Reseach On A Reverse Engineering Method For 3d Surface Using Single Image

In order to overcome the limitation of object based reverse engineering, a reverse engineering method for 3D surface using single image is proposed. Unlike the typical reverse engineering, the input information of the new method is a single image instead of an object. It is an integration technology of computer vision, image processing and numerical control processing. In this paper, the principles and key technologies of this new reverse engineering method, such as image processing, Shape from Shading, model reconstructing and Adaptive Including Box method, are studied and analyzed. The application example included in this paper shows that the reverse engineering method for 3D surface using single image is robust, and it will be helpful for the further research on image based design and manufacture.
