Abstract :
We formulate the problem of detecting reflectional symmetries as the problem of minimising an asymmetric energy term. The local minima of the asymmetric energy correspond to the reflectional symmetric axes of an object. Typical experiments show the correctness and the robustness of the proposed technique
