Abstract

In this paper, we present a new method for 3D-shape categorization using Bag-of-Feature techniques (BoF). This method is based on vector quantization of invariant descriptors of 3Dobject patches. We analyze the performance of two wellknown classifiers: the Naïve Bayes and the SVM. The results show the effectiveness of our approach and prove that the method is robust to non-rigid and deformable shapes, in which the class of transformations may be very wide due to the capability of such shapes to bend and assume different forms.
