Abstract
We address the problem of obtaining natural (intuitive)descriptions of 3D shapes. We present one ofthe first attempts to address the description of 3D compoundobjects, where the parts are connected smoothly.The input we consider is either complete 3D data orrange data from a single view. We suggest a volumetricgraph representation of the object, where the nodes representindividual parts and the edges represent connectivityinformation. We suggest the use of properties ofthe parabolic...
