Abstract: | The neural network method, a relatively new method in reverse engineering (RE), has the potential to reconstruct 3D models
accurately and fast. A neural network (NN) is a set of interconnected neurons, in which each neuron is capable of making autonomous
arithmetic and geometric calculations. Moreover, each neuron is affected by its surrounding neurons through the structure
of the network.
This work proposes a new approach that utilizes growing neural gas neural network (GNG NN) techniques to reconstruct a triangular
manifold mesh. This method has the advantage of reconstructing the surface of an n-genus freeform object without a priori
knowledge regarding the original object, its topology or its shape. The resulting mesh can be improved by extending the MGNG
into an adaptive algorithm. The proposed method was also extended for micro-structure modeling. The feasibility of the proposed
method is demonstrated on several examples of freeform objects with complex topologies. |
