This work presents a flexible framework for recognizing 3D objects from 2D views. Similarity-based aspect-graph, which contains a set of aspects and prototypes for these aspects, is employed to represent the database of 3D objects. An incremental database construction method that maximizes the similarity of views in the same aspect and minimizes the similarity of prototypes is proposed as the core of the framework to build and update the aspect-graph using 2D views randomly sampled from a viewing sphere. The proposed framework is evaluated on various object recognition problems, including 3D object recognition, human posture recognition and scene recognition. Shape and color features are employed in different applications with the proposed framework and the top three matching rates show the efficiency of the proposed method.
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.
