Abstract:
In this paper, we describe a framework for similarity based retrieval from a 3D human database. Our technique is based on both body and head shape representation and retrieval based on similarity of both of them. The 3D human database used in our study is the CAESAR [CAESAR] anthropometric database and in it are around 5000 bodies. Furthermore, we have developed a web based interface for specifying the queries and to interact with the retrieval system. We have seen that our approach performs the similarity based retrieval in a reasonable amount of time and seems to be a practical approach.
