Abstract. Viewpoints selection is a key part in 3D object recognition since 3D object can be represented by a set of 2D projections. In this paper, we discuss a new method to select viewpoints of 3D object recognition. Based on manifold topological multi-resolution analysis method (MMA), manifold information which represents the intrinsic feature of 3D objects is used, thus the viewpoints selected are more distinctive. We compared with "7 viewpoints method" which provides us a simple and effective way to select viewpoints. Experiments demonstrate that the method based on MMA is effective and performances better than "7 viewpoints method" in 3D object recognition.
