3D Pottery Shape Similarity Matching Based on Digital Signatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pottery is considered as one of the most representative categories of artifacts in the cultural heritage domain. Nowadays, several 3D digitized replicas are publicly available over the Web. The content richness of 3D pottery is of great importance in the archaeological research domain. This information can be used by special software tools that will provide the archaeologist with automated shape matching mechanisms that take under consideration the 3D morphological characteristics. In this work, we present a digital signature that can be used for pottery shape matching. The signature carries information related to the 3D morphology of a vessel and its extraction is based on a mesh preprocessing procedure. We have implemented a software tool that extracts the proposed signature and we performed initial tests on shape matching using a 3D pottery database composed by both modeled and digitized 3D models.

Partial 3D Object Retrieval combining Local Shape Descriptors with Global Fisher Vectors
This work introduces a partial 3D object retrieval method, applicable on both meshes and point clouds, which is based on a hybrid shape matching scheme combining local shape descriptors with global Fisher vectors. The differential fast point feature histogram (dFPFH) is defined so as to extend the well-known FPFH descriptor in order to capture local geometry transitions. Local shape similarity ...
