In this article we discuss the 2D–3D pose estimation problem of 3D free‐form contours. We observe objects of any 3D shape in an image of a calibrated camera. Pose estimation means estimating the relative position and orientation of the 3D object to the reference camera system. While cycloidal curves are derived as orbits of coupled twist transformations, we apply a spectral domain representation of 3D contours as an extension of cycloidal curves. Their Fourier descriptors are also related to twist representations. A twist is an element of
