The proposed BDE signature allows for multiscale surface feature-based representation of deformable 3D shapes for subsequent image and scene analysis. It is shown to provide an underlying theoretical framework for the concept of intrinsic geometric scale space, resulting in a highly descriptive characterization of both, the local surface structure and the global metric of the 3D shape. The compactness and robustness of the proposed BDE signature are demonstrated via a series of experiments and a key components detection application. date: 2014 date_type: published publisher: IEEE pagerange: 4737-4741 event_title: IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) event_location: Paris, France event_dates: October 27-30 2014 event_type: conference id_number: 10.1109/ICIP.2014.7025960 refereed: TRUE isbn: 978-1-4799-5751-4 book_title: IEEE International Conference on image Processing official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?arnumber=7025960 related_url_url: http://www.icip2014.com/ related_url_type: org citation: Mukhopadhyay, Anirban and Bhandarkar, Suchendra M.
