Shape matching plays an important role in geometry processing and shape analysis. In the last decades, much research has been devoted to improve the quality of matching between surfaces. This huge effort is motivated by several applications such as object retrieval, animation and information transfer just to name a few. Shape matching is usually divided into two main categories: rigid and non rigid matching. In both cases, the standard evaluation is usually performed on shapes that share the same connectivity, in other words, shapes represented by the same mesh. This is mainly due to the availability of a “natural” ground truth that is given for these shapes. Indeed, in most cases the consistent connectivity directly induces a ground truth correspondence between vertices. However, this standard practice obviously does not allow to estimate the robustness of a method with respect to different connectivity. With this track, we propose a benchmark to evaluate the performance of point-to-p
