• Paper: Maks Ovsjanikov, Mirela Ben-Chen, Justin Solomon, Adrian Butscher and Leonidas Guibas. Functional Maps: A Flexible Representation of Maps Between Shapes. ACM Transactions on Graphics. 31(4), 2012
• Reason: this paper presents a methodology to find consistent functional representations between the feature spaces of two 3D shapes. We want to understand the theoretical background of this method, and explore the possibility of applying it to generic feature spaces other than images or shapes. — Yang 2017/6/5
