Abstract

The increasing number of three-dimensional objects available on digital format triggered a great interest in research in this domain. Finding efficient methods of analysis, comparison and retrieval of 3D models has become an important task. However, despite the existence of some benchmarks with collections of 3D models, annual contests with specific tracks to compare techniques, and even a framework online (MMW.com) which allows to compare the performance of descriptors, there is no integrated system that provides, in a centralized manner, the necessary tools to study and compare the various techniques associated with 3D object retrieval. In this article, we present a modular and scalable web-based system that allows the addition of new components, like shape descriptors or segmentation algorithms, with minor effort by researchers who developed them.
