Table 2.

Runtimes (in seconds) to compute the descriptor for the largest and the smallest SES of the dataset and to compute the distance between two SES using the evaluated shape retrieval methods

Method	PANORAMA	Shape-DNA	VFH
Largest SES	5.05	19.05	2.31
Smallest SES	1.04	2.98	0.44
Distance	0.27	0.02	0.03
Total	6.36	22.05	2.78

Note: For information, EDTSurf takes 10.9 s and 1.85 s to compute the largest and smallest SES, respectively.
