In this paper, we propose using a pre-segmented example model to perform semantic-oriented segmentation of non-rigid 3D models of the same class (human, octopus, quadrupeds, etc.). Using the fact that the same type of non-rigid models share the same global topological structure, we exploit coarse topological shape attributes in conjunction with a seed-based segmentation approach to transfer a meaningful and consistent segmentation from the example to the target models. Promising results of inter-shape segmentation transfer are shown and discussed for different classes of models.
