  • Publication number: 20090028393
    Abstract: A system and method of saving digital content classified by person-based clustering. The system for saving digital content classified by person-based clustering, includes a database to save a plurality of digital content classified by person-based clustering; a data structure generation unit to generate a data structure composed of a plurality of nodes using the plurality of digital content; a face recognition unit to extract a face descriptor of new digital content to be saved in the database; a cluster classification unit to classify the new digital content and the plurality of digital content by the person-based clustering using the extracted face descriptor, and a data structure update unit to update the data structure according to the classification.

  • Patent number: 7171060
    Abstract: A method of perceptual 3-dimensional (3D) shape description and a method and apparatus for searching a perceptual 3D graphics model database established using the description method are provided. The description method includes: generating nodes that respectively correspond to parts of a part-based representation of a 3D shape model, the nodes including unary attributes of the parts; generating edges that include relational attributes between the nodes; and generating an attributed relational graph of the 3D shape model that is comprised of the nodes and the edges. The search method includes: receiving a predetermined 3D graphics model; transforming the received 3D graphics model into a perceptual 3D shape descriptor; and comparing the perceptual 3D shape descriptor with each of the perceptual 3D graphics models stored in the database to retrieve the 3D graphic models that are similar to the perceptual 3D shape descriptor.
