Research Interests

 

1. Path Planning:

Our research and development include theoretical and practical aspects of geometric modeling approaches to path planning algorithms. Fair path planning is one of the fundamental problems, with numerous applications in the fields of science, engineering and technology such as highway or railway designing, networks, robotics, GIS, navigation, CAD systems, collision detection and avoidance, animation, environmental design, communications, gear designing, and other disciplines. One of the main approaches to path planning is through the use of splines, such as spiral functions.

Keywords: Computer Graphics, Computer Aided Geometric Design, Path Planning, Robotics Applications

 

2. Reverse Engineering:

Reverse engineering is a method to create a 2D or 3D virtual model of an existing physical part for use in CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. The process of reverse engineering involves measuring an object and then reconstructing it as a model. Reverse engineering, first of all, digitize the real objects through laser scanner, structured light digitizers, or computed tomography. The measured data is processed and modelled into a more usable format such as a triangular faced mesh, a set of NURBS surfaces or a CAD model. These soft models are reconstructed or redesigned and then transformed into the hard models required in various industrial settings.

Keywords: Computer Graphics, Digital Image Processing, CAD, NURBS

We are collaborating with international researchers and scientists in the theoretical and practical aspects of above mentioned research areas.
