Abstract
Reverse engineering (RE) is generally defined as a process of analyzing an object or existing system (hardware and software) to identify its components and their interrelationships and to investigate how it works to redesign or produce a copy without access to the design from which it was originally produced (Wikipedia, 2005). In areas related to 3-D graphics and modeling, RE technology is used for reconstructing 3-D models of an object in different geometric formats.
