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 …

Three-dimensional shape searching is a problem of current interest in several different
fields. Most techniques have been developed for a particular domain and reduce a shape …

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 …

The topic of the thesis is content-based retrieval of 3D-models by shape-similarity. In our 3D
model retrieval system a model, a polygonal mesh, serves as a query and similar objects are …

We propose a pair of shape features for searching surface-based 3D shape models based
on their shape similarity. Either of the features is computed by first converting an input …

Shape similarity assessment is a fundamental geometric reasoning problem that finds
application in several different product design and manufacturing applications. A …

In this paper, we propose a method for shape-similarity search of 3D polygonal-mesh
models. The system accepts triangular meshes, but tolerates degenerated polygons …

The reuse of existing design models offers great potential in saving resources and
generating an efficient workflow. In order to fully benefit from these advantages, it is …

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 …

In this paper, we propose an algorithm for shape-similarity comparison and retrieval of 3D
shapes defined as polygon soup. One of the issues in comparing 3D shapes is the diversity …
