Abstract :
This paper introduces an alternative 3D Shape Representation: CIRCON (cylindrical image of radial contours), that both enables the compression of the 3D data, making them more manageable, and facilitates the tasks related to surface matching, such as 3D registration and object recognition, by making use of its inherent properties. A 3D vision system has been designed in order to facilitate the generation of this kind of 3D shape representation while the objects are being sensed
