Skeleton based shape matching and retrieval
Abstract
We describe a novel method for searching and comparing 3D objects. The method encodes the geometric and topological information in the form of a skeletal graph and uses graph matching techniques to match the skeletons and to compare them. The skeletal graphs can be manually annotated to refine or restructure the search. This helps in choosing between a topological similarity and a geometric (shape) similarity. A feature of skeletal matching is the ability to perform part-matching, and its inherent intuitiveness, which helps in defining the search and in visualizing the results. Also, the matching results, which are presented in a per-node basis can be used for driving a number of registration algorithms, most of which require a good initial guess to perform registration. We also describe a visualization tool to aid in the selection and specification of the matched objects.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
