The depth images are used to improve light field descriptor. Discrete wavelet transform features and Zernike moments are extracted from projection views. Then the depth images are clustered to remove redundancy. The random walk algorithm is employed to determine the weight of each cluster. Finally, the retrieval method of PANORAMA is optimized to calculate similarity distance between two 3D models. Results on princeton shape benchmark show that the proposed algorithm can make good use of spatial information of 3D model and improve the accuracy of retrieval. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2016.04.011
