The part-level representation is implemented, which enables a more compact shape description of 3-D objects. The proposed classification method consists of two key processing stages： the improved constrained search on an interpretation tree and the following shape similarity measure computation. By the classification method, both whole match and partial match with shape similarity ranks are achieved; especially, focus match can be accomplished, where different key parts may be labeled and all the matched models containing corresponding key parts may be obtained. A series of experiments show the effectiveness of the presented 3-D object classification method.展开更多

There are two important events, depicted by the aspect graph approach, edge-：edge-edge （EEE） events and edge-vertex （EV） events. This paper presents an algorithm to compute EEE events by characteristic analysis based on conicoid theory, in contrast to current algorithms that focus too much on EV events and often overlook the importance of EEE events. Also, the paper provides a standard flowchart for the viewpoint space partitioning based on aspect graph theory that makes it suitable for perspective models. The partitioning result best demonstrates the algorithm＇s efficiency with more valuable viewpoints found with the help of EEE events, which can definitely help to achieve high recognition rate for 3-D object recognition.展开更多

The main contribution of this paper can be summarized as follows: The work of Feng and Shi has been extended to an elastic multi-structures with nonlinear structural element: shell in both linear and nonlinear case. Three general combinations of multi-structures have been formulated, that is, Case 1: linear elements of 3-D body, 1-D bar/beam, 2-D plates and 2-D shell; Case 2: nonlinear elements of 3-D body, 1-D bar/beam, 2-D plates and 2-D shell; and Case 3: the linear-nonlinear mix problem of 3-D body (nonlinear), 1-D bar/beam (linear), 2-D plates (linear) and 2-D shell (linear). From the investigation, it has proved that the higher dimensional element will have a strong influence on the lower one with the inner linkage boundaries, and also proved that solution uniqueness of elastic multi-structures is different from a single 3-D body.展开更多
