Abstract

See full text

A method of correlating a representation of a body to a three dimensional representation of the body. A representation (such as a two dimensional image) of a body is acquired and a fitness function is generated for it. A two dimensional outline of the three dimensional representation of the body is then generated for a number of sets of three dimensional position and orientation values. These are compared to the fitness function to generate measures of fit for each set of three dimensional position and orientation values. New sets of position and orientation values are then bred using a genetic algorithm or other breeding algorithm. The method is repeated until the measure of fit converges to an acceptable solution. There is also disclosed a system for performing the method.
