Abstract
In this paper we propose a methodology to measure the optimality of edge detection algorithms for range images. Our optimality analysis is based on the potential of an edge detection algorithm to recover intrinsic surface information. We also propose an algorithm for actually performing the recovery. An optimality analysis on four selected edge detection algorithms demonstrate the usefulness of our approach.
