Abstract
Abstract This paper describes the current status of our feature recognition method using a convex decomposition method called Alternating Sum of Volumes with Partitioning (ASVP). Volumetric form features are recognized from a part’s boundary representation by applying combination operations to the ASVP decomposition of the part to obtain a Form Feature Decomposition (FFD). The FFD can be post-processed to obtain application-specific feature representations; in particular, the conversion to the Negative Feature Decomposition (NFD), a machining feature representation, is described. Our domain of recognizable parts includes those having planar and cylindrical surfaces such that all cylindrical surfaces are bounded by straight edges and circular arcs, or are blending surfaces resulting from applying constant-radius blending to the part. We report the results of applying our method to the test parts for the 1997 Computers in Engineering Feature Panel Session.
