The most critical part in reverse engineering is the segmentation of
digital point clouds, where data points are grouped into sets to which
an appropriate single surface can be fitted. For the modeling of
freeform geometry, four-sided surface patches with NURBS representation
are commonly used. In order to get a compound of smooth surface
patches, the patch boundaries must be located along edges of the
measured part.
The software module Feature Lines
offers the possibility to extract feature lines from point clouds,
essential for the creation of a network of boundary curves.
