  text: Automatic detection of symmetries, regularity, and repetitive structures in
    3D geometry is a fundamental problem in shape analysis and pattern recognition
    with applications in computer vision and graphics. Especially challenging is to
    detect intrinsic regularity, where the repetitions are on an intrinsic grid, without
    any apparent Euclidean pattern to describe the shape, but rising out of (near)
    isometric deformation of the underlying surface. In this paper, we employ multidimensional
    scaling to reduce the problem of intrinsic structure detection to a simpler problem
    of 2D grid detection. Potential 2D grids are then identified using an autocorrelation
    analysis, refined using local fitting, validated, and finally projected back to
    the spatial domain. We test the detection algorithm on a variety of scanned plaster
    models in presence of imperfections like missing data, noise and outliers. We
    also present a range of applications including scan completion, shape editing,
    super-resolution, and structural correspondence.
