Retrieval and Clustering from a 3D Human Database based on Body and Head Shape

摘要

In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval andclustering from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body andhead shape representation and the retrieval is based on similarity of both ofthem. The 3D human database used in our study is the CAESAR anthropometricdatabase which contains approximately 5000 bodies. We have developed aweb-based interface for specifying the queries to interact with the retrievalsystem. Our approach performs the similarity based retrieval in a reasonableamount of time and is a practical approach.
