The effect of spatial information characterization on 3D local feature descriptors: A quantitative evaluation

作者:

Highlights:

• The effect of spatial information encoding (SIE) on 3D local descriptors is emphasized.

• Eighteen types of 3D local descriptors with different SIE approaches are proposed.

• Quantitative evaluation of SIE approaches is performed on three standard datasets.

• The merits, demerits and suitable applications of different SIE ways are summarized.

• Instructive guidance is concluded for the design of a 3D local descriptor.
