Abstract
This paper proposes a 3D mesh abstraction framework that is capable of segmenting a 3D mesh into specific parts called “saliency regions” based on a saliency computation process, by which the intrinsic pattern of the 3D mesh is promisingly able to be identified. It is then potential to extract effective feature representations from saliency regions for the purpose of 3D mesh retrieval. The process of searching saliency regions is a combination of vertex saliency computation and face saliency computation. Afterwards, a simple selection strategy is adopted to determine the final partition of saliency regions. Experimental results are also provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed framework.
