In this work we present a new method for
compacting data from 3D shapes by extracting a 3D
characteristic curve that we call a 3D signature. The 3D
signature obtained preserves almost all the morphological
shape information but drastically reduces the number of points
required for representing the shape. Furthermore, based on
the 3D signature, we present a 2D signature that draws a
closed contour in a plane and that can be further compacted
using elliptic Fourier descriptors. The method was deve...

to work with a 3D otolith database that is currently under
construction.
