| Research Abstract |
The objective of this research project is to develop a simple and efficient 3D data input method that is widely used for 3D object design and manufacturing. Two stages of research has been established for this purpose : (a) Processing the given 3D data and then convert the data for 3D rendering of CG (Computer Graphics) presentation (the actual data is the position data and the derivative data that are required for triangular or square patch definition). (b) The obtained curved surface data is merged to the traditional data given by three view plane method and/or sweep method. To accomplish (a) we use the public 3D database provided by NRCC (National Research Council Canada), and have obtained the following theoretical results :
(1) The 3D data given by 3D data scanner can be treated as the set of 2D data. The minimax data reduction method for 2D data is useful for this type of 3D data.
(2) For the application of large amount of data, the cone intersection method (one of the local methods) is also applied for the same reduction problem and proposed the case dependent application of the global methods and local methods.
(3) Framework of applying the cone intersection method is proposed to introduce the concept of minimum convex hull of the local data.
(4) The value of curvature is introduced to reduce the number of data. This method offers a theoretical background for automatic detecting the useful data contained in the given 3D data acquired by 3D data scanner.
(5) The concept of efficient data retrieval yields the clothoid curve -- one of nonlinear spline curves -- that introduces the directional processing for 2D data.
