Abstract

Determining redundant constraints is a critical task for geometric constraint solvers, since it dramatically affects the solution speed, accuracy, and stability. This paper attempts to determine the numerical redundancies of three-dimensional geometric constraint systems via a disturbance method. The constraints are translated into some unified forms and added to a constraint system incrementally. The redundancy of a constraint can then be decided by disturbing its value. We also prove that graph reduction methods can be used to accelerate the determination process.
