Relaxation Based Modeling and Recognition of 3D Surfaces from Range Data

Modeling and recognition of 3D objects by surface is an important problem in machine vision. Given a large number of range data points of an object surface, we present a relaxation based technique to construct a piecewise triangular patch model using a small number of knot points. We also describe how the model can be used for extracting surface features and for recognizing the object surface.
