Automatic reconstruction of broken 3-D surface objects

Document Reconstruction Based on Feature Matching

“…Uluk and Toroslu [10] search all pairs of pieces and the best match is selected and merged to form a new piece. The algorithm is repeated until there is only one piece left.…”

A global approach to automatic solution of jigsaw puzzles

“…Although numerous papers have been written on this subject since then [1,6,9,15,18,20], there are still no published algorithms that can solve large puzzles reliably and efficiently. In this paper we introduce a few new ideas that extend the reach of what can be done to a wider class of puzzles and to puzzles with more pieces.…”

On 3D mosaicing of rotationally symmetric ceramic fragments

“…Figure 1b illustrates manually identified, matching fragments. More generally mosaicing can be seen as a special case of object recognition by approximate outline matching: The specific problem of identifying adjacent ceramic fragments by matching the shapes of their outlines was considered bÿ Uçoluk and Toroslu [13], Hori et. al.…”

“…present a semi-automatic reconstruction of archaeological finds [10]. We observe a main focus on the analysis of the outline of the break curve: 2D outline matching is most common [8,4,5,1,6], but work on 3D outline matching exist [13]. Surface matching of fractured surfaces is proposed in [10].…”
