Abstract
Earthenware fragments are manually assembled. However, there is risk that the earthenware fragments are damaged during the manual work. According to this situation, a system which can help a user to assemble the fragments with the visual information in a computer is developed. Our system are combined with the interface which is used by placing the fragments and matching function in 3D. The data of the earthenware fragments used in this paper is measured by the 3D measurement device. In our method, the measured point clouds are displayed in 2D plane at first. Then, the user can match the fragments with the features of patterns and rim parts. Based on a fixed order which can help the user to assemble the fragments, the earthenware fragments are assembled. Experiments have shown that our method works well and is of great benefit to assembling the earthenware fragments.
