Abstract

Reverse engineering is a design process going from a physical or clay model to a digital model. The first step in reverse engineering is part digitization, and its precision and efficiency all will influence the reconstructed surface qualify. In this paper a date fusion method for free-form surfaces using digitized points measured by multiple-sensor integrated measuring system with a touch probe and an optical scanning probe is presented. The optical scanning data will be wrapped in the form of triangulated mesh. Then the special mesh region that needs to be updated is recognized through the detection of the overlapping area between the mesh and the boundary of the newly added data points with high precision captured by a touch probe. After that, the initial triangular mesh is eventually updated to the final output by replacing the recognized region with the newly added data points. The merging data is unified into a precise 3D model in CAD software environment based on the strategy for optimization reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method, which enhances the flexibility of digitizing while maintaining the accuracy of feature surfaces.
