Reconstruction of 3D models from sketches with inductive learning technique

Effective learning interface

Abstract

Generally sketches as line drawings are important tools for designers when they create new mechanical parts and so forth. We have proposed methods for the reconstruction of solid models from sketches. In our methods, a complex sketch could be divided into simple sketches such as cuboids and cylinders. Therefore, a solid model as the solution could be obtained by assembling their solid models. In our algorithm, inductive learning technique is applied. However, it has been difficult to use that for designers. In this paper, more effective interface is proposed for the learning system. Each learning step consists of CAD operations and the way to apply learned operations is clarified.
