X Abstract

This paper describes a benchmark for evaluation of 3D mesh segmentation algorithms. The benchmark comprises a data set with 4,300 manually generated segmentations for 380 surface meshes of 19 different object categories, and it includes software for analyzing 11 geometric properties of segmentations and producing 4 quantitative metrics for comparison of segmentations. The paper investigates the design decisions made in building the benchmark, analyzes properties of human-generated and computer-generated segmentations, and provides quantitative comparisons of 7 recently published mesh segmentation algorithms. Our results suggest that people are remarkably consistent in the way that they segment most 3D surface meshes, that no one automatic segmentation algorithm is better than the others for all types of objects, and that algorithms based on non-local shape features seem to produce segmentations that most closely resemble ones made by humans.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
