The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to
acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics in the medical field,
and to encourage further development. Originally called "Eurographics
Medical Prize", the competition was renamed to "Dirk Bartz Prize for
Visual Computing in Medicine" in 2010 -- in honor of Dirk Bartz who
passed away far too early in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly
recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual
Computing in Medicine; furthermore, he was an active member of the
Eurographics Association and Chair of the EG Medical Prize in 2007 and
2009.
== Call ==
Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine
2019 are being invited from researchers and developers who can
demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical application has
resulted from the use of visual computing technology that they have
produced/developed. We welcome submissions from all areas of visual
computing -- examples include the use of new data visualization
techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments.
Entries typically summarize a body of research and/or development that
has been conducted over the course of a project, PhD thesis, etc. and
particular weight is put on demonstrating the medical impact of the
work.
== Winners ==
The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual
Computing in Medicine 2019 will receive a prize and their submission
will be published in the "Short Papers and Medical Prize Awards" digital
media proceedings. The judging panel will select the winning entry on
the basis of its clinical value, use of visual computing methods, and
novelty. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to present
their results at Eurographics 2019, which means that at least one author
of each winning team must attend to present the results.
The Hall of Fame documents previous recipients of the prize:

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019 (3DOR'19)
***********************************************************
A co-event of Eurographics 2019

Workshop dates: May 5-6, 2019
***********************************************************
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 modelling 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 2019
will be the 12th 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). State of the arts papers on
specific topics of interest in the workshop are also welcome and may exceed
the 8 pages limit.
All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library.
Extended and revised versions of selected full papers will be considered for
publication in a special section of the Computers and Graphics Journal
(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 (end of June 2019) and reviewer continuity will be aimed for.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
3D shape analysis
3D shape similarity and matching
3D mesh sequence retrieval
3D mobile media retrieval
3D search in large scale data
3D object classification, indexing, and mining
Similarity of non-rigid shapes
Shape correspondence
3D shape decomposition, and segmentation
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
