Improving Second-order Surface Estimation

The paper proposes a reliable method for estimating second-order surfaces from 3D range data in the framework of object recognition and localization or object modelling. Instead of estimating such surface individually the approach ts all the surfaces captured in the scene together, taking into account the geometric relationships between them and their speci c characteristics. The technique is compared with other methods through experiments performed on real objects and demonstrates that the use of constrained relationships improves shape estimates.
