      Abstract We present a novel 3D object retrieval method that relies upon a hybrid descriptor which is composed of 2D features based on depth buffers and 3D features based on spherical harmonics. To compensate for rotation, ...
    • Part Analogies in Sets of Objects 

      Shalom, Shy; Shapira, Lior; Shamir, Ariel; Cohen-Or, Daniel (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Shape retrieval can benefit from analogies among similar shapes and parts of different objects. By partitioning an object to meaningful parts and finding analogous parts in other objects, sub-parts and partial match queries ...
    • Isometry-invariant Matching of Point Set Surfaces 

      Ruggeri, Mauro R.; Saupe, Dietmar (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Shape deformations preserving the intrinsic properties of a surface are called isometries. An isometry deforms a surface without tearing or stretching it, and preserves geodesic distances. We present a technique for matching ...

    • A Neurofuzzy Approach to Active Learning based Annotation Propagation for 3D Object Databases 

      Lazaridis, Michalis; Daras, Petros (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Most existing Content-based Information Retrieval (CBIR) systems using semantic annotation, either annotate all the objects in a database (full annotation) or a manually selected subset (partial annotation) in order to ...
    • Characterizing Shape Using Conformal Factors 

      Ben-Chen, Mirela; Gotsman, Craig (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      We present a new 3D shape descriptor based on conformal geometry. Our descriptor is invariant under non-rigid quasi-isometric transformations, such as pose changes of articulated models, and is both compact and efficient ...
    • Markov Random Fields for Improving 3D Mesh Analysis and Segmentation 

      Lavoué, Guillaume; Wolf, Christian (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      Mesh analysis and clustering have became important issues in order to improve the efficiency of common processing operations like compression, watermarking or simplification. In this context we present a new method for ...
    • Face Recognition by SVMs Classification and Manifold Learning of 2D and 3D Radial Geodesic Distances 

      Berretti, Stefano; Bimbo, Alberto Del; Pala, Pietro; Mata, Francisco Josè Silva (The Eurographics Association, 2008)
      An original face recognition approach based on 2D and 3D Radial Geodesic Distances (RGDs), respectively computed on 2D face images and 3D face models, is proposed in this work. In 3D, the RGD of a generic point of a 3D ...
    • SHREC'09 Track: Generic Shape Retrieval 

      Godil, A.; Dutagaci, H.; Akgül, C.; Axenopoulos, A.; Bustos, B.; Chaouch, M.; Daras, P.; Furuya, T.; Kreft, S.; Lian, Z.; Napoléon, T.; Mademlis, A.; Ohbuchi, R.; Rosin, P. L.; Sankur, B.; Schreck, Tobias; Sun, X.; Tezuka, M.; Verroust-Blondet, A.; Walter, M.; Yemez, Y. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      In this paper we present the results of the SHREC'09- Generic Shape Retrieval Contest. The aim of this track was to evaluate the performances of various 3D shape retrieval algorithms on the NIST generic shape benchmark. ...
    • SHREC'09 Track: Querying with Partial Models 

      Dutagaci, H.; Godil, A.; Axenopoulos, A.; Daras, P.; Furuya, T.; Ohbuchi, R. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      The objective of the SHREC'09 Querying with Partial Models is to compare the performances of algorithms that accept a range image as the query and retrieve relevant 3D models from a database. The use of a range scan as the ...
    • Template Based Shape Descriptor 

      Rustamov, Raif M. (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      We introduce a new 3D shape descriptor which maps the surface features onto an arbitrary template surface using mean-value interpolation. A compact numerical shape descriptor is extracted using manifold harmonics on the ...
    • A 3D Shape Benchmark for Retrieval and Automatic Classification of Architectural Data 

      Wessel, Raoul; Blümel, Ina; Klein, Reinhard (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      When drafting new buildings, architects make intensive use of existing 3D models including building elements, furnishing, and environment elements. These models are either directly included into the draft or serve as a ...
    • Multilevel Relevance Feedback for 3D Shape Retrieval 

      Giorgi, Daniela; Frosini, Patrizio; Spagnuolo, Michela; Falcidieno, Bianca (The Eurographics Association, 2009)
      Relevance feedback techniques are expected to play an important role in 3D search engines, as they help to bridge the semantic gap between the user and the system: similarity is a cognitive process, depending on the observer. ...
