Photogrammetry techniques applied to reverse engineering

摘要

The process of capturing object form through surface data sampling and generating a CAD model of the part is termed reverse engineering because the process is the opposite of the normal design and manufacturing sequence. This paper presents a new development of the photogrammetry and its applications in reverse engineering systems. In the context of manufacturing, reverse engineering is an important process for instances where a product initially exists as a designer's model. In this case, a design system based in this technology will be set up and validated by means of two experimental works. We will try to consider how the industrial engineering can be influenced by this new technology.
