Partial Shape

Partial shape analysis focuses on recovering complete 3D shapes from incomplete observations, a crucial problem in computer vision and related fields. Current research emphasizes developing robust algorithms and neural network architectures, such as diffusion models, MeshGraphNets, and various autoencoders, to handle noisy data, partial views, and varying levels of shape incompleteness, often incorporating techniques like self-supervision and adversarial training. These advancements improve accuracy in shape completion and retrieval tasks, impacting applications ranging from robotic grasping to 3D model reconstruction and virtual reality. The development of new datasets specifically designed for partial shape matching further enhances the rigor and reproducibility of research in this area.
