3D Model Classification and Retrieval Based on Semantic and Ontology
Classifying 3D models into classes is an important step in 3D model retrieval process. However, most classification system does not include semantic information. In this paper, a new method has been proposed to classify and to retrieve 3D model using semantic concepts and ontology. First, we use the machine learning methods to label 3D models by k-means algorithm in shape indexes space. Second, classification of 3D models into classes based on semantic annotation is applied. Finally, ontology is constructed with instances for each class, which contain spatial relationships, shape indexes and measures. Therefore, the 3D model retrieval system is comprised of low-level and high-level visual features. We interpret our results using the Princeton Shape Benchmark Database and our prototypical 3D Model Search System (3DMSS). The results show the performance of the proposed new approach to classify and to retrieve 3D models.
