Industrial inspection and reverse engineering

Proposes a new design for inspection and reverse engineering environments. The authors have designed and experimented with such an environment for capturing sense data of mechanical parts in an intelligent way. They construct a sensing /spl rarr/ CAD interface for the automatic reconstruction of parts from visual data. They briefly discuss the use of the dynamic recursive finite state machine (DRFSM) as a new discrete event dynamic system (DEDS) tool for controlling inspection and exploration. They also implement a graphical interface for designing DRFSM DEDS controllers.<
