Abstract: Until the last decades, researchers taught that teaching a computer how to recognize a bunny, for example, in a complex scene is almost impossible. Today, computer vision system do it with a high score of accuracy. To bring the real world to the computer vision system, real objects are represented as 3D models (point clouds, meshes), which adds extra constraints that should be processed to ensure a good recognition, for example the resolution of the mesh. In this work, based on the state of the art method called Spin Image, we introduce our contribution to recognize 3D objects. Our motivation is to ensure a good recognition under different conditions such as rotation, translation and mainly scaling, resolution changes, occlusions and clutters. To that end we have analyzed the spin image algorithm to propose an extended version robust to scale and resolution changes, knowing that spin images fails to recognize 3D objects in that case. The key idea is to approach the representation of spin images of the same object under different conditions by the mean of normalization, either these conditions result in linear or non-linear correlation between images. Our contribution, unlike spin image algorithm, allows to recognize objects with different resolutions and scale. Plus it shows a good robustness to occlusions up to 60% and clutters up to 50%, tested on two datasets: Stanford and ArcheoZoo3D.
