Abstract During the past two decades, computational design and redesign activities have been extensively studied and several CAD implementations have been developed. However, the traditional methods of constructing models from large objects have disadvantages: The process is particularly labor-intensive - surveying the site, digitizing existing drawings and modifying existing CAD data, if available. There is no effective process for the rapid generation of computer models from existing large objects, so engineers use contact probe or laser scanning systems to perform such work, However, these machines are not adequate for large objects such as buildings, besides being time-consuming and expensive. These limitations can be overcome through the replication of the human vision process into a computer program, which integrates both the human vision process and the comparable performance of computers operating similarly to a biological system, through a process called biomimetics.
