3D Segmentation Algorithms

This paper is about segmentation and compares seven algorithms (K-means, random walks, fitting primitives, Normalized Cuts, Randomized Cuts, Core Extraction and Shape Diameter Function) with human segmentation. Some important metrics are also presented to evaluate these algorithms.

What follows is learning how to use LDraw library and initiate the retrieval process, using some LEGO bricks. Although the algorithms presented doesn't consider color information, I'm going to use it in my work.
