Abstract

A system (100) and method for replicating the geometry of a physical object (122) includes a computer (102) and storage means (108) for storing data representative of features of a multidimensional object (122). The system (100) includes an input device (112) that is used for identifying locations in three-dimensional space, and for providing signals representative of those locations. Means (106) responsive to the input signals is provided to define a line in the system extending across at least a portion of space defined as containing the object (122). A user diverts the input device (112) to a location on the object (122) to intersect a portion of a cut plane which is defined on the line. This and other user input defined locations are retrieved and stored by the computer (102). When finished the collective defined locations are used to define the object (122) in three-dimensional space.

REPLICATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIGITIZING

THE GEOMETRY OF A PHYSICAL OBJECT

Appendix

The attached appendix, consisting of 55 pages of source code in the CADL language, is fully incorporated herein.

Background of the Invention

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to computer modeling and graphics systems, and more particularly to systems for digitizing a physical model in response to input signals produced directly from detection of surface characteristics of the physical model.

Description of the Related Technology

After a physical model is created, it may be useful to create a computer file describing the model. This file can be used, among other things, to develop animations and create tooling. Companies perform this process in a variety of ways. For simple shapes, the object can be measured and the data entered manually, i.e., by hand, via a standard computer aided design (CAD) program. This works for simple objects but becomes very difficult with curves or other complex shapes. The operator must be well trained and very accurate in the measurement and entry steps in order to achieve good results.

In the last several years a number of three-dimensional digitizing devices have been introduced on the market that allow the object to be "traced" in space and a file created from this data. These devices include both manual digitizers, that are moved into position by the operator, and scanning laser based systems, that rotate the object on a pedestal and automatically gather the data. Both system types have their disadvantages.

The scanning laser systems gather large amounts of data, usually at a predetermined spacing. As a result data files can become quite large and the resulting models more complex then required. This can be a tremendous burden when animating an object. These systems also have trouble with some shapes. For example, when digitizing a human model, the system may not be able to distinguish the body from the arms. As a result the arms of the model can blend into the body. The file then has to be hand modified to correct many of these problems. This is a time consuming and error prone task.

A major problem with manual digitizers is that inputting the data is tedious and error prone. The physical model normally has a grid placed on it, either with thin tape or drawn on it . The operator, using the grid as a reference , goes to the points of interest and inputs them. Since the digitizer is much more accurate then the operator, the data is never quite smooth. Many times the model seams do not meet or other problems are created that require the resulting data files to be hand modified. The operator must be highly trained for good results with this type of device.

Therefore, what is needed is a system to accelerate the process of digitizing a physical model for the purpose of creating a CAD file and which does this by minimizing the human intervention required. Such a system needs to provide support for a digitizer in order to speed data gathering, eliminate errors, and simplify the process so less training is necessary. Summary of the Invention

The Replicator is a system and method used to speed up the process of digitizing a physical model for the purpose of creating a CAD file. The Replicator works with the digitizer to speed data gathering and eliminate errors.

One aspect of the present invention includes a system for replicating the geometry of a physical object comprising: a computer; storage means interfaced with the computer for storing data representative of features of a multidimensional object; input means connected to the computer for producing input signals representative of locations in three-dimensional space; means responsive to the input means for defining a line extending between selected ones of said locations, wherein said line extends across at least a portion of space in which said object is defined, by said data, as residing; means responsive to the input means for detecting when a location represented by at least one of said input signals intersects a portion of said line; means, responsive to said means for detecting, for producing a signal identifying the location of said intersection; and means responsive to said signal for storing data in said storage means, so as to represent a corresponding location of a portion of said multidimensional object with respect to each of its dimensions.

Another aspect of the present invention includes a method for replicating the geometry of a physical object by use of a computer having storage means for storing data representative of features of a multidimensional object, and an input device, the method comprising the steps of: producing input signals representative of locations in three-dimensional space; defining a line extending between selected ones of said locations, wherein said line extends across at least a portion of space in which said object is defined, by said data, as residing; detecting when a location represented by at least one of said input signals intersects a portion of said line; producing a signal identifying the location of said intersection; and storing data in said storage means so as to represent a location of a portion of said multidimensional object, corresponding to said intersection location, with respect to each of the dimensions of said multidimensional object.

The system also includes an apparatus and a method wherein at least a portion of the stored data is then used to define the object. The data can be modified by conventional systems such as CAD systems to produce a modified object. Data representing the original or modified object may be used to control tools to produce physical objects corresponding to the object represented by the data.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments presents a description of certain specific embodiments to assist in understanding the claims. However, the present invention can be embodied in a multitude of different ways as defined and covered by the claims.

For convenience, the following description will be outlined into the following 7 principal sections: System

Overview; Components of the Replicator System; Operating Commands & Features of the Replicator System; Manual, SemiAuto and Auto Modes; Cut Plane Mode; Data Usage; and Epilogue.

I. System Overview

In its simplest form the Replicator system can be thought of as creating planes onto which data points are semi-automatically gathered. The operator defines a plane in the computer that slices through space occupied by the object to be digitized. The digitizing probe tip is placed on the object and moved along the object so as to pass through the plane. Each time the probe passes through the plane a point is captured. The operator does not have to know exactly where the plane is as long as the probe is passed through it (a sound cue, e.g., beep, is sounded when this occurs). The plane is then moved and the next set of points are input. The system allows for automatic plane incrementation, and the intersection of multiple planes. Multiple coordinate systems and other features such as finding the maximum point along a coordinate axis are supported. These functions, while simple in principle, allow an experienced operator to digitize a model much more quickly and accurately than with conventional tools. These functions also allow a less-experienced operator to be useful in the process.

The data that is gathered is then passed to a commercially available software package, such as a package produced by FastSURF, Inc., of Sonoma, CA, called FastSURF, for spline generation. The system works with a CAD system called CADKEY manufactured by CADKEY, Inc. In other embodiments, the Replicator system utilizes other PC and UNIX based computers.

The Replicator also has data compression capabilities that may be considered to be a byproduct of the operator guided data input. An highly-experienced operator will not gather needless data points, so there will be less data to describe the object than if it were digitized by a laser scanner. However, the Replicator allows operators having lessor skill levels to minimize the amount of data collected due to the guidance provided by the system.

II. Components of the Replicator System Figure 1 illustrates the components of one presently preferred embodiment of the computerized replicator system 100 for digitizing the geometry of a physical object of the present invention. A 386 class or newer personal computer

(PC) 102 includes a plurality of components internal and external to an enclosure 104. A graphics interface 106 interconnects the computer 102 to a video display 114. The video display may also be included within enclosure 104. Connected to the computer 102 is a storage device 108, e.g., a hard disk drive of a minimum 80 Megabytes, a keyboard 110, a pointing device 112, e.g., a mouse, and an optional printer 116. These components 110-116 may be integrated within enclosure 104, such as, for example, a laptop or notebook class portable computer. Also connected to the computer 102 is a measurement arm or probe 120 that is used to probe a physical object 122.

The Replicator system 100 (also called the 3-D Replicator) includes a software program which, when used in conjunction with CADKEY CAD software and the Metrecom Industrial-1 measurement arm 120, manufactured by Faro Technologies, Inc., enables the end user to develop 2-D (two dimensional) and 3-D (three dimensional) computer/digital geometry from the physical object 122. CADKEY is a trademark of CADKEY, Inc., and Metrecom Industrial-1 is a trademark of Faro Technologies, Inc.

Through a series of menus and by using the Faro Metrecom Industrial-1 probe 120 the user can create points, lines, polylines, splines, arcs, circles, and polygons. Furthermore, the user can also utilize the measure option to determine the distance between two points, and by using the "Pnt Near" and "Pnt Far" functions the user can locate key points on the physical object 122. The Replicator system 100 essentially integrates CADKEY and the Faro Metrecom Industrial-1 120 together in a user-friendly way resulting in high levels of end user productivity. The Replicator system software is written in CADL, CADKEY' s Advanced Design Language. CADL is a trademark of CADKEY, Inc. CADKEY is a CAD software program which runs on 386 class and newer personal computers (PCs) using MS-DOS and also on Unix platforms. MS-DOS is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. The Metrecom Industrial-1 is a peripheral device which attaches to the personal computer or Unix platforms. The Metrecom Industrial-1 120 essentially is a three-dimensional measurement arm or probe which sends the location of the arm's tip, in X, Y, Z coordinate terms to the personal computer 102. Of course, any commercially available input device for obtaining location information of 3-D objects can be used, including non-contact devices such as lasers, sonic devices and the like. The Faro Metrecom IND-1

The Industrial Metrecom 120 (Figure 1) is a portable, state-of-the-art 3-D measurement arm or probe which provides a highly advantageous combination of speed, flexibility, and accuracy for a great variety of design, reverse engineering, production, and quality control applications. The Industrial Metrecom 120 scans and measures complex 3-D surfaces and all other conventional features instantly.

The measurement arm 120 of the presently preferred embodiment is a counter-balanced, six degree-of-freedom (X, Y, Z, pitch, roll, yaw) instrumented arm, constructed of anodized aircraft aluminum with precision bearings. High precision rotary transducers at each of six joints combine to provide complete point position and body orientation information. Measurements are taken by two switches (not shown) located at the handle. A point probe and a 0.25" ball probe are included with the system. Custom probes can be used with convenient probe calibration software.

The IND-01 model measurement arm 120 has a Sigma of 0.008 inches, for both single point positional accuracy and linear displacement accuracy. Therefore, the 2-Sigma accuracy of the IND-01 model is +/- 0.016 inches. This means that 95.5% of all the measurements will have an accuracy of +/- 0.016 inches.

SetGrid Overview: The SetGrid enables the user to set the Primary and Secondary Planes. The Primary Plane must be selected in order to use the Replicator's CutPlane Mode. The Primary and Secondary Planes must be specified in order to use the Replicator's Locate:PntPln X (i.e., Locate the Point on an object's surface which intersects at the intersection of the Primary and Secondary Planes). The Replicator sets the Grid Planes at an X,Y and Z coordinate origin of 0,0,0. Key In Plane displacements assume this origin. The Primary Plane is always displayed in Red. The Secondary Plane is always displayed in Green.

SetGrid - Ppln: Set Primary Plane is used to cycle the Primary Plane as follows:

Ppln

: No Plane

Ppln XY: XY Plane, Z Displacement

Ppln XZ: XZ Plane, Y Displacement

Ppln YZ: YZ Plane, X Displacement

The Replicator sets the Grid Planes at an X,Y and Z origin of 0,0,0. Key In Plane displacements assume this origin. The Primary Plane is always displayed in Red.

SetGrid - PplnDisp - Probe: Sets the Primary Plane's displacement using the Probe. Used to Probe select the

Primary Plane's displacement offset on the object's surface.

SetGrid - PplnDisp - Mouse: Sets the Primary Plane's displacement using the Mouse. When using the Mouse option the following Menu is displayed: CURSOR, POINT, ENDENT, INTRSC, ALONGL, POLAR, DELTA, and KEY-IN. CURSOR, and POINT are the most useful. CURSOR enables the user to mouse select, with the system cursor, the desired Primary Plane's displacement. POINT enables the user to utilize an existing point to specify the Primary Plane's displacement.

SetGrid - PplnDisp - Key In: Keys In the Primary Plane's displacement.

SetGrid - Spin: Set Secondary Plane is used to cycle the Secondary Plane as follows:

Spin

: No Plane

Spin XY: XY Plane, Z Displacement

Spin XZ: XZ Plane, Y Displacement

Spin YZ: YZ Plane, X Displacement

Green.

SetGrid - SplnDisp - Probe: Sets the Secondary Plane's displacement using the Probe. Used to Probe select the

Secondary Plane's displacement offset on the object's surface.

SetGrid - SplnDisp - Mouse: Sets the Secondary Plane's displacement using the Mouse. When using the Mouse option the following Menu is displayed: CURSOR, POINT, ENDENT, INTRSC, ALONGL, POLAR, DELTA, and KEY-IN. CURSOR, and POINT are the most useful. CURSOR enables the user to mouse select, with the system cursor, the desired Secondary Plane's displacement. POINT enables the user to utilize an existing point to specify the Secondary Plane's displacement.

SetGrid - SplnDisp - Key In: Keys In the Secondary Plane's displacement. SetGrid - Grid Tol: Sets the Primary Plane's tolerance for the Replicator's CutPlane mode, i.e., specifies the Primary Plane's tolerance. The system default for Grid Tol is +/- 0.025. Lowering Grid Tol increases the Replicator's precision and makes finding Nodes more difficult. Increasing Grid Tol decreases the Replicator's precision and make finding Nodes less difficult. SetGrid - GridSize: Sets Primary and Secondary Plane size to a new user-specified size. The Replicator system default for GridSize is six units. If CADKEY is in Inches mode, the outer boundaries of the Primary and Secondary Planes are displayed six inches from the origin of the Plane.

SetGrid - Origin - Probe: Sets the Origin of the Primary and Secondary Grid Plane to a new user specified location using the Probe. The Replicator system default for Grid Plane Origin is 0, 0, 0.

SetGrid - Origin - Mouse: Sets the Origin of the Primary and Secondary Grid Plane to a new user specified location using the Mouse. The Replicator system default for Grid Plane Origin is 0, 0, 0. When using the Mouse option the Following Menu is displayed: CURSOR, POINT, ENDENT, INTRSC, ALONGL, POLAR, DELTA, and KEY-IN. CURSOR, and POINT are the most useful. CURSOR enables the user to mouse select, with the system cursor, the desired Grid Plane's location. POINT enables the user to utilize an existing point to specify the desired Grid Plane's location.

yPrimary and Secondary Plane Displacements are set to zero. Grid Tol is set to 0.025. Origin is set to 0, 0, 0, and Autolnc is set to zero. IV. Manual. SemiAuto and Auto Modes

Referring to Figures 2a and 2b, a top-level process 200, used by the Manual, SemiAuto, and Automatic Modes previously explained, will now be described. Beginning at a start state 202, the computer 102 (Figure 1) advances to state 204 to get a point node from the probe or coordinate measurement machine (CMM) 120 (Figure 1). The data of the incoming point node from the CMM 120 is in X, Y, Z coordinates format. The CMM arm is guided by the user on the surface of object 122. The point node data is saved at state 206 in an X, Y, Z node array. Each entry in the node array stores the X, Y and Z coordinates for the point node. After the data is saved at state 206, the computer 102 moves to a decision state 208 to determine if all the points have been acquired, i.e., has the user indicated to the computer that, all desired points have been acquired by pressing a button (B2) on the measuring arm or other similar user action (mouse click, keyboard keyin, and so forth) . If not, the computer 102 moves back to state 204 to get the next point from the CMM 120. However, if the point node acquisition is done, as determined at state 208, the computer 102 proceeds to a decision state 210 to determine if the user desires to build a point stream, as selected from the menu. A point stream is a collection of point nodes in 3-D space that define the boundaries of an entity. If not, the computer 102 proceeds through off-page connector A 212 to a decision state 220 on Figure 2b. However, if the result of decision state 210 is true, the computer moves to state 214 and builds a point stream based on the X, Y, Z array previously written at state 206. At the completion of state 214, i.e., the point stream is built, the computer 102 proceeds through off-page connector B 216 to end state 232 on Figure 2b.

At decision state 220 determines if the user desires to build a line stream, as selected from the menu. A line stream is a sequential series of lines connecting the nodes collected by the CMM 120 in X, Y, Z space that are stored in the order of entry. If so, the computer 102 moves to state 222 and builds a line stream based on the X, Y, Z array previously written at state 206. At the completion of state 222, i.e., the line stream is built, the computer 102 proceeds to the end state 232. If the user does not desire to build a line stream, as determined by state 220, the computer 102 proceeds to a decision state 224 to determine if the user desires to build a polyline, as selected from the menu. A polyline is defined by a minimum of three node points. If so, the computer 102 moves to state 226 and builds the polyline based on the X, Y, Z array previously written at state 206. At the completion of state 226, i.e., the polyline is built, the computer 102 proceeds to the end state 232. If the user does not desire to build a polyline, as determined by state 224, the computer 102 proceeds to a decision state 228 to determine if the user desires to build a spline, as selected from the menu. If so, the computer moves to state 230 and builds a spline based on the X, Y, Z array previously written at state 206. At the completion of state 230, i.e., the spline is built, the computer 102 proceeds to the end state 232. If the user does not desire to build a spline, as determined by state 228, the computer 102 proceeds to end state 232.

V. Cut Plane Mode

Referring to Figures 3a and 3b, a top-level process 250, used by the Cut Plane Mode previously explained, will now be described. Beginning at a start state 252, the computer 102 (Figure 1) advances to state 254 to get a point node from the probe or coordinate measurement machine (CMM) 120 (Figure 1). The data of the incoming point node from the CMM 120 is in X, Y, Z coordinates format. The CMM arm is guided by the user on the surface of object 122. Moving to a decision state 256, the computer 102 determines if the incoming point node is in the cut plane previously determined by the user. If not, the computer 102 moves back to state 254 to get the next point node from the CMM as the user moves the probe along the surface of the object 122. This next point node is then checked at state 256 to determine if it is in the cut plane.

When the criteria of state 256 is true, that is, the incoming point node is in the cut plane, the computer 102 moves to state 258 and saves the point node data in a X, Y, Z node array. The computer 102 also produces a signal, such as a beep tone, to notify the user of crossing the cut plane. After the data is saved at state 258, the computer 102 moves to a decision state 260 to determine if all the points have been acquired. If not, the computer 102 moves back to state 254 to get the next point from the CMM 120 and to perform the cut plane check at state 256. However, if the point node acquisition is done, as determined at state 208, the computer 102 proceeds through off-page connector A 262 to a decision state 264 on Figure 3b. States 264 through 280 of Figure 3b are essentially the same as states 210 through 232 of Figures 2a and 2b, and therefore, to avoid repetition, are not described.

VI. Data Usage

The data describing the physical object 122 (Figure 1) that is measured by CMM 120 is stored in a file in the computer 102 or in storage 108. This data may then be processed to create a surface representation which can be used to create tooling, molds, and so forth for the manufacture of copies of the object. Another use of the data is for graphics or animation for producing an accurate image of the object. Thus, the object data may be used as output by the replicator system 100, or the data may be modified using industry standard CAD/CAM or modelling software to user specifications, e.g., the object is enlarged.

The Replicator system data or the modified data is then sent to a manufacturing system common to the industry to produce exact copies of the original physical object or copies of the user-modified version of the original physical object. Alternately, the user may send the Replicator system data or the modified data to an animation system to utilize exact copies of the original physical object or copies of the user-modified version of the original physical object. There are many graphics or animation systems in use in the industry. VII. Epilogue

The system software described herein, a portion of which is listed in the attached appendix, is written in CADL, version 6. The software was translated from source code to machine readable object code using the CADKEY CADL language compiler.

In yet other embodiments, other computers, operating systems, CAD packages, or algorithms can be used. The general system, method and procedures would remain the same. The Replicator system described herein finds application in many environments, and is readily adaptable for use therein.

While the above detailed description has shown, described and pointed out the fundamental novel features of the invention as applied to various embodiments, it will be understood that various omissions and substitutions and changes in the form and details of the device illustrated may be made by those skilled in the art, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Claims

WHAT IS CLAIMED IS:

1. A system for replicating the geometry of a physical object comprising:

a computer;

storage means interfaced with the computer for storing data representative of features of a multidimensional object;

input means connected to the computer for producing input signals representative of locations in three- dimensional space;

means responsive to the input means for defining a line extending between selected ones of said locations, wherein said line extends across at least a portion of space in which said object is defined, by said data, as residing;

means responsive to the input means for detecting when a location represented by at least one of said input signals intersects a portion of said line;

means, responsive to said means for detecting, for producing a signal identifying the location of said intersection; and

means responsive to said signal for storing data in said storage means, so as to represent a corresponding location of a portion of said multidimensional object with respect to each of its dimensions.

2. A system for replicating the geometry of a physical object as defined in Claim 1, further comprising:

means connected to the storage means for modifying at least a portion of the data representative of features of the multidimensional object so as to produce data representative of a modified multidimensional object; and means responsive to the modifying means for storing data modified by said modifying means.

A system as defined in Claim 1 , further comprising : means for producing a physical obj ect ; and means, responsive to the stored data, for controlling said means for producing so as to produce a multidimensional object substantially corresponding to the object represented by said stored data.

4. A system as defined in Claim 2, further comprising:

means for producing a physical object; and

means, responsive to the stored data, for controlling said means for producing so as to produce a multidimensional object substantially corresponding to the modified object represented by said stored data.

5. The system defined in Claim 1, wherein the object is three-dimensional.

6. A method for replicating the geometry of a physical object by use of a computer having storage means for storing data representative of features of a multidimensional object, and an input device, the method comprising the steps of:

producing input signals representative of locations in three-dimensional space;

defining a line extending between selected ones of said locations, wherein said line extends across at least a portion of space in which said object is defined, by said data, as residing;

detecting when a location represented by at least one of said input signals intersects a portion of said line;

producing a signal identifying the location of said ntersection; and

storing data in said storage means so as to represent a location of a portion of said multidimensional object, corresponding to said intersection location, with respect to each of the dimensions of said multidimensional object.

7. A method as defined in Claim 6, further comprising the steps of :

modifying at least a portion of the data representative of features of the multidimensional object so as to produce data representative of a modified multidimensional object; and

storing said modified data.

8. A method as defined in Claim 6, further comprising the step of controlling at least one tool in response to the stored data so as to produce a multidimensional object substantially corresponding to the object represented by said stored data.
