Abstract
In this paper we propose a skeletonization approach that encodes a 3D object into a skeletal Reeb graph using a normalized mixture distance function. Then, we introduce a novel graph matching algorithm by comparing the relative shortest paths between the skeleton endpoints. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed topological Reeb graph as a shape signature for 3D object retrieval using a benchmark of articulated shapes.
