Recent approaches [COO15] have shown that augmenting local descriptors with topological information improves the correspondence and segmentation quality. In this paper we build upon the work of Tevs et al. [TBW 11] and Sun and Abidi [SA01] by presenting a surface descriptor which captures both local surface properties and topological features of 3D objects. We present experiments on shape repositories that are provided with ground-truth correspondences (FAUST, SCAPE, TOSCA) which show that this descriptor outperforms current local surface descriptors.I.3.3 [Computer Graphics]Computational Geometry and Object ModelingLine and curve generation Keywordsshape matchingsurface descriptor10.2312/vmv.2016133817-28
