Abstract

In this paper we describe an algebraic technique for the identification of the symmetry axes of a perspectively projected symmetrical plane curve. The procedure requires a limited amount of calculations and allows a highly accurate recognition of the searched symmetry axes even when the considered curve is partially occluded or not perfectly segmented.
