Spherical Harmonics and Distance Transform for Image Representation and Retrieval
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we have proposed a method for 2D image retrieval based on object shapes. The method relies on transforming the 2D images into 3D space based on distance transform. Spherical harmonics are obtained for the 3D data and used as descriptors for the underlying 2D images. The proposed method is compared against two existing methods which use spherical harmonics for shape based retrieval of images. MPEG-7 Still Images Content Set is used for performing experiments; this dataset consists of 3621 still images. Experimental results show that the performance of the proposed descriptors is significantly better than other methods in the same category.

Discriminative Spherical Wavelet Features for Content-Based 3D Model Retrieval
The description of 3D shapes using features that possess descriptive power and are invariant under similarity transformations is one of the most challenging issues in contentbased 3D model retrieval. Spherical harmonics-based descriptors have been proposed for obtaining rotation invariant representations. However, spherical harmonic analysis is based on a latitude-longitude parameterization of ...
متن کاملFrequency-Based Representation of 3D Models using Spherical Harmonics
3D meshes are the most common representation of 3D models. However, surfaces represented by 3D meshes may contain noise or some unrequired details. Multiresolution representations and filtering techniques are very useful in this case. In this paper, we propose a new and compact representation for the surface of a general 3D mesh using the spherical harmonics. This representation can be useful i...
