[SHREC 2018] Call for Track Proposals

by eurographics＠eg.org

SHREC 2018, http://www.shrec.net/ Call for Track Proposals *Introduction* The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC'18 is the thirteens edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and included in the workshop proceedings. Thanks to the efforts of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's contest, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a test collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance assessment, and performance measures. The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will be published in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop 3D Object Retrieval 2018, https://3dor2018.sites.uu.nl/. At least one author per track must register for the workshop, and present the results. We also cordially invite all participants of a track to register and attend the workshop. *Tracks* The tracks organized in the past years have covered different aspects and tasks of 3D shape retrieval, for example: rigid or non-rigid models; partial (e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and protein), and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection, correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification, recognition, pose estimation, and machine learning. Now we solicit again proposals for tracks. You may opt for one of the above themes, or propose new ones. Track organizers are responsible for all aspects of organizing the track, such as: the task, the data collection (copyright issues, etc.), the queries, the ground truth, the experimental design, the evaluation method, and the procedural aspects, writing the final paper in collaboration with the contestants, and submitting it. See the SHREC home page http://www.shrec.net/ for examples of organizational aspects of previous tracks. *Procedure* The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities: . Potential track organizers send their proposal to shrec(a)cs.uu.nl <mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> , describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, and expected number of participants. . Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC web page, the track organizers start working out the details. . Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in. . Each track is performed according to its own schedule. . The track organizers collect the results. . The track results are combined into a joint paper, to be included in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval(included in the digital library of Eurographics). . The description of the tracks and their results are presented at the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (April 15-16, 2018, Delft, The Netherlands). *SHREC Time Schedule* Important dates .

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2018 (3DOR'18) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- A co-event of Eurographics 2018 April 15-16, 2018, Delft, The Netherlands https://3dor2018.sites.uu.nl/call-for-papers/ Important Dates ---------------------- Full/Short Paper Submission: February 2, 2018 Acceptance Notification: March 2, 2018 Camera Ready: March 9, 2018 Workshop dates: April 15-16, 2018 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series ------------------------------------------------ Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a new wave of information is underway: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modeling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search, and navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing attention from the research community. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2017 will be the 10th workshop in this series. Call for Papers -------------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library. *Extended versions of the full papers will be submitted for a special issue of Computers and Graphics published by Elsevier, based on the reviewers' comments and on the feedback from the 3DOR workshop. The deadline for this special issue will be 6 weeks after the workshop and reviewer continuity will be aimed for. (Pending confirmation)* Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D shape analysis - 3D shape similarity and matching - 3D video retrieval - 3D mobile media retrieval - 3D object retrieval and Web3D - 3D search in large scale data - Personalized 3D search - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Shape correspondence - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-scale representations for matching and retrieval - Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching - Matching under uncertainty and noise - Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification - Sketch-based retrieval - Query interfaces and search modalities - Benchmarking issues - Deep learning for 3D shape retrieval - Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage.

Call for Papers: Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2018

by eurographics＠eg.org

=============================================== Eurographics Symposium on Rendering July 2-4, 2018 Karlsruhe, Germany http://cg.ivd.kit.edu/egsr18/ =============================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2018 will take place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany from July 2nd to July 4th, 2018. This 29th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on Rendering. EGSR has two different tracks: the Experimental Ideas & Implementations (EI & I) track, and the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) track. Authors have the choice of submitting their work to the CGF track, the EI & I track, or both. The CGF track continues the tradition of disseminating the state-of-the-art scientific results in rendering and related fields. Accepted papers in this track will be published in an issue of Computer Graphics Forum after a full journal-style peer review, including a rebuttal and a second review cycle. The EI & I track emphasizes criteria such as whether the idea is stimulating and provides valuable insights to the rendering community, while the requirements on comparisons to related work and citations are relaxed. It thus serves as a venue for soliciting exciting new ideas that have not yet been fully validated according to the high academic standards of the CGF track, or that describe interesting implementation issues for known algorithms in practical industry-scale uses. Papers in this track will undergo full double-blind peer review, and will be published in the EGSR conference proceedings series and in the Eurographics Digital Library, but not the CGF journal. There is neither a rebuttal nor a second review cycle, however. As is common for conference papers, authors have the opportunity to build upon their work, add comparisons and validation, and submit to a journal later. Please the FAQ below for further information on the EI & I track. For both tracks, we are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and related fields. We would like to emphasize that the conference is not exclusively about rendering, and we encourage submissions in the related topics of appearance modeling, virtual/augmented reality, computational displays, fabrication, and hardware architectures. Neither track imposes a fixed maximum paper length. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must be proportional to contribution. If a paper is submitted to both tracks, the paper will initially be reviewed using the CGF process, and reviewers will be unaware of the dual-track submission. If such a paper is rejected from the CGF track, it will then undergo an accelerated EI & I review. Core conference topics include (but are not limited to): * Global illumination * Real-time and offline rendering * Statistics and machine learning-based techniques for image synthesis * Acquisition, modeling, and manipulation of light transport & appearance * Realistic, non-photorealistic, 2D, and 3D image processing & synthesis * Computational photography, optics & displays * Human perception of rendered images * Image synthesis for augmented or virtual reality * Software and hardware systems/architectures for rendering * Audio/sound rendering Important dates (applying to both CGF and EI&I tracks unless specifically indicated): * Abstract deadline: 2 April 2018 * Papers deadline: 6 April 2018 * Reviews due: 5 May 2018 * Rebuttals due: 14 May 2018 (CGF track) * Author notification: 25 May 2018 * Final papers due: 1 June 2018 * Final notification: 8 June 2018 All times are 23:59 (midnight) UTC. We hope to see you and your work in Karlsruhe! Wenzel Jakob Toshiya Hachisuka EGSR 2018 papers chairs -------------------- Frequently Asked Questions about the Experimental Ideas & Implementations Track Q: What's the process to publish an extended journal version of my EI & I paper? A: Once you have a paper accepted in the EI & I track and published in the conference proceedings, many journals, CGF included, apply the rule by which adding 30% new material and addressing any major issues that had precluded journal publication would qualify the revised paper for consideration in the journal. The authors should indicate the nature of the submission in a cover letter. In addition, the EGSR papers committee and CGF editors may, at their discretion, invite select papers from the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track to a fast-track second review cycle in Computer Graphics Forum. Q: Why would I submit to both tracks? A: Should the committee decide your paper is not, in the form it was submitted, suitable for the CGF track, it will then be forwarded to the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track. You, the author, get a paper, valuable feedback, visibility for your ideas, and the possibility of later extending your work into a journal paper if the work is accepted in this second track. However, if you feel your contribution clearly falls within the scope of the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track but not the CGF track, please only submit to the former. This makes the job of the reviewers and the committee easier, which is of particular importance because the review schedule is tight. Q: What if my paper includes interesting system and implementation details but less algorithmic or mathematical novelty? A: We would love to consider your work for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: I have an intriguing idea but I am not certain if it only works in a certain special cases. A: We would love to consider your paper for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: Are Experimental Ideas & Implementations papers presented in separate sessions? A: No. In the spirit of promoting new and stimulating ideas, all papers will be presented alongside in sessions that fit their topic.
