Shape

Definition from Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary:• a : the visible makeup characteristic of a

particular item or kind of item b : spatial form or contour

Shape

Shape is independent of similarity transformation

(rotation, scale, translation, mirror)

Shape Similarity

Need a shape distance function d(A,B) that:• matches our intuitive notion of shape similarity• can be computed robustly and efficiently

Perhaps, shape distance function should be a metric:• Non-negative: d(A,B) 0 for all A and B• Identity: d(A,B) = 0 if and only if

A=B• Symmetry: d(A,B) = d(B,A) for all A

and B• Triangle inequality: d(A,B) + d(B,C) d(A,C)

Example Distance Functions

Lp norm:

Hausdorff distance:

Shape Matching

Compute shape distance function for pair of 3D models• Can matching two objects• Can find most similar object among a small set

Are these the same chair?

Shape Retrieval

Find 3D models with shape most similar to query• Searching large database must take less than O(n)

Is this blue chair in the database?

What feature vectors?

Voxels

Use voxel values as feature vector (shape descriptor)• Feature space has N3 dimensions

(one dimension for each voxel)

• d(A,B) = ||A-B||N

Example:

( )d =,

NA B A-B

Voxels

Can store distance transform (DT) in voxels

• ||A-DT(B)||1 represents sum of distances from every point on surface of A to closest point on surface of B

Rotation (PCA)• Principal axes are eigenvectors associated with

Not very robust!

Alignment

Mirror• PCA does not give directions for principal axes

Need heuristics to determine positive axes!

Alignment-Independent Descriptors

Observation: it is difficult to normalize for differences in rotation and mirroring

Motivation: build a shape descriptor that is invariant to rotations and mirrors and as discriminating as possible
