Abstract
A large number of 3D spectral descriptors have been proposed in the literature, which act as an essential component for 3D deformable shape matching and related applications. An outstanding descriptor should have desirable natures including high-level descriptive capacity, cheap storage, and robustness to a set of nuisances. It is, however, unclear which descriptors are more suitable for a particular application. This paper fills the gap by comprehensively evaluating nine state-of-the-art spectral descriptors on ten popular deformable shape datasets as well as perturbations such as mesh discretization, geometric noise, scale transformation, non-isometric setting, partiality, and topological noise. Our evaluated terms for a spectral descriptor cover four major concerns, i.e., distinctiveness, robustness, compactness, and computational efficiency. In the end, we present a summary of the overall performance and several interesting findings that can serve as guidance for the following researchers to construct a new spectral descriptor and choose an appropriate spectral feature in a particular application.
