A survey of content based 3D shape retrieval methods

Content Based 3D Shape Retrieval A Survey

Large databases of 3-dimensional (3D) data are becoming available on the Internet, and in various domains such as Computer Aided Design (CAD), Molecular Biology (3D Protein Models), Computer Graphics, Medicine and Archeology to name a few. As the number and variety of the 3D models(3D shapes) continue to grow, there has been an increasing interest in applications to help people search in these ...

Content Based 3D Shape Retrieval

Recent developments in techniques for modeling, digitizing and visualizing 3D shapes has led to an explosion in the number of available 3D models on the Internet and in domain-specific databases. Currently, large archives recording cultural heritage models like the David of Michelangelo [11], and the Minerva of Arezzo [7] are obtained by laser scanning projects. Also archives containing domain-...

Shape Distribution-Based 3D Shape Retrieval Methods: Review and Evaluation

Three-dimensional (3D) models are basis of modern digital manufacturing systems. It has attracted much attention in research and industrial applications to build 3D product models efficiently and cost-effectively. One of promising developments is product models reusing through sharing. The efficient retrieval of 3D product shapes can speed up 3D modeling for product design and manufacturing but...

A comparison of methods for sketch-based 3D shape retrieval

Sketch based 3D shape retrieval has become an important research topic in content based 3D object retrieval. To foster this research area, two Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC) tracks on this topic have been organized by us in 2012 and 2013 based on a small scale and large scale benchmarks, respectively. Six and five (nine in total) distinct sketch based 3D shape retrieval methods have competed e...
