Symmetry is a crucial dimension which aids the visual system, human as well as artificial, to organize its environment and to recognize forms and objects. In humans, detection of symmetry, especially bilateral and rotational, is considered to be a primary factor for discovering and interacting with the surrounding environment. We report an enhanced version of the Kondra and Petrosino symmetry detection algorithm, already reported at the "Symmetry Detection from Real World Images" competition at IEEE CVPR2011. The paper includes experimental results achieved by the reflection and rotation symmetry detection algorithm on the datasets made available for the 2013 Symmetry Detection from Real World Images competition
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
