Abstract

In this paper, we present our initial solution to partial similarity computation between arbitrary 3D polygon models. The task is considered as the estimation of similarity transformations between the query pattern and target object. Two steps accounting for the scaling and rotation/translation parts are carried out, facilitated by applying EMD (earth mover's distance) to search the correspondence between focused point sets. In order to reduce the computation complexity involved in the second step, we use K-means algorithm to cluster the vertices of each model. We report our early experiments testing the efficiency of the proposed method on a small database as well as detailed discussions and the outline for the future work.
