Browsing Shape Collections
نویسنده
چکیده
Large collections of shapes are becoming freely available, and we will soon need tools that quickly give an overview of the contents of a shape database. We present a browsing tool that produces a hierarchical, cluster-based overview of a shape collection, and allows users to zoom in on individual clusters to get more detailed views. Our browsing interface is particularly effective for analyzing collections of specific types of shapes. We are also excited about the potential of this interface to quickly spot unintuitive outliers, which, in turn can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular shape descriptor function.
