This paper introduces a new digitization method with sensor fusion for shape measurement in reverse engineering. Digitization can be classified into contact and non-contact type according to the measurement devices. Important thing in digitization is speed and accuracy. The former is excellent in speed and the latter is good for accuracy. Sensor fusion in digitization intends to incorporate the merits of both types so that the system can be automatized. Firstly, non-contact sensor with vision system acquires coarse 3D point data rapidly. This process is needed to identify and loco]ice the object located at unknown position on the table. Secondly, accurate 3D point data can be automatically obtained using scanning probe based on the previously measured coarse 3D point data. In the research, a great number of measuring points of equi-distance were instructed along the line acquired by the vision system. Finally, the digitized 3D point data are approximated to the rational B-spline surface equation, and the free-formed surface information can be transferred to a commercial CAD/CAM system via IGES translation in order to machine the modeled geometric shape.

With the development of a laser scanner of high precision and increased speed, reverse engineering becomes a key approach to reduce the time for the development of new products. But the modeling process is not so automated enough until now. Modeling in real workshops is usually performed by the experienced operators and it requires a skillful technique to get the resultant surface of high quality and precision. In this paper, a systematic solution is proposed to automate the free-form surface generation from the measured point data. Compatibility is imposed to the measured point data during input curve generation. And the compatibility of cross-sectional curve is also considered for the loft surface generation. The data in each step is produced in IGES file format to make an easy interface to other CAD/CAM software without any further data manipulation.

T-splines are recently proposed geometric modeling tools. A T-spline surface is a NURBS surface with T-junctions and is defined by a control grid called T-mesh. Local refinement can be performed very easily for T-splines while it is limited for B-splines or NURBS. Using T-splines, patches with unmatched boundaries can be combined easily without special technique. In this study, the analysis methodology using T-splines is proposed. In this methodology, T-splines are used both for description of geometries and for approximation of solution spaces. Two-dimensional linear elastic and dynamic problems will be solved by employing the proposed T-spline finite element method, and the effectiveness of the current analysis methodology will be verified.

The improved Green integral equation using the Kelvin-type Green function in known free of irregular frequencies where the integral over the inner free surface integral is removed from the integral equation, resulting in an overdetermined integral equation. The solution of the overdetermined Green integral equation is shown identical with the solution of the improved Green integral equation Using the B-spline higher order panel method, the overdetermined equation is discretized in two different ways; one of the resulting linear system is square and the other is redundant. Numerical experiments show that the solutions of both are identical. Using the present methods, the exact values and higher derivatives of the potential at any place over the wetted surface of the body can be found with much fewer panels than low order panel method.

This paper presents the development of CAD system for the design of lens of the Turn Signal Lamp that can model and simulate its optical performance. The system consists of three main modules: skin surface modeling module, inner lens modeling module and optical performance simulation module. Skin surface geometry can be modeled by the input of data file and inner lens can be modeled by the input of only four parameter using its geometric characteristics. Also light distribution pattern, the barometer of optical performance is generated by means of finite ray tracing method. The system display modeled geometry, ray tracing and generated light distribution pattern.

This paper proposes an efficient reverse engineering technique for compound surfaces using a boundary detection method. This approach consists in extracting geometric edge information using a vision system, which can be used in order to drastically reduce geometric errors in the vicinity of compound surface boundaries. Through the image-processing technique and the interpolation process, boundaries are reconstructed by either analytic curves (e. g. circle, ellipse, line) or parametric curves (B-spline curve). In other regions, except boundaries, geometric data are acquired on CMM as points inspected using a touch type probe, and then they are interpolated on several surfaces using a B-spline skinning method. Finally, the boundary edge and the skinned surfaces are combined to reconstruct the final compound surface. Through simulations and experimental works, the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed.

이 논문에서는 화가의(Painter's) 알고리듬을 사용하여 3차원 자유형상곡면(Three dimensional free form surface)을 가시화하는 방법을 개발하였고, 특히 선체형상은 Open 균일 B-Spline 곡면으로 정의하였다. 컴퓨터그래픽스를 응용하여 와이어프레임, 숨은면제거, 묘영등의 가시화를 위한 프로그램을 완성하였다. 또한 선체곡면의 순정을 검토하기 위해 Gaussian 곡률값을 15등급으로 구분하여 등급별 색(color)처리 하였다.

3차원 자유형상 물체인 선형의 정의에는 여러 방법이 있으나 선형의 기하학적 특징을 나타내는 형상계수들의 조합으로 선형을 표현하는 형상계수방법이 전산기의 이용과 함께 주목받고 있다. 그러나 종래의 형상계수방법은 실제 선형 설계시 여러가지 문제점을 노정시킴으로 본 논문에서는 자유형상 물체의 수학적 표현에 매우 적합한 B-spline곡선과 형상계수 방법을 접목시켜 선형생성을 시도했다. 응용예로서 Bulk carrier선형을 표현한 결과를 보였으며, 기존선형과 도출선형을 비교하여 본 연구의 실용 가능성을 검토했다.
