Given a family of curves or surfaces an important problem is that of finding a member of the family which gives a best fit to \(m\) given data points. The criterion used is orthogonal distance regression where the sum of squares of orthogonal distances from the data points to the surface is minimized. The paper proposes a unified framework for recent methods for this problem and makes some comparisons.
