INVERSION ALGORITHM FOR GEOMETRIC MODELS.

Abstract

Instead of storing boundary models of solids directly into a data base, it would be advantageous to map them first into a simpler form. This approach calls for a procedure called in this study the inversion algorithm of a geometric model. The author presents and analyzes an inversion algorithm which constructs a sequence of Euler Operators capable of creating a given boundary representation. The algorithm is completely based on the use of Euler Operators enabling the author to keep the algorithm simple and to hide implementation and data structure details.
