Topological descriptors for 3D surface analysis
We investigate topological descriptors for 3D surface analysis, i.e. the classification of surfaces according to their geometric fine structure. On a dataset of high-resolution 3D surface reconstructions we compute persistence diagrams for a 2D cubical filtration. In the next step we investigate different topological descriptors and measure their ability to discriminate structurally different 3D surface patches. We evaluate their sensitivity to different parameters and compare the performance of the resulting topological descriptors to alternative (non-topological) descriptors. We present a comprehensive evaluation that shows that topological descriptors are (i) robust, (ii) yield state-of-the-art performance for the task of 3D surface analysis and (iii) improve classification performance when combined with non-topological descriptors.

General ClassificationTopological descriptors of spatial coherence in a convective boundary layer
The interaction between a turbulent convective boundary layer (CBL) and the underlying land surface is an important research problem in the geosciences. In order to model this interaction adequately, it is necessary to d…
Neural Descriptors: Self-Supervised Learning of Robust Local Surface Descriptors Using Polynomial Patches
Classical shape descriptors such as Heat Kernel Signature (HKS), Wave Kernel Signature (WKS), and Signature of Histograms of OrienTations (SHOT), while widely used in shape analysis, exhibit sensitivity to mesh connectiv…
