Abstract: Highlights•Derive function-aware object descriptor via indirect shape analysis.•ISA is less affected by inconsistencies between the geometry or topology of shapes.•ISA is based on agent–object interactions.•The retrieval performance of 3D shapes is significantly improved.•ISA is robust against noise and partial matching.
