Triplet Hierarchical Metric Network for Sketch-Based 3D Shape Retrieval
A triplet hierarchical metric network for 3D model sketch retrieval is proposed to address the problem that sketches are treated as ordinary images and their unique sparsity is ignored,and the intra-class differences between sketches and 3D models are not given enough attention,which affects the retrieval per-formance.Then,the network is fully constrained by multi-level joint loss across domains,so that the net-work learns to represent both single-domain intra-class differences and inter-domain relationships,which effectively improves the retrieval performance of the network.The experimental results show that the aver-age retrieval accuracy of the proposed network on two publicly available datasets SHREC2013 and SHREC2014 is 87.7%and 83.3%,respectively,which is more than 0.5 percentage points and 1.5 percentage points better than the advanced work(the same base-net).
