3D Model Data Retrieval System Using KAZE Feature for Accepting 2D Image as Query

Abstract

Recently, with the development of graphics devices and the widely use of 3D geometrical sensors, the quantity of multimedia data including 3D model data has become increasing. Therefore, the technological needs for searching those data to create multimedia contents are expanding. In this paper, the authors propose a 3D model data retrieval system using KAZE image feature that accepts 2D images as queries for the search. The paper explains a system overview and the details of its functionalities. It also shows experimental results. From the results, the proposed system as a 3D model search system that accepts a 3D model as a query indicates better performance than D2 method which is one of the popular 3D model search methods although it indicates not so good performance when accepts 2D images as the query.
