This paper proposes an ATR (Automatic Target Recognition) algorithm for identifying non-occluded and occluded military vehicles in natural FLIR (Forward Looking InfraRed) images. After segmenting a target, a radial function is defined from the target boundary to extract global shape features. Also, to extract local shape features of upper region of a target, a distance function is defined from boundary points and a line between two extreme points. From two functions and target contour, four global and four local shape features are proposed. They are much more invariant to translation, rotation and scale transform than traditional feature sets. In the experiments, we show that the proposed feature set is superior to the traditional feature sets with respect to the similarity-transform invariance and recognition performance.

As 3D solid modeling prevails, a range of applications have become possible and intensive research on the integration of CAD/CAM has been conducted. As a consequence, methods to recognize the machining features from CAD models have been developed. On the other hand, generating a machining sequence using the machining features is still a problem due to a combinatorial problem with a large number of machining features. This paper proposes a new method that utilizes the precedence constraints through which the number of the combinations is reduced drastically. This method can automatically generate machining sequences requiring the lowest amount of machining time. An airplane part was used to test the usefulness of the proposed method.

절삭 작업과정에서 발생하는 버는 공구와 피삭재가 만나는 상태에 따라 그 형상이 결정되어진다. 공구와 피삭재 사이의 각, 공구의 회전속도, 이송속도, 피삭재의 종류등은 이러한 버의 형상을 결정하는데 결정적인 역할을 하므로, 실험에 의해서 생성된 단계별 자료를 CAD 및 CAM 데이터와 연관시켜 효율적인 알고리즘을 만들고자 한다. 특별히 공장자동화에 따른 작업의 자동화뿐 아니라 관리 체계의 정립을 위하여 전문가 시스템의 도입 역시 시급히 요구되고 있는 실정이다. 여기서 CAD 데이터는 피삭재에 대한 특징 형상의 정보를 포함하고 있기 때문에 피삭재의 형상에 대한 정보를 얻을 수 있다. 인식된 형상에 대하여 Exit 버 형성시 접점과 Exit Angle을 계산하기 위해 도형의 방향인식이 필요하며, 이를 통해 공구와 피삭재와의 관계를 산출하여 Exit 버의 판별을 수행할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 과정을 수행하는 프로그램을 개발한다.

최근 들어 인간의 의지를 컴퓨터에 전달하기 위한 수단으로 컴퓨터 시각기반 방식으로 제스처를 인식하고자 하는 연구가 널리 진행되고 있다. 제스처 인식에서 가장 중요한 문제는 실시간 처리로 알고리즘의 단순화와 처리시간의 감소이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 기하학적 집합론에 근거하고 있는 수학적 형태론을 적용하였다. 형태론적 형상분해를 적용하여 얻은 손짓 형상의 원시형상 요소들의 방향성은 손짓에 관한 중요한 정보를 내포하고 있으며 이러한 특징에 근거하여 본 연구에서는 주 원시형상 요소와 부 원시형상원소의 중심점을 연결하는 직선으로부터 특징벡터를 이용한 형태론적 제스처 인식 알고리즘을 제안하고 실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 증명한다.

Process planning can be defined as determining detailed methods by which parts can be manufactured from the initial to the finished stage. Process planning starts with determining the manufacturing process based on the geometric shape of the part and the machines and tools required for performing this process. Distributed process planning enables production planning to be performed easily by combining the extracted process and various manufacturing resources such as operations and tools. This study proposes an algorithm to determine the process for a feature-based model and to combine manufacturing resources for the process and implements a distributed process planning system.

A part definition must not only provide shape information of a nominal part but also contain non-shape information such as tolerances, surface roughness and material attributes. Although machining features are useful for suitable shape information for process reasoning in the CAPP, they need to be integrated with tolerance information for effective process planning. We develop the tolerance modeler that efficiently integrates machining features with tolerance information for feature-based CAPP It is based on the association of machining features, tolerance features. and tolerances Tolerance features, where tolerances are assigned, are classified into two types; one is the face that is a topological entity on a solid model and the other is the functional geometry that is not referenced to topological entities. The functional geometry is represented by using machining features All the data for representing tolerance information with machining features are stored completely and unambiguously in the independent tolerance structure. The developed tolerance modeler is implemented as a module of a comprehensive feature-based CAPP system.

This paper describes the development of new feature positioning method which embedded into the top-down assembly modeling system supporting conceptual design. In this work, the user provides the geometric constraints representing the position and size of features, then the system calculates their proper solution. The use of geometric constraints which are easy to understand intuitively enables the user to represent his design intents about geometric shapes, and enables the system to propagate the changes automatically when some editing occurs. To find the proper solution of given constraints, the Selective Solving Method in which the redundant or conflict equations are detected and discarded is devised. The validity of feature shapes satisfying the constraints can be maintained by this technique, and under or over constrained user-defined constraints can also be estimated. The problems such as getting the initial guess, controlling the multiple solutions, and dealing with objects of rotational symmetry are also resolved. Through this work, the feature based modeling system can support more general and convenient modeling method, and keeps the model being valid during modifying models.

Feature restoration is that restore feature to 3D solid model using the feature information in STEP AP224. Feature is very important in CAPP, but feature information is defined very complicated in STEP AP224. This paper recommends the algorithm of extraction the feature information in physical STEP AP224file. This program import STEP AP224 file, parse the geometric and topological information, the tolerance data, and feature information line-by-line. After importation and parsing, store data into database. Feature restoration module analyze database including feature information, extract feature information, e.g. feature type, feature's parameter, etc., analyze the relationship and then restore feature to 3D solid model.

This paper presents spatial relationshaps and engineering features for the feature based modeling of Sheet Metal Weld Assemblies (SMWA) that are made of sheet metal components through are welding processes. Spatial relationships in ProMod-S, a sheet metal product modeler,are further extended for the SMWA modeling. Some spatial relationships for special weld joint types are newly introduced. The geometrical and topological relations between spatial reationship, mating features, and assembly features are defined. Finally, assembly data stucturess for the product modeling of SMWA are proposed. They are an engineering relation to represent the constraints between component features, and a mating bond to integrate component design information.
