Abstract
A method and an apparatus are disclosed for generating a model of an object from an image of the object. First, an orientation of the object in the image is determined through the generation of, and subsequent evaluation of, at least a portion of a frequency response of the image. Thereafter, the orientation is used to gauge the object. The gauging provides the necessary dimensional information that becomes a part of the geometrical model of the object. An embodiment is disclosed that generates a geometrical model of a leaded object from the image of the leaded object.
