A Partial Shape Matching Method for 3D Model Databases

The use of 3D models is gaining wide popularity since they are very important for graphics in various software applications, virtual reality and web3D. Recently, similarity search techniques for 3D models have been investigated intensively to retrieve 3D models from the Internet. Most similarity search techniques are suited for comparing each individual 3D model from databases. However, our similarity search techniques can compare not only each individual 3D model, but also similar portions of 3D models. Using our technique, each 3D model is divided into a huge number of pieces, and shape descriptors are extracted from these pieces to compare similarities.
