Abstract

Accurate and reliable Area deviation factor (threshold) is one of the decisive factors in hybrid mesh segmentation. Inadequate threshold leads to under-segmentation or over-segmentation. Setting the optimal threshold is a difficult task for a layman. This proposed method, automatically predicts the threshold using artificial neural networks (ANN). ANN predicts the threshold by considering mesh quality of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) mesh model as input feature vectors. Extensive testing on benchmark test cases validates ANN prediction model, and based on Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation (LM-BP) improves the accuracy and stability of prediction. The efficacy of the approach is quantified by measuring coverage. The ANN predicts the threshold elegantly using LM-BP algorithm with coverage for hybrid mesh segmentation greater than 95%. The novelty of the proposed method lies in the “mesh quality”-based threshold prediction through ANN. The predicted threshold finds application in automatic feature recognition from CAD mesh model using hybrid mesh segmentation.
