Overview on 3D models searching and indexing

The number of 3D models available on the web is growing exponentially, given the enormous digitized objects with 3D scanners and synthetic objects produced by modeling software. Traditional text-based search techniques are not always effective for 3D data and aren't very helpful to users. 3D models indexing and searching is a process of coding and describing the shape of 3D models. It aims to facilitate the query on large 3D object databases. To accomplish this task, two approaches can be discussed: the 3D/3D approach that acts directly on the shape of the 3D model, and the 2D/3D one that is based on the projection of the 3D object onto a given plane. In this work, we discuss for each approach the available the main characteristics.
