in fact it doesn't really answer my question because i don't have texture in my object files but i don't know if i can adapt it to my case (i am a biginner with matlab). any way i will try with. and thank you a lot for your answer.

[jiji hr]

if i understood the source code very well i think it takes an image then it parses it in an .obj file, but my problem is that i have an .obj file and i want to know how can i get the 3D model from. This .obj file does not contain texture.

[Walter Roberson]

The readobj will return an empty .vt field if the .obj file has no texture information. It will not be a problem.

If I understand the code it looks to me as if you could use

obj = readobj('FileName.obj');   %use appropriate file
patch('vertices', obj.v, 'faces', obj.f.v);
shading interp
colormap(gray(256));
lighting phong
camproj('perspective');
axis square
axis off
axis equal
axis tight
cameramenu

However I do not know how the color will come out.

Here readobj is the code from the first of the two links above.

I don't have readobj(). What toolbox is it in? What program created the obj file in the first place? I know Visual Studio creates obj files but I doubt you'd want to open them in MATLAB.

lineno:2 is giving me an error

Error using patch

Value must be of numeric type and greater than 1

Error in read3dModel (line 13)

patch('Faces', obj.f.v, 'vertices', obj.v);

I'm using this model for sample : https://free3d.com/3d-model/hand-v1--945174.html

And this code for readObj function http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/18957-readobj

What is class(obj.v) and also size()? I wonder if it is []

Hi Roberson,

In relation to this question, I want to know how to detect a new object and validate(extract features like colour, dimensions, texture etc; compare and validate) it with a reference obj file using the above set of code?

How can I give the colour of the new object and how similar it is with the reference obj file.

Can I say how much does the material resemble with mtl file of the reference obj file?

[Walter Roberson]

@Gayathri

I do not understand about "detect a new object" ? The above code is for reading and displaying whatever is in a .obj file, not for deciding which entry has what meaning.

toolbox_graph has a function read_obj that does that.
