Abstract: Blades play an important role in aviation engine, gas turbine and jet engine. Inspecting the blade by optical method is a meaningful work in manufacturing industry. During optical inspecting process, one common problem encountered is that the scanned point cloud is large scale and noisy. In this paper, we present a systematic introduction of simplification, smoothing and parameter extraction with respect to point-sampled blades. First, the moving least square surface is applied to create a geometric deviation, which is used to subdivide and cluster the point cloud. Then, the information entropy in k-neighbourhood is defined to smooth point-sampled surface, meanwhile preserving high curvature feature. Furthermore, the computation method of single/multi section parameters is presented, and test experiments are performed in iCloud3D Blade V1.0. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
