Computer analysis of scenes with curved objects
Ramesh Chandra Jain, J.K. Aggarwal · Proceedings of the IEEE · 1979
Most research efforts in scene analysis have concentrated on the analysis of block-world scenes. Having developed a good understanding of this limited world of computer vision, researchers are now trying to make computers see curved objects also. This paper presents an overview of the techniques developed for segmentation, representation, and recognition of curved objects in two-dimensional images and in three-dimensional scenes. The possible future directions of research are also discussed.
