Abstract

In this paper we introduce our approach for similarity measure of 3-D objects based on an existing curve skeletonization technique. This skeletonization algorithm for 3-D objects delivers skeletons thicker than 1 voxel. This makes an efficient distance or similarity measure impossible. To overcome this drawback, we use a significantly extended skeletonization algorithm (by Reniers) and a modified Dijkstra approach. In addition to that, we propose features that are directly extracted from the resulting skeletal structures. To evaluate our system, we created a ground truth of 3-D objects and their similarities estimated by humans. The automatic similarity results achieved by our system were evaluated against this ground truth in terms of precision and recall in an object retrieval setup.
