A normal vector shows the entire shape of a model well. The distribution of normal vectors was sampled in proportion to each polygon's area so that the information on the surface with less surface area may be less reflected on composing a feature descriptor in order to enhance retrieval performance. At the analysis result of ANMRR, the enhancement of approx. 12.4%~34.7% compared to the existing method has also been indicated.}, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {3}, number = {9}, year = {2009}, pages = {621 - 624}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/5344}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/33}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 33, 2009}, }
