Abstract
Based on a simple mathematical property, a simple method is proposed f or detecting the number of folds n contained in a given rotationally s ymmetric shape. Skills to overcome the difficulty caused by sampling a nd rounding errors are also discussed. Experimental results are includ ed to show the feasibility of this new method. As for shape orientatio n, it is just a by-product of the proposed method because no extra com putation load is needed to get the orientation.
