Abstract
In this work we present a method for the extraction of superquadratic shape and position parameters from depth maps. The method, which is non-iterative, makes use of the information obtained from the 3-D silhouette of the objects in order to estimate shape parameters and centre position. We discuss the applicability conditions and propose a measure of the reliability of the obtained estimation. Some experimental results obtained from synthetically realised scenes are presented.
