In this paper, we describe a method of shape-based 3D model retrieval that employs a set of 3D, local, multi-scale features extracted from a voxel representation of a 3D model to be compared. The method first convert a surface based 3D model into a voxel model. Then, a novel 3D extension of the popular 2D image feature, the Scale Invariant Feature Transform by David Lowe, is applied to extract ...
