The continuous evolution of computer capacities, as well as the emergence of the X3D standard has recently boosted the 3D domain. Even if efficient tools that support the designer's work exist, little attention is paid to the reuse of 3D models. Associating some semantics with 3D contents is an important issue for reusing such contents or pieces of content. In this paper, we address this issue by using a generic semantic annotation model for 3D, called 3DSEAM [Bilasco et al. 2005b] (3D SEmantics Annotation Model). 3DSEAM aims at indexing 3D contents considering visual, geometric and semantic aspects. A generic 3D Annotation Framework (called 3DAF) is proposed in order to manage the semantic annotations of 3D objects. 3DAF is instantiated using an MPEG-7-based architecture. An extension of MPEG-7 that addresses 3D content is used. [Bilasco et al. 2005a].
The evolving desktop computer capacities and the emergence of the X3D standard offer a new boost to 3D domain. Giving sense to 3D content becomes a major issue specially for reusing such a content extracted from existing 3D scenes. In this paper, we address this issue by proposing a generic semantic annotation model for 3D called 3DSEAM (3D SEmantics Annotation Model). 3DSEAM aims at indexing 3D content considering visual, geometric and semantic aspects. 3DSEAM is instantiated using MPEG-7 extended with 3D specific locators. These locators link the visual, geometric and semantic features of a 3D content to the corresponding X3D fragment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
