Shape-Similarity Comparison of 3D Models Using Alpha Shapes
As the number of in-house and public-domain 3D shape models increase, importance of shape-similarity based search and retrieval for 3D shapes models has increased rapidly. In this paper, we describe our preliminary findings in applying a multiresolution analysis technique to the task of shape similarity comparison of polygon soup models. We used the 3D alpha shapes algorithm to create a multire...
متن کاملShape-Similarity Comparison of Polygon-soup Models Using 3D Alpha Shapes
We have previously published a multiresolution approach for the shape similarity comparison of polygon soup 3D models. The approach combined a single-resolution shape feature with a multiresolution representation produced by using the 3D alpha shapes algorithm of Edelsbrunner for the shape similarity comparison. The study evaluated the efficacy of the multiresolution shape comparison approach b...
متن کاملDistributed Shape Analysis using Alpha and Delaunay-Čech shapes
Alpha shapes are well known geometric objects which generalize the idea of a convex hull, and provide a good definition for the shape of a given point set V . For a given point set V in 2 or 3 dimensions, we show that the knowledge of pairwise distances between pairs of points which are closer than a certain distance is sufficient to compute the alpha shape. We also show that the alpha shapes c...
متن کاملShape Calculus A spatial calculus for 3D colliding shapes
We present a bio-inspired calculus for describing 3D shapes moving in a space. A shapeforms a 3D process when combined with a behaviour. Behaviours are specified with a timedCCS-like process algebra using a notion of channel that models naturally binding sites on thesurface of shapes. Processes can represent molecules or other mobile objects. The calculusembeds collision det...
متن کاملUrban habitat complexity affects species richness but not environmental filtering of morphologically-diverse ants
Habitat complexity is a major determinant of structure and diversity of ant assemblages. Following the size-grain hypothesis, smaller ant species are likely to be advantaged in more complex habitats compared to larger species. Habitat complexity can act as an environmental filter based on species size and morphological traits, therefore affecting the overall structure and diversity of ant assem...
