SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GENERATING SIGNATURES TO THREE-DIMENSIONAL MULTIMEDIA DATA ELEMENTS

A method and system for generating signatures for three-dimensional multimedia data elements. The method comprises receiving by a three-dimensional multimedia data element; projecting the received three-dimensional multimedia data element on at least one two-dimensional plane, wherein the projection results in two-dimensional graphic representations of the received three-dimensional multimedia data element; generating by a signature generator at least one signature for each of the plurality of two-dimensional graphic representations; assembling by an assembler unit the plurality of signatures generated for each of the plurality of two-dimensional graphic representations to generate a complex signature, wherein the complex signature is the signature representing the three-dimensional multimedia data element; and storing the signatures of each of the two-dimensional graphic representations of the at least one three-dimensional multimedia data element and the complex signature in association with the three-dimensional multimedia data element in a storage unit.
