Several descriptors have been proposed in the past for 3D shape analysis, yet none of them
achieves best performance on all shape classes. In this paper we propose a novel method …

Background With the rapid development of Web3D technologies, the online Web3D
visualization, particularly for complex models or scenes, has been in a great demand. Owing …

As large public repositories of 3D shapes continue to grow, the amount of shape variability
in such collections also increases, both in terms of the number of different classes of shapes …

Shape is an important physical property of natural and manmade 3D objects that
characterizes their external appearances. Understanding differences between shapes and …

We address content-based retrieval of complete 3D object models by a probabilistic
generative description of local shape properties. The proposed shape description framework …

This paper propose a novel framework for a data driven grasp planner that indexes partial
sensor data into a database of 3D models with known grasps and transfers grasps from …

Abstract Characterization and identification of similar tertiary structure of proteins provides
rich information for investigating function and evolution. The importance of structure …

We address the problem of automatic recognition of functional parts of man-made 3D
shapes in the presence of significant geometric and topological variations. We observe that …

This paper presents a novel 3D shape retrieval method, which uses Bag-of-Features and an
efficient multi-view shape matching scheme. In our approach, a properly normalized object …

Statistical analysis of shapes of 3D objects is an important problem with a wide range of
applications. This analysis is difficult for many reasons, including the fact that objects differ in …
