3D SEARCHING
Advances in computing power combined with interactive modeling software, which lets users create images as queries for searches have made 3Dsearch technology possible. The methodology used involves the following steps " Query formulation " Search process " Search result QUERY FORMULATION True 3D search systems offer two principal ways to formulate a query: Users can select objects from a catalog of images based on product groupings, such as gears or sofas; or they can utilize a drawing program to create a picture of the object they are looking for. or example, Princeton's 3D search engine uses an application to let users draw a 2D or b of the object they want to find. The above picture shows the query interface of a 3D search system. SEARCH PROCESS The 3D-search system uses algorithms to convert the selected or drawn image-based query into a a mathematical model that describes the features of the object being sought. This converts drawings and o
