Abstract

An orientability measure determines how orientable a shape is; i.e. how reliable an estimate of its orientation is likely to be. This is valuable since many methods for computing orientation fail for certain shapes. In this paper several existing orientability measures are discussed and several new orientability measures are introduced. The measures are compared and tested on synthetic and real data.
