Similarity Measurement and Retrieval of Three-Dimensional Voxel Model Based on Symbolic Operator

Three-dimensional voxel models are widely applied in various fields such as 3D imaging, industrial design, and medical imaging. The advancement of 3D modeling techniques and measurement devices has made the generation of three-dimensional models more convenient. The exponential increase in the number of 3D models presents a significant challenge for model retrieval. Currently, these models are numerous and typically represented as point clouds or meshes, resulting in sparse data and high feature dimensions within the retrieval database. Traditional methods for 3D model retrieval suffer from high computational complexity and slow retrieval speeds. To address this issue, this paper combines spatial-filling curves with octree structures and proposes a novel approach for representing three-dimensional voxel model sequence data features, along with a similarity measurement method based on symbolic operators. This approach enables efficient similarity calculations and rapid dimensionality reduction for the three-dimensional model database, facilitating efficient similarity calculations and expedited retrieval.
