Abstract
We analyze the properties of straight homogeneous generalized
cylinders (SHGCs) and constant cross section generalized cylinders
(CGCs), and derive the types of symmetries that the limb boundaries and
cross sections of these objects produce on the image plane. The
constraints on the 3D shape of the objects are formulated based on the
symmetries and from the geometry of the projection models. Finally, the
methods that recover the 3D shape from the image of their contours are
discussed and recovered surfaces are shown for sample objects
