Enhanced volume decomposition minimizing overlapping volumes for the recognition of design features

Volume decomposition methods are one type of feature recognition method. They decompose a solid model into simple volumes which are mostly overlapped by each other. However, the overlap of decomposed volumes leads to unnatural results in the recognition of design features. In order to address this p...

Description
Summary:Volume decomposition methods are one type of feature recognition method. They decompose a solid model into simple volumes which are mostly overlapped by each other. However, the overlap of decomposed volumes leads to unnatural results in the recognition of design features. In order to address this problem, we suggest a novel method called non-overlapping volume decomposition in which the overlap of volumes decomposed from a solid model is minimized; the overlap is only allowed when it is desirable from the viewpoint of feature-based 3D modeling practice. After introducing the concept of non-overlapping volume decomposition, we discuss technical issues and their solutions. Non-overlapping volume decomposition was also verified by experiments using a prototype system.
