Abstract
We assume the presence of mirror symmetry in the viewed scene. In this scene we consider planar point sets and their mirror reflections. We observe the existence of a homology that maps the image of such a planar point set to the image of its mirror reflection. We show how to compute the vertex and the axis of this homology. Finally, the homology is used to reduce image noise by “symmetrization”.
This project was partially supported by a BOF-funds of the University of Antwerp.
