Computer science description: Non-rigid shape description and analysis is an unsolved problem in computer graphics. Shape analysis is a fast evolving research field due to the wide availability of 3D shape databases. Widely studied methods for this family of problems include the Gromov Hausdorff distance [1], Bag-of-Features [2] and diffusion geometry [3]. The limitations of the Euclidian distance measure in the context of isometric deformation have made geodesic distance a de-facto standard for describing a metric space for non-rigid shape analysis. In this work, we propose a novel geodesic field space-based approach to describe and analyze non-rigid shapes from a point correspondence perspective. date: 2012 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: New, Austin T. and Mukhopadhyay, Anirban and Arabnia, Hamid R. and Bhandarkar, Suchendra M.
