3D Segmentation by Spectral Clustering Using Shape Index
Rajaallah, E.; Herouane, O.; Moumoun, L.; Gadi, T.

Abstract
The 3D segmentation is a required pretreatment for many applications of 3D processing objects (Search by content, compression, animation, etc…). The design of a segmentation algorithm must take into account the purpose of the algorithm and the application domain to which it is intended. We propose in this paper a new approach to construct the recursive spectral clustering technique using a similarity matrix. This approach is based on the shape index values of adjacent faces and a hierarchical segmentation by optimal recursive cuts. The experimental results obtained are very encouraging and have allowed us to evidence the effectiveness of our approach for segmentation of 3D objects.
