Application of CAD Technology in Extracting Line Feature of Industrial Part Image by Fei Li

“…In order to solve the problem that the properties of the acquired images in engineering are often poor and the features of the images are seriously lost, so that the image features cannot be effectively developed, an application method of CAD technology in the extraction of linear features of industrial parts images is proposed. Based on 3D computer-aided design (CAD) data, by solving the parameter transformation relationship between the CAD 3D Cartesian coordinate system and the image coordinate system, the target line feature is projected onto the image, and the initial value range of the image line feature is obtained. …”
