Digital Processing and Fusion of 3D Data from Emerging Non-Contact 3D Measurement Technologies

摘要

In recent years, globalization has begun to drive industries to operate in a highly competitive environment and to improve the time to market. In order to deal with this challenge, rapid production methods have been developed and incorporated into many phases of the product life cycle. Reverse Engineering (RE) technology enables fast design based on an existing physical object, and on-line 3D non-contact inspection significantly reduces manufacturing time. This paper provides an overview of the state-of-the art in 3D emerging measurement technologies. Moreover, it proposes new approaches and methods for data fusion and digital processing of sampled 3D data.
