This paper describes a technique for analyzing a shape with potential symmetry which includes approximate symmetry and original symmetry. A technique is proposed for identifying a symmetry axis of a shape with potential axial symmetry by searching for the largest symmetric subset of the shape. It is applied to the axial detection and asymmetry evaluation of Moire topographic images of hmnan backs to automate spinal deformity inspection. Some experimental results are shown and discussion is given.
