Input Number of Images (up to 16), originating from 3D object
Extraction Yes
Client Appl Search & Retrieval
Summary Multiple View (as a container descriptor) uses the underlying Descriptor, e.g. ContourShape for
Extraction and Retrieval of similar objects. Two retrieval methods are available: 3D-3D Retrieval,
where a number of views from one object is compared to a number of views from the database
objects and 2D-3D Retrieval, where a 2D-image is compared to the most similar views of the 3D-object
Strong Points Depends on the underlying Descriptor
Limitations Only up to 16 views per object are supported
Known Problems None
Parameters Uses the general XM-SW parameters, IMPORTANT: The list file should only contain the name of the original 3D object without extension, e.g. "c:\temp\model-1". The extensions for the views are appended automatically by the program. The convention is to name the 2D-views from that model "model-1_1.gif", "model-1_2.gif" up to "model-1_16.gif"
