  • Abstract
    We introduce a method for segmenting a shape from an image and simultaneously determining its symmetry axis. The symmetry is used to help the segmentation and in turn the segmentation determines the symmetry. The problem is formulated as one of minimizing a goodness of fitness function and Dijkstra´s algorithm is used to find the global minimum of the cost function. The results are illustrated on real images
