Shape Measure for Identifying Perceptually Informative Parts of 3D Objects (original) (raw)
2006, Third International Symposium on 3D Data Processing, Visualization, and Transmission (3DPVT'06)
We propose a mathematical approach for quantifying shape complexity of 3D surfaces based on perceptual principles of visual saliency. Our curvature variation measure (CVM), as a 3D feature, combines surface curvature and information theory by leveraging bandwidth-optimized kernel density estimators. Using a part decomposition algorithm for digitized 3D objects, represented as triangle meshes, we apply our shape measure to transform the low level mesh representation into a perceptually informative form. Further, we analyze the effects of noise, sensitivity to digitization, occlusions, and descriptiveness to demonstrate our shape measure on laser-scanned real world 3D objects.
