What is MORE ?

The prevailing method to store 3d models as object surface meshes in indexed face lists has the fundamental limitation that information about the geometric nature of the object is lost. Knowledge of object shape, orientation, width, height and depth, about symmetries and redundancies is no longer available and prevent a post-design interpretation and modification process. Unlike a text document which can be modified and extended, a 3d mesh cannot be post-modified efficiently.

The MORE system processes the coordinate and face definition lists and recovers all or most of the lost geometric parameters. A high speed mesh analysis is performed on each independent structure. The system reports the nature of the object shape, object dimension, orientation and provides index lists of stack lines for each structure. This data can be successively used to efficiently post-process and to post-modify or to compact a 3d model and many more.

A research and development time of several years has been spent to create a system with a very good geometry recognition reliability and a very high analysis speed.

Extendibility

The index lists generated by MORE can be the base for a more refined and custom specific object detection.
