3DOR 2020 Final CFP

by Eurographics Mailing List

========================================================= 13th Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2020 (3DOR'20) ========================================================= in Cooperation with Eurographics (pending) and Elsevier September 4-5, 2020 Graz University of Technology, Austria https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020 ========================================================= Update regarding COVID-19 situation: -------------- We realize the difficulty posed to authors by the current situation, with most of us striving to keep healthy and other tasks take a lesser priority. Travelling has become particularly challenging. At the same time, we intend to keep the 3DOR Workshop alive and uphold its 12-year history. We were particularly encouraged by the 10 SHREC tracks that are being organized this year. We are thus taking the following steps: One month extension to the full paper deadline based on a 2-stage submission: abstract by the original deadline of 3rd April 2020 and full paper by 3rd May 2020. Applies also to SHREC papers. Enable on-line participation for authors that cannot physically make it to Graz in September. New this year: -------------- In 2020, full paper submissions will follow a two-stage review process and will be published in Computes & Graphics (Elsevier). 3DOR is the dedicated workshop series for methods, applications and benchmark-based evaluation of 3D object retrieval, classification, and similarity-based object processing. The workshop also includes the 2020 edition of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest, keynotes, project presentations, and a social and networking event. Short papers will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library (pending). Important Dates: SHREC Shape Retrieval Contest Timeline ---------------------------------------------------------------- 21 February - 03 May: Running of SHREC tracks 03 April: Abstract submission 03 May: Full paper submission For more information, please see http://www.shrec.net/ Important Dates: Full Paper Submissions for Computers & Graphics ---------------------------------------------------------------- 03 April: Abstract submission 03 May: Full paper submission 01 June: First decision 22 June: First revision 29 June: Second decision 12 July: Final version submission 19 July: Final decision September 2020: Online publication Important Dates: Short Paper Submission for EG Digital Library -------------------------------------------------------------- 01 June: Short paper submission 15 July: Short paper notification 30 July: Short Paper final version submission 01 September 2020: Online publication 4-5 September 2020: Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2020 (3DOR) 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series ----------------------------------- From the very beginning, the aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers to present state-of-the-art work, learn about or discuss topics in the field 3D object retrieval, search and exploration in a multi-disciplinary context of expertise such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. 3DOR provides a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2020 will be the 13th workshop in this series. Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. 3D digital content is today pervasive: 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. Time-dependant acquisition, animation and simulation give rise to 3D objects as a function of time, yielding 4D objects. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D/4D object 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, which is becoming more and more varied in terms of disciplines needed to solve various facets of the challenges. The 3DOR Workshop series has been characterized since the beginning by a specific attention to benchmarking with the organization of the session on the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC). The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval methods and algorithms. SHREC 2020 is the 15th edition of the contest. As in previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval. Results papers from SHREC tracks will be reviewed in a two stage-review process, like regular full papers (see below). A separate call for participation in SHREC will be issued shortly. Call for Papers --------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D/4D Object Retrieval. State of the art papers on specific topics of interest are particularly welcome. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers, which will be peer-reviewed by a two-stage review process, and published as a special section of Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Also, short papers are invited, which will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library (pending). Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 3D/4D shape analysis 3D/4D shape similarity and matching 3D/4D mesh sequence retrieval 3D/4D mobile media retrieval 3D/4D search in large scale data 3D/4D object classification, indexing, and mining Similarity of non-rigid shapes Shape correspondence 3D/4D shape decomposition, and segmentation Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching Matching under uncertainty and noise Semantics-driven 3D/4D object retrieval and classification Sketch-based retrieval Query interfaces and search modalities Benchmarking issues Deep learning for 3D/4D shape retrieval Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment Applications in all areas relevant to 3D/4D objects, including multimedia and information systems, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage, among others.

Jobs: 15 PhD position in MSCA-ITN-ETN CLIPE

by Eurographics Mailing List

We are pleased to announce 15 PhD research positions within the MSCA-ITN-ETN CLIPE (Creating Lively Interactive Populated Environments) CLIPE ( http://clipe-itn.eu/ ) is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the framework of Horizon 2020, starting on March 1st, 2020 with a four-year duration. The network consists of 9 universities/research centers and 5 industrial partners. The primary objective of CLIPE is to train a generation of innovators and researchers in the field of virtual characters simulation and animation. Advances in technology are pushing towards making VR/AR worlds a daily experience. Whilst virtual characters are an important component of these worlds, bringing them to life and giving them interaction and communication abilities requires highly specialized programming combined with artistic skills, and considerable investments: millions spent on countless coders and designers to develop video-games is a typical example. The research objective of CLIPE is to design the next-generation of VR-ready characters. CLIPE is addressing the most important current aspects of the problem, making the characters capable of: * behaving more naturally; * interacting with real users sharing a virtual experience with them; * being more intuitively and extensively controllable for virtual worlds designers. To meet our objectives, the CLIPE consortium gathers some of the main European actors in the field of VR/AR, computer graphics, computer animation, psychology and perception. CLIPE also extends its partnership to key industrial actors of populated virtual worlds, giving students the ability to explore new application fields and start collaborations beyond academia. Starting date is by September 2020. For more information about the project can be found in the attached file, and in the project web site: <http://clipe-itn.eu/> http://clipe-itn.eu/

Eurographics/Eurovis 2020 Conference: virtual meeting

by Eurographics Mailing List

Dear Eurographics members, Due to the current coronavirus pandemic the Eurographics Executive Board and the EuroVis Steering Committee, in discussion with the conference organizing committee chairs Anders Ynnerman, Jonas Unger, Ingrid Hotz and Patric Ljung, have decided to hold EGEV, the joint Eurographics/EuroVis conference 2020, as a virtual meeting rather than a physical meeting. We understand that this will cause some disruption in travel plans, but we believe it to be a necessary decision. We are currently defining the details of the organization of the virtual-only conference, as we view it as essential that the authors of accepted submissions be given every opportunity to present their work. Once we have finalized the arrangements, we will post them on the EGEV 2020 website. Eurographics also plans to support all collocated workshops in virtual form, we are in the process of discussing arrangements with their Steering Committees. This will also be the case for all other workshops during this year that cannot happen physically due to the Corona crisis. We apologise for this unprecedented action, but it is now clear that these steps must be taken. If you have any questions about the process, please wait until we have posted details on the website, then contact either the conference organisers, myself as President or Hamish Carr as Secretary. We trust that you will all understand the situation, and look forward to seeing you at the earliest possible opportunity. - Oliver Deussen

Papers presenting original research are being sought in all areas of shape modeling and its applications. SMI 2020 will be co-located with the Symposium on Solid and Physical Modeling (SPM 2020) and the Fabrication and Sculpting Event (FASE 2020). FASE 2020 will present original research at the intersection of theory and practice in shape modeling, fabrication and sculpting. SMI2020 also participates in the <http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/> Replicability Stamp Initiative, an additional recognition for authors who are willing to go one step further, and in addition to publishing the paper, provide a complete open-source implementation. For more details, check <https://smi2020.sciencesconf.org/> the SMI2020 website. We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics: * Acquisition & reconstruction * Behavior and animation models * Compression & streaming * Computational topology * Correspondence & registration * Curves & surfaces * Deep Learning Techniques for Shape Processing * Digital Fabrication & 3D Printing * Exploration of shape collections * Feature extraction and classification * Healing & resampling * Implicit surfaces * Interactive modeling, design & editing * Medial and skeletal representations * Parametric & procedural models * Segmentation * Semantics of shapes * Shape analysis and retrieval * Shape correspondence and retrieval * Shape modeling applications (Biomedical, GIS, Artistic/cultural and others) * Shape statistics * Shape transformation, bending & deformation * Simulation * Sketching & 3D input modalities * Triangle and polygonal meshes * Shape modeling for 3D printing and fabrication * Biomedical applications * Artistic and cultural applications SUBMISSION: Papers should present previously unpublished, original results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere. The SMI 2020 conference will use a double-blind review process. Consequently, all submissions must be anonymous. All papers should be submitted using <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SMI_2020> the SRM website.
