Determining Object Attitude from Extended Gaussian Images
Abstract
The Extended Gaussian Image (EGI) of an object records the variation of surface area with surface orientation, uniquely representing convex objects. The inversion prob lem for polyhedra (from an EGI to a description in terms of vertices and faces) has been solved, by an iterative al gorithm [Little, 1983]. The algorithm depends upon the mixed volume, a geometric construction linking the areas and positions of the faces of an object. A robust method for determining object attitude from the EGI is developed here, using this construction. Experiments show the method's insensitivity to small attitude differences. 1
