Object representation with a single continuous formula
David Duncan · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1990
The possibility of representing the two-dimensional (2D) orthogonal image of an arbitrary 3D object from any viewpoint and orientation is established. The novelty of the representation is that it consists of a single continuous analytic formula. This allows for the complete symbolic representation of an object and derivative features, and may aid in object recognition and the establishment of object recognition standards.
