ConTopo: Non-Rigid 3D Object Retrieval using Topological Information guided by Conformal Factors

Abstract

Combining the properties of conformal geometry and graph-based topological information for 3D object retrieval, a non-rigid 3D object descriptor is proposed, which is both robust and efficient in terms of retrieval accuracy and computation speed. In previous works, graph-based methods for non-rigid 3D object retrieval, have shown high discriminative power and robustness, while geometry-based methods, have proven to be tolerant to noise and pose. In this work, we present a 3D object descriptor that combines the above advantages.
