Abstract

The estimation of the pose of an object is a frequent requirement in computer vision tasks. This paper outlines a method for estimating the pose of an object having a plane of bilateral symmetry but of otherwise unknown shape. The method can operate with a set of 3D range data suffering from self-occlusion, as is obtained from a single viewpoint.
