Abstract:
Shape representation and clustering based on spectral graph theory is a hot topic in the field of computer vision and pattern recognition. Aiming at the structure features of different shapes, the highdimensional data are obtained by means of singular value decomposition on quasiLaplace matrices of the skeleton of shapes. Furthermore, the shapes are clustered by analyzing the distribution of the projection in a lowdimensional space. The comparative experiments on the public dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
