Recovering the scaling function of a SHGC from a single perspective view

An algorithm for recovering the scaling function of a straight homogeneous generalized cylinder (SHGC) from an image contour is presented. Both location and reference cross section are supposed known. Perspective view assumption and geometric properties of SHGCs are used to derive the method. No additional constraints have been imposed on the object shape. The method has been tested on synthetic image, with promising results.<
