Tbe two aspects of tbe problem , (i) tbe reconstuction of a 3-D sbape from a given set of contours, and (ii) iinding \"natural\" coordinates on a given surface, are treated by tbe same tbeory. We lirst set a few basic principles tbat sbould guide any shape reconstruction mecbanism, regardless of its physical implementation. Second, we propose a new matbematical procedure tbat camplies witb tbese principles and offers several advantages over tbe existing ad hoc treatments. Some general results are derived from tbis procedure, which conform very well with human visual perception.","doi":null,"url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/194","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/0194.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/194.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/bibtex/194","volume":{"slug":"1985","title":"Proceedings of the Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 1985","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/1985/","year":1985,"location":"Los Angeles, California, USA","dates":"","editors":"Aravind Joshi","isbn":"","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence","doi_prefix":""},"section":"Perception","track":"Perception","number":194,"pages":{"first":969,"last":971},"keywords":[],"videos":[],"references":[],"license_note":"Copyright International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence."}
