Curvature maps for 3D CBR
نویسندگان
چکیده
Along with images and videos, 3D models have recently gained increasing attention for a number of reasons: advancements in 3D hardware and software technologies, their ever decreasing prices and increasing availability, affordable 3D authoring tools, and the establishment of open standards for 3D data interchange. In this paper we address the problem of content-based retrieval of 3D models. The solution we present here relies on the description of each model by means a curvature map: After an initial pre-processing of the model, differential properties of points on the surface of the 3D object are evaluated; the model surface is then warped into an ellipsoid, and is mapped onto a 2D image retaining curvature information of the original model. Matching is performed by comparing the 2D map of the query against the 2D maps of the database models. This method has been implemented in a prototype system supporting retrieval by content of 3D objects through a web interface.

SURANJAN GANGULY et al.: 3D FACE RECOGNITION FROM RANGE IMAGES BASED ON CURVATURE ANALYSIS
In this paper, we present a novel approach for three-dimensional face recognition by extracting the curvature maps from range images. There are four types of curvature maps: Gaussian, Mean, Maximum and Minimum curvature maps. These curvature maps are used as a feature for 3D face recognition purpose. The dimension of these feature vectors is reduced using Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) tech...
متن کاملLandforms identification using neural network-self organizing map and SRTM data
During an 11 days mission in February 2000 the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected data over 80% of the Earth's land surface, for all areas between 60 degrees N and 56 degrees S latitude. Since SRTM data became available, many studies utilized them for application in topography and morphometric landscape analysis. Exploiting SRTM data for recognition and extraction of topographic ...
متن کاملNon-linear ergodic theorems in complete non-positive curvature metric spaces
Hadamard (or complete $CAT(0)$) spaces are complete, non-positive curvature, metric spaces. Here, we prove a nonlinear ergodic theorem for continuous non-expansive semigroup in these spaces as well as a strong convergence theorem for the commutative case. Our results extend the standard non-linear ergodic theorems for non-expansive maps on real Hilbert spaces, to non-expansive maps on Ha...
متن کاملTerrain Generalization with Multi-scale Pyramids Constrained by Curvature
This paper presents a method for terrain generalization using Laplacian pyramids. The method pre-processes digital terrain for generating cartographically generalized 3D maps. Map authors can attenuated or amplify selected frequency bands of the terrain with a graphical interface imitating an audio equalizer. Ridge lines and valley lines are localized by curvature indices, and their characteris...
متن کاملCBR anisotropy and the running of the scalar spectral index.
Accurate (∼ 1%) predictions for the anisotropy of the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR) are essential for using future high-resolution (∼ 1) CBR maps to test cosmological models. In many inflationary models the variation (“running”) of the spectral index of the spectrum of density perturbations is a significant effect and leads to changes of around 1% to 10% in the CBR power spectrum. We propos...
