Abstract

We address the problem of computing the aspect graph of a polyhedral object observed by an orthographic camera with limited spatial resolution such that two image points separated by a distance smaller than a preset threshold cannot be resolved. Under this model views that would differ under normal orthographic projection may become equivalent while accidental views may occur over finite areas of the view space. We present a catalogue of visual events for polyhedral objects and give an algorithm for computing the aspect graph and enumerating all qualitatively different aspects. The algorithm has been fully implemented and results are presented.
