In this paper, a novel method by using cluster-based panoramic views is proposed for retrieving 3D virtual mannequins. First, a Young Chinese Female Virtual Mannequin (YCFVM) database is established by analyzing various 3D body scan data; second, panoramic views of virtual mannequins are obtained, and the Fourier and Wavelet features of the panoramic views are extracted; third, a multi-scale indexing of the YCFVM dataset is generated for fast matching by using fuzzy clustering for the Wavelet features; finally, the Fourier descriptor is embedded into the feature matching with the generated indexing for obtaining more accurate retrieval results. Experiment results show that the proposed method can achieve better retrieval performance than other descriptors used for virtual mannequin retrieval.}, issn = {2617-8699}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.3993/jfbim00137}, url = {https://global-sci.com/article/86584/virtual-mannequins-retrieval-based-on-cluster-based-panoramic-views} }
