Abstract
A system and method for automatically modeling symmetry planes and principal orientations from three dimensional (“3D”) segments. The system comprises receiving a set of 3D segments representing a structure from the input source, wherein the set of 3D segments comprises one or more segment pairs. The system then generates symmetry plane data by calculating a symmetry plane for each of the one or more segment pairs. Next, the system accumulates the symmetry plane data in a Hough space. Lastly, the system constructs one or more Hough space symmetry planes from the symmetry plane data and calculates a principal orientation of the structure.
