Abstract
In this paper we discuss the implementation of methods to derive 3D Symmetry Sets, given a parameterized shape, as well as an unorganized point cloud. It presents a geometric method to derive the Symmetry Set, that is an extension of the one given in [6]. Although the mathematics is a simple extension of the 2D case, the visualization, numerical computations and their stability are much more complicated. An example is given by means of an ellipsoid. In this example the Symmetry Set can be computed exactly and results can be compared to the ground truth.
