A genetic algorithm applied in the three-dimensional reconstruction of digitalized objects

Abstract

We present a method to fully reconstruct real objects acquired by any means of digitalization and where many scans from different views of point have been made. The current problem is modeled as an optimization problem and solved with a Genetic Algorithm (GA) using a custom fitness function based in regular squared distance minimization (SDM). We present examples to show the applicability of our method to reconstruct full objects as well as a possible application in reverse engineering.
