Linear fitting of implicit algebraic models to data usually suffers from global stability problems. Complicated object structures can accurately be modeled by closed-bounded surfaces of higher degrees using ridge regression. This paper derives an explicit formula for computing a Euclidean invariant 3D ridge regression matrix and applies it for the global stabilization of a particular linear fitting method. Experiments show that the proposed approach improves global stability of resulting surfaces significantly.
