Abstract

Due to the popularity of the Internet, multimedia searching is becoming more and more an important research area. It allows us to search the Internet for media objects by specifying some feature criteria or providing sample objects. Although a lot of work has been conducted on searching images, videos and audio, there has been very limited work on searching 3D object models and most of the proposed methods only show the performance of the proposed method, without a comparison with other methods. In this paper, we survey some representative work in this area. We show how they are implemented and compare their performances with each other using a common geometry database. We also propose the Haar wavelets method for 3D model matching. This method is simple to implement, has a very good retrieval performance, and small feature size, as demonstrated in our experiments.
