetry inspection of manufactured products. It is also possible to automatically extract various shapes of regular array (rectangular, radial, etc.) that correspond to pattern features in 3D-CAD data. It can also be applied to the generation of BIM (Building Information Model) from laser measurements.
