Abstract
This chapter will define the concept of reverse engineering systems that are typically utilized in design and manufacturing environments. We will also develop a taxonomy of reverse engineering systems. Differences between contact and non-contact methods for reverse engineering will be detailed. Commonly used non-contact systems, including active and passive systems, will be detailed. Our focus will be on techniques such as laser scanning and 3D cameras.
