SHREC'10 Track: Feature Detection and Description

Abstract

Feature-based approaches have recently become very popular in computer vision and image analysis applications, and are becoming a promising direction in shape retrieval. The SHREC'10 feature detection and description benchmark simulates the feature detection and description stages of feature-based shape retrieval algorithms. The benchmark tests the performance of shape feature detectors and descriptors under a wide variety of transformations. The benchmark allows evaluating how algorithms cope with certain classes of transformations and strength of the transformations that can be dealt with. The present paper is a report of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest 2010 (SHREC'10) feature detection and description benchmark results.
