3D Human Shapes Correspondence using the Principal Curvature Fields on a Local Surface Parametrization

In this paper, we address the problem of the correspondence b etween 3D non-rigid human shapes. We propose a local surface description around the 3D human body extremi i s. It is based on the mean of principal curvature fields values on the intrinsic Darcyan parametriz ation constructed around these points. The similarity between the resulting descriptors is, then, measured in the sense of theL2 distance. Experiments on a several human objects from the TOSCA dataset confirm the accuracy of t he proposed approach.
