Abstract

The problem of re-assembling an object from its parts or fragments has never been addressed with a unified computational approach, which depends on the pure geometric form of the parts and not on application-specific features. We propose a method for the automatic reconstruction of a model based on the geometry of its parts, which may be computer-generated models or range-scanned models. The matching process can benefit from any other external constraint imposed by the specific application
