Definition

Content based 3D shape retrieval systems retrieve similar 3D objects based on a given query object.

Introduction

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-specific databases. Currently, large archives recording cultural heritage models like the David of Michelangelo [1], and the Minerva of Arezzo [2] are obtained by laser scanning projects. Also archives containing domain-specific shape models are now accessible on the Internet. Examples are the National Design Repository, an online repository of CAD models, and the Protein Data Bank, an online archive of structural data of biological macromolecules. These developments have led to the design of 3D shape retrieval systems that, given a query object, retrieve similar 3D objects. In visualization, 3D shapes are often represented as a surface, in...
