An Extremum Principle for Shape from Contour

An extremum principle is developed that determines three-dimensional surface orientation from a two-dimensional contour. The principle maximizes the ratio of the area to the square of the perimeter, a measure of the compactness or symmetry of the three-dimensional surface. The principle interpr...
