Book excerpt: Reverse engineering of geometric models is the process of creating a computer aided model from an existing physical part so that subsequent manufacturing processes may be implemented. Applications of reverse engineering can range from the production of molds and dies from wood or clay models to the creation of replacement parts from worn existing machinery. In reverse engineering, both contact and non-contact measurement probes are used to gather measured surface points. However, due to the nature of these instruments, both the direction of the probe during measurement and the conversion of the gathered data to the appropriate computer aided models are currently very difficult. This thesis addresses some of these problems. A stereo vision system employing neural network based image segmentation is implemented to automatically generate probe paths for either a touch trigger probe or an optical laser scanner. A fuzzy logic based iterative geometry fitting algorithm is used to fit geometric primitives to measured surface data. As modern computer aided drafting programs utilise parametric modelling methods and topology information, regarding the association of neighbouring surface patches is determined from the fitted geometric entities. Finally, utilising the extracted geometric and topology information, specific surface features, such as comers, slots and steps are detected using a feed-forward neural network. The computational tools in this thesis provide methods that reduce the time and effort required to geometrically reverse engineer an existing physical object.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the latest, innovative research findings on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud, and Internet Computing. It gathers the Proceedings of the 12th International Conference on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing, held on November 8–10, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain. These computing technologies have rapidly established themselves as breakthrough paradigms for solving complex problems by enabling the aggregation and sharing of an increasing variety of distributed computational resources at large scale. Grid Computing originated as a paradigm for high-performance computing, offering an alternative to expensive supercomputers through different forms of large-scale distributed computing, while P2P Computing emerged as a new paradigm after client-server and web-based computing and has shown to be useful in the development of social networking, B2B (Business to Business), B2C (Business to Consumer), B2G (Business to Government), B2E (Business to Employee), and so on. Cloud Computing has been defined as a “computing paradigm where the boundaries of computing are determined by economic rationale rather than technical limits”. Cloud computing has quickly been adopted in a broad range of application domains and provides utility computing at large scale. Lastly, Internet Computing is the basis of any large-scale distributed computing paradigm; it has very rapidly developed into a flourishing field with an enormous impact on today’s information societies, serving as a universal platform comprising a large variety of computing forms such as Grid, P2P, Cloud and Mobile computing. The aim of the book “Advances on P2P, Parallel, Grid, Cloud and Internet Computing” is to provide the latest findings, methods and development techniques from both theoretical and practical perspectives, and to reveal synergies between these large-scale computing paradigms.
