518 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE, VOL. PAMI-6, NO. 4, JULY 1984 V. CONCLUSION A simple algorithm for matching three-dimensional objects is proposed. It is based upon the use of the observed silhouettes of the unknown object. Experiments conducted show that as silhouettes are added to modify the three-dimensional struc- ture of the unknown object, a consistent matching results ., ~ from moments and Fourier transform coefficients. The speed of convergence depends on the amount of information supplied by the sequence of silhouettes, since small modification to the three-dimensional structure is made if a silhouette with little new information is added. From the experiments above, it is clear that for man-made objects with clearly defined faces and edges, a fast convergence is achie
