This invention presents a novel method for document retrieval using three-dimensional (3D) models reconstructed from physical objects. By converting images of objects into 3D point clouds, the system generates feature vector representations that capture both local and global geometric properties. These representations enable effective retrieval and classification of documents related to the objects. For example, a multi-view image of a mechanical part can be transformed into a 3D model, allowing for precise searches in engineering databases.
BACKGROUND
The field of document retrieval often relies on two-dimensional images, which can inadequately represent the complexity of three-dimensional objects. Current systems struggle with accurately retrieving similar objects due to the limitations of multi-view images. This innovation addresses these challenges by utilizing 3D models, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of object identification and classification in various databases, including patents and industrial designs.
