Scale Normalization for Isometric Shape Matching

Yusuf Sahillioğlu and Yücel YemezComputer Eng. Dept., Koç University, Istanbul, Turkey

Problem Definition & Scope2 / 22

Scale problem inherent to isometric shape correspondence.

Scale normalization tested by shape correspondence. One shape is an isometric part of the other up to an

arbitrary scale.

Yusuf Sahillioğlu & Yücel Yemez, Scale Normalization for Isometric Shape Matching, Pacific Graphics, 2012.

Motivation3 / 22

Shape interpolation, animation.

Shape registration.

Shape recognition.

Time-varying reconstruction.

Statistical shape analysis.

Mapping between two shapes initiates cool apps.

Attribute transfer.


Contributions

A novel scale-invariant isometric distortion function.

Embedding avoided.

Correspondences are partial and dense at the same time.

No restriction on topology and triangulation type.

Isometry

Our method is purely isometric. Intrinsic global property.

Similar shapes have similar metric structures.

Metric: geodesic distance.

Scale Normalization

Scale normalization to prepare geodesic distances for the upcoming isometric distortion computations.

Complete shapes (scale by max geodesic)

Partial shapes (max geodesic based normalization fails)

Partial shapes (scale by trusted matches) Partial shapes (scale by Euclidean embedding, e.g., Möbius)

Use initial coarse correspondence to bring the meshes to the same scale.

Dense matching.

Minimum-weight perfect matching on cost matrix C.

ci,j = cost of matching si to tj //generating is traversed by

Symmetric flip caring: repeat above (scaling, sampling, matching) with K-1 more generating initial coarse correspondences that follow in sorted distortions list.

Initial coarse correspondence:

Extension to dense map of size U: which also requires dense sampling.

Initial coarse correspondence dominates all.

Also for complete matching

and for pairs w/ incompatible max geodesics.

Results18 / 22

Comparison w/ Möbius Voting (MV).


MV: bad extremity matching, triangulation-sensitive.

Different choices of M.

Results19 / 22


Too small. computation less reliable.

Too large. High computational

load. Inconsistent joint

sampling.

Limitation & Future Work

Presence of uncommon parts may fail this framework which forces to match M=5 most extremes as a whole. Embedding into a more sophisticated framework should

help as it handles arbitrary scaling of the similar parts to be matched.


Conclusion21 / 22

A novel scale normalization method that proves useful for isometric partial and complete correspondence.

Scale-invariant isometric distortion minimized in the original 3D Euclidean space wherein isometry is defined. So does dense isometric matching.

Correspondences are partial and dense at the same time. Care for symmetric flips. No restriction on topology and triangulation. Applicable in its current form to 3D part retrieval problem.
