A Content-Based 3D Graphic Information Retrieval System

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNISA,volume 4182))

Abstract

This paper presents a 3D graphic information retrieval system which supports a content-based retrieval for 3D. The user can pose a visual query involving various 3D graphic features such as inclusion of a given object, object’s shape, descriptive information and spatial relations on the web interface. The data model underlying the retrieval system models 3D scenes using domain objects and their spatial relations. An XML-based data modeling language called 3DGML has been designed to support the data model. We discuss the data modeling technique and the retrieval system in detail.
