A Study on the Construction of a 3D Object from Orthographic Views

2차원 평행 투영도로부터 3차원 물체의 구성에 관한 연구

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm that constructs 3 dimensional solid object from orthographic views. The 3D object construction algorithm inputs vertices and edges information of 3 orthogonal views, generates 2 dimensional surfaces of input views, 3 dimensional possible vertices, possible edges and possible surfaces, compares 2 dimensional projections of 3 dimensional possible surface with two dimensional surfaces from orthogonal views and then determines the solution. This algorithm has been proved to be efficient in reducing the time taken and is useful for CAD system, 3 dimensional scene analysis system and object modellings for 3D graphics. The algorithm has been implemented in C language on the IBM PC/AT.
