• openAccess   A method for reconstructing sketched polyhedral shapes with rounds and fillets 

      Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford Springer International Publishing AG, Part of Springer Science+Business Media (2010)
      In this paper we present a method for detecting rounds and fillets in engineering sketches and drawings, and automatically generating a 3D model of the corresponding object, with rounds and fillets applied. This method ...
    • openAccess   An Algorithm for Grouping Lines Which Converge to Vanishing Points in Perspective Sketches of Polyhedra 

      Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford; Plumed, Raquel Bart Lamiroy & Jean-Marc Ogier (2014)
      We seek to detect the vanishing points implied by design sketches of engineering products. Adapting previous ap- proaches, developed in computer vision for analysis of vectorised photographic images, is unsatisfactory, as ...
    • openAccess   Features and design intent in engineering sketches 

      Plumed, Raquel; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford; Company, Pedro ©Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg (2013)
      We investigate the problem of determining design intent from engineering sketches: what did the designer have in mind when sketching a component? Specifically, we consider the unidirectional reverse mapping from form ...
    • openAccess   Human perception in segmentation of sketches 

      Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford; Piquer, Ana; Vergara, Margarita; Sánchez-Rubio Ruiz, Jaime Springer Berlin Heidelberg (2010)
      In this paper, we study the segmentation of sketched engineering drawings into a set of straight and curved segments. Our immediate objective is to produce a benchmarking method for segmentation algorithms. The criterion ...
    • openAccess   Implantación de nuevas tecnologías para el desarrollo concurrente de productos 

      Vila, Carlos; Company, Pedro; Galmés, Vanesa Edicions de la Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (2006)
      El presente caso muestra la implantación de las nuevas tecnologías de la información en un entorno de Ingeniería Concurrente para una empresa fabricante de componentes para automoción suministradora de primer nivel. El ...
    • openAccess   Metrics of human perception of vanishing points in perspective sketches 

      Plumed, Raquel; Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford Oliviera, Manuel M.; Skala, Václav (2013)
      This paper describes an experiment aimed at discovering how humans perceive vanishing points depicted in perspective sketches of engineering shapes. The goal is to find criteria and metrics for an algorithmic approach to ...
    • openAccess   Perceiving ribs in single-view wireframe sketches of polyhedral shapes 

      Company, Pedro; Varley, Peter Ashley Clifford; Plumed, Raquel; Martin, Ralph © Springer International Publishing (2012)
      As part of a strategy for creating 3D models of engineering objects from sketched input, we attempt to identify design features, geometrical structures within objects with a functional meaning. Our input is a 2D B-Rep ...
