Abstract

In this paper we present a novel approach to 3D shape representation and matching utilizing a set of shape representations for 2D views of the object. The proposed technique capitalizes on the localizationpreserving nature of the Hilbert space filling curve and the approximation capabilities of the Wavelet transform. Each 2D view of the object is represented by a concise 1D representation that can be used to search an image database for a match. The shape of the 3D image is represented by the set of 1D representations of its 2D views. Experimental results, on a subset of the Amsterdam Library of Object Images (ALOI) dataset, are provided.
