Method for refining geometric description models using images
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for refining a geometric description model of an object using an image of that object, the method comprising:
- providing an image of the object;
providing a rough geometric description model of the object;
extracting sub-models from the rough geometric description model;
finding poses of the sub-models in the image;
using the found sub-models to construct a refined geometric description model;
using constraints to further refine the refined geometric description model; and
refitting the further refined geometric description model to the found sub-model poses to provide a new pose of the further refined geometric description model.

Abstract
The creation of accurate geometric description-based models of objects in a machine vision system can be performed in a computer-assisted process. A rough model of an image of an object forms the basis of the model. The model is refined through the application of machine vision tools and techniques so as to provide a model including a geometric description. The model can be used in machine vision applications that may be used, for example, to compare images of objects under inspection to the model.
