WP 2 – FAST REVERSE ENGINEERING & INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGIES

Objectives

Introduction of Fast Reverse Engineering (FRE) techniques in a CAD environment enabling real-time acquisition and manipulation of 3D irregular curve networks based on subdivision surface through wireless and interactive input devices.

Tasks

WP2A: Fast Reverse Engineering by pen-like devices

  • Task 2.1 Technologies selection and state of the art survey
  • Task 2.2 Interactive hand sketch modelling methodology: design of general architecture
  • Task 2.3 Implementation of the pen-like wireless device, characterization and testing
  • Task 2.4 Design and development of a software library conceived to exploit the pen-like device for the interaction with subdivision surfaces and integration in a CAD system.

WP2B: Advanced Editing with innovative methodologies and technologies

  • Task 2.5 Global-local shape deformation algorithms using detail preserving methods.
  • Task 2.6 Acquisition and interaction with multi-modal feedback: design of general architecture, implementation of a prototype device
  • Task 2.7 Finger tracking and touchless displays.
  • Task 2.8 Gesture recognition embedded algorithms
