Ontology Framework for Content-Based 3D Model Retrieval

The goal of the research on ontology framework for content-based 3D model retrieval is to develop a rich set of 3D model semantic representation so that both humans and machines can generate and understand model descriptions and processing for fast efficient retrieval from model collections. The purpose of ontology development for content-based 3D model retrieval is intended to describe model information regardless of storage, feature extraction and creation. The ontology includes the information on media features, low level visual descriptors, non media features of 3D model and their relationships. It is implemented in protege 3.1.
