Abstract: A method is disclosed for indexing 3D digital models, retrieving them, comparing them and displaying the results in a 3D space. The method comprises four complementary parts, i.e. displaying, comparing/searching, reconciling the faces, and classifying the results. These parts can overlap with each other or can be implemented separately. A method is described for retrieving 3D models that share certain similarities of form with a reference 3D model, involving a first step of analysis in order to generate representations (descriptors). The process of searching/comparing 3D models based on descriptors partially related to the faces optionally requires a process of pairing and reconciling the faces. The results are displayed in a single 3-dimensional space and, owing to a mark on the faces of the 3D models, makes it possible to distinguish several types of difference between similar 3D models.

Abstract: A method is disclosed allowing digital 3D models to be indexed, searched, and compared, and to display the results in a 3D space. The method comprises four complementary parts: displaying, comparing/searching, face reconciliation, and ranking results. Each of these parts can fit in one another or be used independently. The implementation of a process for searching/comparing 3D models based on descriptors at least partly related to faces requires a face reconciliation process (pairing of faces between 3D models).
