Abstract
Described is a computer-implemented method for recognizing the geometry of a portion of an object in a digital representation of the object having a plurality of image points representing at least one material interface of the object. The method comprises determining and displaying the object representation, receiving a user input specifying a first position in the object representation as a starting point, determining a first set of image points in the vicinity of the starting point representing the geometry of the portion of the starting point, determining a checking geometry on the basis of the first set of image points by adapting at least one geometry element to the first set of image points, determining a second set of image points in the vicinity of the starting point representing the geometry of the portion of the checking geometry, inserting the second set of image points into and displaying a target set of image points.
