A new method to obtain a rough description of a 3-D object from its outline shape is presented in this paper. Firstly the outline shape is split up into parts that are related in a connectivity graph. The boundary features of every part (lines, curves) and the information about its junction with other parts are extracted in order to provide a semantic content to the outline shape graph. A specific language to describe this graph has been developed. Finally, some results obtained applying our approach over real images are presented and discussed
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.
