Abstract
This paper explores the combinatorial aspects of symmetric and anti-symmetric forms represented in tensor algebra. The development of geometric perspective gained from tensor algebra has resulted in the discovery of a novel projection operator for the Chow form of a curve in ℙ3 with applications to computer vision.
