Example for matching the descriptors?

[ttsesm]

Hi,

Is there an example or tutorial that shows how to match the extracted descriptors between two meshes?

Thanks.

Hi @ttsesm,

Sorry for the delay: I just have seen that you opened this issue.

There's no tutorial showing how to match two meshes using their descriptors: pyshot just implements minimal bindings to the reference implementation of SHOT.

Yet, I think you should be able to use many techniques to match vectors together: the result is just a numpy array of descriptors' vectors.

What is your workflow? Do you need to enable something?

@jjerphan is it possible to create a 2d to 3d mapping with SHOT descriptors?

[jjerphan]

Yes, it is possible.

For instance, you can refer to:

• the original work and code of the authors of SHOT
• [the 3.2 section (especially the 3.2.1 subsection) of this article to have an overview for constructing a functional mapping operating on shapes.
