A Complete Content-based 3D Shape Retrieval System Using Deep Learning
Abstract
This work addresses the problem of content-based 3D shape retrieval. Despite the variety of approaches proposed in the literature, the challenge that still lies ahead is to design a method that allows large-scale retrieval and respects relevance. In this paper, we offer a complete system that takes full advantage of deep learning. Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for shape indexing, our key idea is to consider the final output (softmax layer) of a well-trained model as a given 3D object’s descriptor. This solution is employed not only to improve relevance but also to accelerate the shape matching process. In addition to serving as the search key, the considered descriptor is used to predict the models` list to match. Hence, this will avoid a sequential and systematic comparison with all the 3D models in the database. To evaluate our approach with state-of-the-art methods, we use the SHREC`17 event specifications and ShapeNetCore subset data. We demonstrate that the proposed shape indexing technique improves the relevance and accelerates the
retrieval process significantly.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:
We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
