Recognition for Three-Dimensional Shapes from Two-Dimensional Drawings
The ability to interpret and understand solid shapes from such drawings is necessary in many fields including mechanical engineering. There has been previous research on mental rotation and mental cutting concerning this ability. To test this ability, the authors conducted a survey using problems consisting of isometric drawings of shapes consisting of combination of a number of cubes. The survey is conducted by presenting one drawing, and having the subject select the drawing from a group that is interpreted to represent the same shape as the original. A group of 133 third and fourth year undergraduate students were tested for their ability in the interpretation of certain drawings. A number of these students have taken this test in previous years. In this paper, the percentage of subjects answering correctly in each problem, a comparison of average response times for each problem, the distribution of response time for each problem for correct answers, incorrect answers and overall.
