Abstract
A computer-implemented method for classifying three-dimensional (3D) objects including obtaining a set of 3D objects. Each 3D object of the set has a signature representative of the morphology of the 3D object. The method also includes computing a multi-level clustering of the set of 3D objects. The multi-level clustering is a hierarchical tree structure of clusters of 3D objects of the set and has N hierarchical levels. The method also includes selecting, automatically or upon user interaction, one of the computed clusters of a level of the multi-level clustering thereby defining a current level. The method comprises displaying, to a user, 3D objects of the selected cluster in a first part of a display. The method further includes classifying, upon user interaction, the displayed 3D objects. The computer-implemented method improves the classification of 3D objects.
