Title Apparent symmetries in range data
Date 1987
Description A procedure for extracting symmetrical features from the output of a range scanner is described which is insensitive to sensor noise and robust with respect to object surface complexity. The acquisition of symmetry descriptors for rigid bodies from a range image was in this case motivated by the need to direct pre-grasp configurations in dextrous manipulation systems. However, object symmetries are powerful features for object identification/matching and correspond explicitly to useful geometric object models such as generalized cylinder representations?.
