Superquadrics is a mathematical modeling technique for objects.
Superquadratics are a set of parametric geometrical shapes which are useful for modeling an object, it allows robust recovery data for reconstructing the object. This technique is important because it has a compact representation.
This technique has several problems for complex natural objects like animal bodies.
Important applications of superquadratics are object recognition and computer modelling.
