Symmetry detection is important in the area of computer vision. A 3-D symmetry
detection algorithm is presented in this correspondence. The symmetry detection problem is
converted to the correlation of the Gaussian image. Once the Gaussian image of the object
has been obtained, the algorithm is independent of the input format. The algorithm can
handle different kinds of images or objects. Simulated and real images have been tested in
a variety of formats, and the results show that the symmetry can be determined using the
Gaussian image |
