Geometric Primitive Fitting

Fitting simple geometric shapes (planes, spheres, cylinders, boxes) to point cloud data using RANSAC or least-squares methods. Plane fitting with RANSAC is used for table detection and ground plane estimation in robot navigation. Cylinder fitting is used for pipe localization in inspection robots. Primitives provide compact, interpretable scene representations.
