Range image segmentation using the Fourier transform
Eric Paquet · Optical Engineering · 1993
We introduce a new approach for the segmentation of planes and quadrics of a 3-D range image using the Fourier transform of the phase image. We show how it is possible to get a spectrum that contains the planes only and another one that contains the quadrics only. We determine the invariant properties of these spectra and show how our method is suitable for real-time applications.
