Abstract
Translational symmetry provides a powerful constraint that enables recognition of three-dimensional (3D) objects from a single view. Under ideal conditions, affine invariants of 3D points reconstructed from corresponding points would serve as accurate indices for object recognition. In real images, however, inaccurate 2D coordinates of corresponding points can lead to erroneous invariants. In this paper, we investigate the effects of such errors on the 3D invariants, and discuss some approaches to successful indexing in the presence of these errors.
