dc.description.abstractWith the development of modern 3D modelling and digitizing tools, more and more models have been created recently, which leads to the necessity of the technique of 3D model retrieval system. Our 3D model search engine has been designed with the goal to meet entertaining, industrial, commercial, medical, and educational needs. The system is available on the Web (http://3d.csie.ntu.edu.tw) with a database containing over 10,000 models free downloaded through the Internet. Users can query 3D models by text, drawing 2D shapes using a friendly painting interface, or selecting one 3D model as a query key interactively. The features representing a 3D object, namely, the Lightfield Descriptors, are extracted from 2D images, which are rendered from cameras positioned on the vertices of a regular dodecahedron. The Lightfield Descriptors of each model are used to compare similarities among each other, and the retrieval process takes only 2 and 0.1 seconds with a 3D model and 2D shapes, respectively. During four months, the system has been widely used for querying over three thousand times from 418 IP addresses in at least 27 countries.en_US
