CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
SHREC2020 - 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge 2020
At Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval.
<https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020/>
Contact: shrec(a)cs.uu.nl <mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl>
New this year: In 2020, full SHREC papers will follow a two-stage review
process and will be published in the international journal Computes
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/> & Graphics upon
acceptance.
Introduction
The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the
effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC2020 is the fifteenth
edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction
with the Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval. 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.
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 Workshop 3D Object Retrieval. 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.

focus on the latter. The work will be carried out as part of a larger
collaboration, involving a rehabilitation clinic, a leading international
company developing robotic rehabilitation solutions, the VASCage
research center, and the university of applied sciences MCI.
The position is open immediately until filled. It is offered on the
level of a non-permanent research student for three years.

Full-time position
with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Lab at the University of
Bremen, Germany,
Salary is according to the German Federal pay scale, TV-L 13, full-time
(100%).
The goal of this project it to research and develop novel methods for
autonomous navigation that will allow ambitious space missions in the
future, and which can also be transferred into terrestrial applications. The
overall focus of the project, which involves a number of partners, will
build on the results of a previous project that laid some groundwork for
autonomous space navigation.
The position advertised here will mainly work on algorithms and methods in
the area of geometric computing and virtual reality. In particular, the
simulation of bi-static radar imaging, simulation of gravity fields, its
inverse problem, distance computations between spacecraft and surface, and
asteroid geometry generation are the focus of this position.
You can find more details about the project and how to apply at
https://cgvr.cs.uni-bremen.de/jobs/
Dear colleagues,
We have an open Ph.D. position in the field of computational
fabrication. More precisely, we are interested in developing new algorithms
for designing and fabricating objects with the prescribed appearance and
tactile properties. The position is fully-funded with a competitive salary
in line with Swiss universities. The starting date is flexible. The priority
will be given to candidates who send their application until March 31, 2020.
