To recognize three-dimensional objects bounded by smooth curved surfaces from monocular image contours, viewpoint-dependent image features must be related to object geometry. Contour bitangents and inflections along with associated parallel tangents points are the projection of surface points that lie on the occluding contour for a five-parameter family of scaled orthographic projection viewpoints. An invariant representation can be computed from these image features and seen for modeling and recognizing objects. Modeling is achieved by moving an object in front of a camera to obtain a curve of possible invariants. The relative camera-object motion is not required, and 3D models are not utilized. At recognition time, invariants computed from a single image are used to index the model database. Using the matched features, independent qualitative and quantitative verification procedures eliminate potential false matches. Examples from an implementation are presented.<>
