Abstract

Optical 3D sensors are used as tools for reverse engineering: First the shape of an object is digitized by acquisition of multiple range images from different view points. Then the range images are registered and the data is turned into a CAD description, e.g. tensor product surfaces, by surface modeling software. For many applications however it is sufficient to generate a polyhedral surface. We present a nearly automatic procedure covering the complete task of data acquisition, calibration, surface registration and surface reconstruction using a mesh of triangles. A couple of measurements, such as teeth, works of art and cutting tools are shown.
