Abstract— The automatic reconstruction of a 3D object from a sketch has been very crucial research area in Computer- Aided Design and Computer Vision since decades. Conventionally most of proposed methods have applied the technique of line labelling. However, generally line labeling technique could be difficult for the reconstruction when input sketches include many curves. In this paper, a method for the reconstruction of mechanical parts by extracting features repeatedly is proposed. In the method, the sketches of cubes, cylinders, holes and fillets are applied as features. Four examples that are difficult for line labelling technique are indicated in this paper.
