3D object retrieval from user-drawn (sketch) queries is one of the important research issues in the areas of pattern recognition and computer graphics for simulation, visualization, and Computer Aided Design. The performance of any content-based 3D object retrieval system crucially depends on the availability of effective descriptors and similarity measures for this kind of data. We present a sketch-based approach for improving 3D object retrieval effectiveness by optimizing the representation of one particular type of features (oriented gradients) using a sparse coding approach. We perform experiments, the results of which show that the retrieval quality improves over alternative features and codings. Based our findings, the coding can be proposed for sketch-based 3D object retrieval systems relying on oriented gradient features.
