New shape descriptor for 3D model retrieval based on a sliced image histogram

This paper propose a new shape descriptor for 3D model retrieval. The shape descriptor is using a histogram of 2D images sliced along the x-, y-, and z-coordinates for measuring the similarity in 3D models. We demonstrate the proposed 3D retrieval system with an intermediate example at each step. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms the previous approaches.
