Abstract
This thesis describes a component-level discrete symmetry detection algorithm that detects translation, reflection, and rotation symmetry in pairs of parts of a whole shape. The dataset used is ShapeNetCore, a large-scale dataset of man-made 3D shapes of everyday objects. Currently, ShapeNet only provides information on pre-segmentation of the shapes. We are interested in improving ShapeNet by annotating the shapes with information on the symmetries within the models. In addition to the three partial symmetries listed before, the algorithm also detects global self-reflection as well as symmetry groups of pairs of parts. The results show the partial symmetry detection algorithm at around 99% accuracy for detecting reflection and rotation symmetries and around 95% for translation symmetries on the dataset of chair shapes. Future work includes evaluating the algorithm on other kinds of shapes, as well as improving the current partial symmetry detection to reduce errors. Future uses of the partial symmetry detection algorithm include helping with 3D shape completion from partial shapes.
