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 …

The development of effective content-based multimedia search systems is an important
research issue due to the growing amount of digital audio-visual information. In the case of …

We present a novel 3D shape descriptor that uses a set of panoramic views of a 3D object
which describe the position and orientation of the object's surface in 3D space. We obtain a …

Large-scale 3D shape retrieval has become an important research direction in content-
based 3D shape retrieval. To promote this research area, two Shape Retrieval Contest …

The explosively increasing 3-D objects make their efficient retrieval technology highly
desired. Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to view-based 3-D object retrieval …

As the number of available 3D models grows, there is an increasing need to index and
retrieve them according to their contents. This paper provides a survey of the up-to-date …

We propose a new method of similarity search for 3D shape models, given an arbitrary 3D
shape as a query. The method features the high search performance enabled in part by our …

In this paper, a retrieval methodology for 3D articulated objects is presented that relies upon
a graph-based object representation. The methodology is composed of a mesh …

We present a novel 3D object retrieval method that relies upon a hybrid descriptor which is
composed of 2D features based on depth buffers and 3D features based on spherical …

In this paper a novel method for 3D content-based search and retrieval is proposed. Guided
by the imperative need for a reliable 3D content based search tool and the very interesting …
