Abstract:
In this paper, a simple and robust prong features detection algorithm is proposed. A prong feature is an assisting feature that can be used in many applications. For instance, it can be used to identify a model that consists of several prong parts for model decomposition. It represents a useful feature for skeleton extraction as well as a comparable feature for object matching. In addition, it could also be a fast alignment feature for model alignment and morphing. Furthermore, it is an invariant feature for mesh simplification.
