Title:
APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR FORMING 2D VIEWS OF A STRUCTURE FROM 3D POINT DATA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001088849
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
An apparatus and method are described for forming 2D views of a structure from 3D point data. In the present invention, a plane is specified and triangulated meshes are intersected with the plane to form a group of polylines. The significant features of each polyline are then extracted, and the features are then connected to form intersection polylines that closely approximate the intersection polylines that would be generated by intersecting the real 3D structure with the specified plane. The final 2D view consists of the connected features extracted from the polylines.
