3D Average Common Submatrix Measure

This paper introduces a new measure for computing the similarity among 3D objects as the average volume of the largest sub-cubes matching in the objects. The match is approximate and only verified within a neighbourhood from the position of the sub-cubes. Preliminary tests performed on random and synthetic datasets prove the efficacy of the similarity measure in capturing the visual similarity among the 3D objects and a reduction in the execution time when the neighbourhood is considered.
