  • System for acquiring profile information from three-dimensional profile data, its method and computer software program
    Patent number: 7477251
    Abstract: In order to circumvent the problems above, the present invention aims to expand the scope of the usage of the information included in three-dimensional shape data by acquiring the shape information included in the three-dimensional shape data automatically on a shape element basis and setting linkages across the acquired information. Linked processing can be performed across the corresponding shape information having different shape elements by adding a linkage identifier to the shape information when generating the shape information from the three-dimensional shape data. For example, when processing for a single shape information is carried out, other shape information can be edited by linkage.

  • Generation of free-form surface model by reversible rounding operation
    Patent number: 6867769
    Abstract: A method of generating a free-form surface model includes the steps of applying linear transformation to a lattice polygon model to generate vertices of a free-form surface model corresponding to respective vertices of the lattice polygon model, and generating control points of cubic Bezier curves that connect the vertices of the free-form surface model, and that correspond to respective edges of the lattice polygon model.
