Estimation of Folding Operations Using Silhouette Model
Yasuhiro Kinoshita, Toyohide Watanabe · 2009
In order to recognize the state of origami, there are only techniques which use special devices or require much time. In this paper, we focus on a folding operation that user applied, from which the state of origami can be understood. We propose the method of estimating the folding operation by using one camera. The folding operation can be estimated by comparing origami shapes before and after a fold- ing operation. We introduce a silhouette model to represent the shape of an origami. Comparing the sil- houette model with the shape of origami in a camera image, the folding operation can be estimated. Our method can estimate the folding operation at high speed.
