Reconstructing an Ellipsoid from its Limbs' Projections
Mohamed Ali Said · 2004
In this paper it is shown thatthe projectionofan ellipsoid's limb in a direction perpendicular to a principal plane is an ellipse in that plane. Then a method for reconstructing an ellipsoid from three projections of its limbs on the three principal planes is introduced. This supports the work of reconstructing a shape from its projections, views, or images which is of special interest in appli- cationareaslikepatternrecognition,computervision, andmedicalimaging.
