Abstract

Dimensional model fitting to a set of given points is a relevant subject in various disciplines of science and engineering. In this paper, we present a universal, and very efficient, best-fit algorithm for implicit surfaces and plane curves, by which the square sum of the orthogonal error distances of the given points to the model feature will be rotation parameters, and are simultaneously estimated. The form parameters determines the shape of the model feature, and the position/rotation parameters describe the rigid body motion of the model feature. The mathematics frame of the proposed algorithm is applicable to any kind of surface and plane curve.
