Abstract
Several methods for finding the axis of a helix are presented and compared. The most accurate determines the helix axis as the axis of rotation necessary to map point i to point i + 1 of the helix. The fastest method calculates the helix axis as the best-fit line through the coordinates by a three-dimensional parametric linear least-squares algorithm, taking advantage of the sequential nature of the data.Mesh:
