چکیده

We study the 3D shape similarity between closed surfaces. We represent a curved or polyhedral 3D object of genus zero using a mesh representation that has nearly uniform distribution with known connectivity among mesh nodes. We define a shape similarity metric based on the L2 distance between the local curvature distributions over the mesh representations of the two objects. For both convex and concave objects, the shape metric can be computed in time O(n2), where n is the number of tessellation of sphere or the number of meshes which approximate the surface. Experiments show that our method produces good shape similarity measurements.

A Partial Shape Matching Method for 3d Model Databases

The use of 3D models is gaining popularity since they are important for computer graphics applications. Recently, similarity retrieval techniques for 3D models have been investigated intensively for handling databases of 3D models systematically. The techniques extract shape descriptors from 3D models and use these descriptors for indices for comparing shape similarities. Various shape descript...

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...

3D Shape Matching with 3D Shape Contexts

Content based 3D shape retrieval for broad domains like the World Wide Web has recently gained considerable attention in Computer Graphics community. One of the main challenges in this context is the mapping of 3D objects into compact canonical representations referred to as descriptors or feature vector, which serve as search keys during the retrieval process. The descriptors should have certa...

Quantifying 3D Shape Similarity Using Maps: Recent Trends, Applications and Perspectives

Shape similarity is an acute issue in Computer Vision and Computer Graphics that involves many aspects of human perception of the real world, including judged and perceived similarity concepts, deterministic and probabilistic decisions and their formalization. 3D models carry multiple information with them (e.g., geometry, topology, texture, time evolution, appearance), which can be thought as ...

Shape-Similarity Search of Three-Dimensional Models Based on Subjective Measures

As popularity of three-dimensional (3D) models increase, interests in shape-similarity search of 3D models have increased. Except for a few, most of the methods for 3D shape similarity search published so far does not consider human subjective measures. In this paper, we propose a new shape-similarity search method that combines a 3D shape feature that is independent of the model pose and size ...
