| 3D object recognition from range images. A new integrated local surface descriptor is developed for efficient surface representation and surface matching. |

| We develop a to-local procedure for aligning non-rigid shapes is presented. The global similarity transformation is obtained based on the corresponding pairs found by matching shape context descriptors. The local deformation is performed within an optimization formulation, in which the bending energy of thin plate spline transformation is incorporated as a regularization term to keep the structure of the model shape preserved under the shape deformation. |
