Reconstraction of 3D object models from vectorised engineering drawings

Abstract

In this paper, the problem of 3D-object model reconstruction from engineering drawing projections is analysed, and its main stages are shown. Image vectorisation and entity recognition is mentioned briefly, the main focus being editing or the parameterisation of vectorised drawings and 3D object model reconstruction from vectorised ED projections. Vectorised drawing, as a rule, do not exactly correspond to sizes and other features (touching, parallelity, perpendicularly, symmetry, collinearity, etc.) being available on the initial drawing, and this ED vector model is not suitable for direct use in CAD systems. That is why the parameterisation stage is introduced and considered in detail. An algorithm for 3D-object reconstruction from the vectorised and parameterised drawing is proposed. The algorithm is based on the detection of volumetric solid-state object components (primitives), and performing theoretic-set operations with the components. Practical experience in realising these stages is shown
