3D Objects Indexing Using Spherical Harmonic for Optimum Measurement Similarity

In this paper, we propose a method for three-dimensional
(3-D)-model indexing based on defining a new
descriptor, which we call new descriptor using spherical harmonics.
The purpose of the method is to minimize, the processing time on the
database of objects models and the searching time of similar objects
to request object.
Firstly we start by defining the new descriptor using a new
division of 3-D object in a sphere. Then we define a new distance
which will be used in the search for similar objects in the database.
