ABSTRACT:
A method compares point data to detailed CAD models of known targets. The method includes the acts of receiving a CAD model space, storing the received CAD model space in a three-dimensional voxel array, computing, for each voxel in the array, a distance to a closest surface facet, and storing information in a hybrid PolyVox file having both voxel and polygonal representations of the point data stored therein. The method uses an information processing system such as a microprocessor powered computer. The method can also use a software product executed by a programmable general purpose computer, a set of machine executable instructions embedded in a semiconductor memory, or a special-purpose processing device or application-specific integrated circuit.
