Dear, I am trying to fit cylinders to 3D point clouds, that are range images and so show the tube structure only from one side. The projected points in 2D give typically half-circles, if the right projection is found. Is there a good way in Mathematica to solve this problem? I heard that there must exist a package for this, so if anybody knows something for Mathematica, I would be very grateful for a hint. Thanks in advance, Stefan Fleck
