Abstract

A system and method for detecting defects of objects based on a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) platform includes a measurement apparatus ( 10 ), an application server ( 12 ), and a database server ( 14 ). The application server includes a data acquiring module ( 120 ) for acquiring point cloud data of an object and acquiring a three-dimensional digital model of the object; a point cloud cutting ( 121 ) module for cleaning and editing the point cloud data; a point cloud filtering module ( 122 ) for filtering the point cloud data; a data aligning module ( 123 ) for aligning the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object; a data comparing module ( 124 ) for comparing the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object; and a report management module ( 125 ) for generating a color comparison report. A related method is also disclosed.

Claims (28)

1. A system for detecting defects of objects based on a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) platform, the system comprising a measurement apparatus, art application server, and a database server, wherein the application server comprises:

a data acquiring module for acquiring point cloud data of an object measured by the measurement apparatus and acquiring a three-dimensional digital model of the object stored in the database server;

a point cloud cutting module for cleaning and editing the point cloud data by cutting overlapping areas of the point cloud data;

a point cloud filtering module for filtering the point cloud data to make the point clouds smooth and regular;

a data aligning module for aligning the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object; and

a data comparing module for comparing the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object, obtaining any deviations in x-y-z Cartesian coordinates, and indicating different deviations by using different colors.

2. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the application server further comprises a report management module for generating a color comparison report according to comparison results generated by the data comparing module.

3. The system according to claim 1 , wherein the measurement apparatus is used for generating point cloud data of measured objects.

4. The system according to claim 3 , wherein the measurement apparatus is any one or more of a laser scanner, a coordinate measuring machine and an x-ray scanner.

5. A method for detecting defects of objects based on a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) platform, the method comprising the steps of:

acquiring point cloud data measured from an object;

cutting overlapping areas of the point cloud data;

filtering the point cloud data;

acquiring a corresponding three-dimensional digital model of the object;

comparing the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object, and obtaining any deviations in x-y-z Cartesian coordinates;

indicating different deviations by using different colors; and

generating a color comparison report.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising the step of outputting the color comparison report.

7. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising the step of storing the color comparison report.

8. A method for detecting defects of objects based on a CAD platform, the method comprising the steps of:

acquiring point cloud data measured from an object;

cutting overlapping areas of the point cloud data;

filtering the point cloud data;

acquiring a corresponding three-dimensional digital model of the object;

aligning the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object;

comparing the point cloud data with the three-dimensional digital model of the object, and obtaining any deviations in x-y-z Cartesian coordinates;

indicating different deviations by using differently colored expressioins; and

generating a comparison report based at least in part on the differently colored expressions.
