Shape Database

MDS Plots give an impression on where the objects are located in shape space. Each object is represented by a point in 10 dimensions. To visualize the location we used multidimensional scaling (MDS) to project the point cloud onto the best fitting plane (identical to principal component analysis). Note that by using a projection whole clusters can collapse!

It can be seen that the horse cluster collapses onto the humans. Let's look at only at few clusters:

So the horse and gorilla are in fact further away from the humans! And eventhough the humans are very similar we can see a clusting behavior of our algorithm:
