Camber Descriptor for Content-based 3D Model Retrieval

Hong Tu, Guohua Geng

Abstract


Along with advancements in 3D data acquisition technology and computer processing, 3D model retrieval has been one of the most important research fields in multimedia information retrieval. Feature extraction is one of the most critical technologies in content-based 3D model retrieval system. We defined a new local feature descriptor camber that is the complex of Gaussian curvature and mean curvature. As a correction to mean curvature and Gaussian curvature, it can overcome the shortcoming of Gaussian curvature and mean curvature without additional computation. The performance of the proposed feature descriptor is compared to another by precision/recall tests. Generally, result shows that the new feature descriptor introduces improvement in the 3D model retrieval system. When matching global feature descriptor, it will get a better result in the retrieval process.

Keywords

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.
