Hierarchical Organization of Shapes for Efficient Retrieval Victoria Choi EN161 Final Project Initial Presentation November 5, 2004
Overview • Motivation • Algorithm • Results • Action Plan • Sources
Motivation • Characterization of complex objects using their contours • Common approaches study objects using discrete collection of points (e.g. ‘landmark-based’ analysis), mapping or functions • Increase efficiency by improving database searches in systems with shape-based queries
Algorithm: Background • Geodesic paths between shapes • Utilises minimum energy to bend one shape into another • Cluster shapes according to minimum pairwise geodesic distances • Generate tree using Karcher mean
Algorithm: Clustering • Minimum-Variance Clustering • Goal: minimise average distance-square Q within clusters • Utilises Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) search process • Start with calculating pairwise geodesic distances among all shape • Randomly distribute shapes in clusters • With equal probability: • (1) move a shape or • (2) swap two shapes • Repeat above step for a predefined number of iterations
Algorithm:Tree-generation • Objects are organized according to coarser differences at top levels and finer differences at lower levels • Bottom-up construction • Start with all shapes at lowest level • After clustering, compute a mean shape for each cluster and cluster them at the upper level • Repeat until the top of the tree is reached • Karcher mean is utilised to compute mean shapes
Project Plan • now-11/12: confirm database and other information availability, gather necessary resources, implement clustering algorithm • 11/12-11/19: implement tree-generation algorithm • 11/19-11/23: implement shape retrieval algorithm • 11/23-end: testing/debugging, presentation preparation
