A Survey Of Free-Form Object Representation and Recognition Techniques

Richard J. Campbell, Patrick J. Flynn
2001 Computer Vision and Image Understanding  
Advances in computer speed, memory capacity and hardware graphics acceleration have made the interactive manipulation and visualization of complex, detailed (and therefore large) three-dimensional models feasible. These models are painstakingly designed either through an elaborate CAD process or reverse engineered from sculpted prototypes using modern scanning technologies and integration methods. The availability of detailed data describing the shape of an object offers the computer vision
