Abstract
Shape representation is a fundamental and important issue of general vision systems. Generalized cylinders (GCs) have become significant primitives for 3D object representation. An analysis of the properties of GCs is carried out in this paper and useful results concerning the contour generators of SHGC’s have been derived and are discussed. The 2D projected contours are analysed under perspective projection. Right and oblique straight homogeneous generalized cylinders (SHGC’s) with circular and arbitrary cross-section are considered. The characteristics and performance of a preliminary version of an object modelling system are discussed.
