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 …

Abstract 3D object recognition and pattern recognition are active and fast-growing research
areas in the field of computer vision. It is mandatory to define the pattern class, feature …

3D object recognition in cluttered scenes is a rapidly growing research area. Based on the
used types of features, 3D object recognition methods can broadly be divided into two …

We review methods designed to compute correspondences between geometric shapes
represented by triangle meshes, contours or point sets. This survey is motivated in part by …

View-based 3-D object retrieval and recognition has become popular in practice, eg, in
computer aided design. It is difficult to precisely estimate the distance between two objects …

This paper discusses certain modifications of the ideas concerning the Gromov–Hausdorff
distance which have the goal of modeling and tackling the practical problems of object …

The computer vision and pattern recognition communities have recently witnessed a surge
of feature-based methods in object recognition and image retrieval applications. These …

In this paper we revisit local feature detectors/descriptors developed for 2D images and
extend them to the more general framework of scalar fields defined on 2D manifolds. We …

Three-dimensional shape retrieval is a problem of current interest in several different fields,
especially in the mechanical engineering domain. There exists a large body of work in …

In the last decades, baggage inspection based on X-ray imaging has been established to
protect environments in which access control is of vital significance. In several public …
