Abstract
This paper introduces a skeletal representation, called Point Cloud Graph, that generalizes the definition of the Reeb graph to arbitrary point clouds sampled from m-dimensional manifolds embedded in the d-dimensional space. The proposed algorithm is easy to implement and the graph representation yields to an effective abstraction of the data. Finally, we present experimental results on point-sampled surfaces and volumetric data that show the robustness of the Point Cloud Graph to non-uniform point distributions and its usefulness for shape comparison.
