Abstract
This paper proposes a feature recognition approach from a boundary representation solid model with Fuzzy ART neural network. To recognize the feature efficiently, some key technologies in Fuzzy ART neural network are used. The influence of the vigilance parameter on feature recognition is studied, and two learning modes, fast learning and slow learning are adopted and compared in feature recognition. Finally, a case study is given to verify the proposed approach.
