FReg

 in Beautification  tagged code

FReg is the implementation of an algorithm to detect approximate symmetries of point sets and B-rep models. It has been developed as part of the Beautification of reverse engineered geometric models project. The algorithm has been implemented originally by B. I. Mills. I am currently maintaining the sources.

The main algorithm has been implemented. Version 0.2 is currently used to test the implementation in detail. A stable version 1.0 will be based on it. The program is released under the GNU General Public License. Comments, bug reports, improvements, etc. should be send to frank@langbein.org.
