Abstract
A 3-D surface classification method based on the quadric surface
model is described. This technique does not require the points from the
surface to lie on a grid. A sample of surface points is classified as
planar or nonplanar through two hypothesis tests. If the sample is
nonplanar, curvature features are evaluated at each point to classify
the sample as spherical, cylindrical, or conical. A nonlinear
optimization technique is then used to refine the parameters (e.g.
radius, orientation) of the resulting surface type
