A Study of Reverse Engineering Based on 3DSS Data Acquisition

Abstract

This work introduces the workings of reverse engineering, its characteristics and application methods and proposes a data acquisition system applicable to industrial design, namely, three dimensional sensing system (3DSS). This work also gives a detailed account of 3DSS data acquisition methods and issues that deserve special attention in operation. A car model reconstruction case is provided as an example to study the performance of 3DSS in reverse engineering. Results have confirmed the significant role of this data acquisition method in reverse engineering.
