This thesis presents a new approach-GICCA (Gaussian Image Combining Cur-vature and Characteristics-Array) to the representation and recognition of 3-D free-form rigid objects using range images. The approach can handle situations when (a) the objects may have arbitrary shapes or forms, (b) objects m...
