TL;DR: The development of the concept attributed adjacency graph (AAG) for the recognition of machined features from a 3D boundary representation of a solid is presented.
Abstract: The internal representation of the solid modeller provides a description of parts which when used directly is useful for automation of the process planning function. So that the CAD model can be used to provide the information required for manufacturing, techniques to improve machine understanding of the part as required for manufacturing are needed. This paper presents the development of the concept attributed adjacency graph (AAG) for the recognition of machined features from a 3D boundary representation of a solid. Current implementation of the feature recogniser is limited to polyhedral features such as pockets, slots, steps, blind steps, blind slots, and polyhedral holes. Sample results that show the capabilities of the system are presented.
TL;DR: In this article, an automatic feature recognizer decomposes the total volume to be machined into volumetric features that satisfy stringent conditions for manufacturability, and correspond to operations typically performed in 3-axis machining centers.
Abstract: Discusses an automatic feature recognizer that decomposes the total volume to be machined into volumetric features that satisfy stringent conditions for manufacturability, and correspond to operations typically performed in 3-axis machining centers. Unlike most of the previous research, the approach is based on general techniques for dealing with features with intersecting volumes. Feature interactions are represented explicitly in the recognizer's output, to facilitate spatial reasoning in subsequent planning stages. A generate-and-test strategy is used. OPS-5 production rules generate hints or clues for the existence of features, and post them on a blackboard. The clues are assessed, and those judged promising are processed to ensure that they correspond to actual features, and to gather information for process planning. Computational geometry techniques are used to produce the largest volumetric feature compatible with the available data. The feature's accessibility, and its interactions with others are analyzed. The validity tests ensure that the proposed features are accessible, do not intrude into the desired part, and satisfy other machinability conditions. The process continues until it produces a complete decomposition of the volume to be machined into fully-specified features. >

TL;DR: The paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in feature recognition research by focusing on the three of the major algorithmic approaches for feature recognition: graph-based algorithms, volumetric decomposition techniques, and hint-based geometric reasoning.
Abstract: The field of solid modeling has developed a variety of techniques for unambiguous representations of three-dimensional objects. Feature recognition is a sub-discipline of solid modeling that focuses on the design and implementation of algorithms for detecting manufacturing information from solid models produced by computer-aided design (CAD) systems. Examples of this manufacturing information include features such as holes, slots, pockets and other shapes that can be created on modern computer numerically controlled machining systems. Automated feature recognition has been an active research area in solid modeling for many years and is considered to be a critical component for integration of CAD and computer-aided manufacturing. The paper gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in feature recognition research. Rather than giving an exhaustive survey, we focus on the three of the major algorithmic approaches for feature recognition: graph-based algorithms, volumetric decomposition techniques, and hint-based geometric reasoning. For each approach, we present a detailed description of the algorithms being employed along with some assessments of the technology. We conclude by outlining important open research and development issues.
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper jointly applied the local FCN (fully convolution neural network) and YOLO-v5 to the detection of small targets in remote sensing images.
Abstract: This exploration primarily aims to jointly apply the local FCN (fully convolution neural network) and YOLO-v5 (You Only Look Once-v5) to the detection of small targets in remote sensing images. Firstly, the application effects of R-CNN (Region-Convolutional Neural Network), FRCN (Fast Region-Convolutional Neural Network), and R-FCN (Region-Based-Fully Convolutional Network) in image feature extraction are analyzed after introducing the relevant region proposal network. Secondly, YOLO-v5 algorithm is established on the basis of YOLO algorithm. Besides, the multi-scale anchor mechanism of Faster R-CNN is utilized to improve the detection ability of YOLO-v5 algorithm for small targets in the image in the process of image detection, and realize the high adaptability of YOLO-v5 algorithm to different sizes of images. Finally, the proposed detection method YOLO-v5 algorithm + R-FCN is compared with other algorithms in NWPU VHR-10 data set and Vaihingen data set. The experimental results show that the YOLO-v5 + R-FCN detection method has the optimal detection ability among many algorithms, especially for small targets in remote sensing images such as tennis courts, vehicles, and storage tanks. Moreover, the YOLO-v5 + R-FCN detection method can achieve high recall rates for different types of small targets. Furthermore, due to the deeper network architecture, the YOL v5 + R-FCN detection method has a stronger ability to extract the characteristics of image targets in the detection of remote sensing images. Meanwhile, it can achieve more accurate feature recognition and detection performance for the densely arranged target images in remote sensing images. This research can provide reference for the application of remote sensing technology in China, and promote the application of satellites for target detection tasks in related fields.
