Content-Based Search on a Database of Geometric Models: Identifying Objects of Similar Shape

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/789509· OSTI ID:789509

The Geometric Search Engine is a software system for storing and searching a database of geometric models. The database maybe searched for modeled objects similar in shape to a target model supplied by the user. The database models are generally from CAD models while the target model may be either a CAD model or a model generated from range data collected from a physical object. This document describes key generation, database layout, and search of the database.
