Abstract

A novel pose normalization method, based on panoramic views and reflective symmetry, is presented. Initially, the surface of a 3D model is projected onto the lateral surface of a circumscribed cylinder, aligned with the primary principal axis of space. Based on this cylindrical projection, a normals' deviation map is extracted and using an octree-based search strategy, the rotation which optimally aligns the primary principal axis of the 3D model and the cylinder's axis is computed. The 3D model's secondary principal axis is then aligned with the secondary principal axis of space in a similar manner. The proposed method is incorporated in a hybrid scheme, that serves as the pose normalization method in a state-of-the-art 3D model retrieval system. The effectiveness of this system, using the hybrid pose normalization scheme, is evaluated in terms of retrieval accuracy and the results clearly show improved performance against current approaches.
