What Features Can Tell Us about Shape

3D shape representations are essential when storing shape information for natural and manmade objects. To make use of shape information, many applications require shape-processing functionality, such as for search, annotation, classification, modeling, restoration, or collection exploration. This article discusses feature-based approaches and how they can support such functionality.
