Shape indexing

Combine image-based queries with other types of queries in order to:

1.
Rapidly retrieve models or information on existing parts: mechanical, electrical, frame, etc.
2.
Access large DB which are not necessarily well-structured.
3.
Access large DB having only a feel or rather vague idea of what one is looking for.
