摘要
NC code or STL file can be generated directly from measuring data in a fastreverse-engineering mode. Compressing the massive data from laser scanner is the key of the newmode. An adaptive compression method based on triangulated-surfaces model is put forward.Normal-vector angles between triangles are computed to find prime vertices for removal. Ring datastructure is adopted to save massive data effectively. It allows the efficient retrieval of allneighboring vertices and triangles of a given vertices. To avoid long and thin triangles, a newre-triangulation approach based on normalized minimum-vertex-distance is proposed, in which thevertex distance and interior angle of triangle are considered. Results indicate that the compressionmethod has high efficiency and can get reliable precision. The method can be applied in fastreverse engineering to acquire an optimal subset of the original massive data.
