SHREC2023 call for track proposals

by Eurographics Mailing List

The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fview%2F3dor20 23%2Fshrec2023&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw2FP14szlBN91Fa_G70DSZm> SHREC2023 is the eighteenth edition of the challenge. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and presented at the symposium. 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 training and 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 peer reviewed, and published in Computers & Graphics upon acceptance. At least one author per track must register for the symposium, and present the results. The registration must be unique for the paper, multiple papers on one registration does not count. We also cordially invite all other 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 molecular), 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 collaborators, and submitting it. See below for examples of previous SHREC editions. We strongly encourage to consider the graphics replicability stamp initiative, <http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/> http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, to apply for this additional sign of recognition, and to include this in your track proposal. Procedure The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities: * Potential track organizers send their proposal to <mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, expected number of participants, and plans to apply for the graphics replicability stamp. * Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC web page, the track organizers start working out the details and recruiting participants. * Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in. * Each track is performed according to its own schedule, compliant with the worskop submission and reviewing schedule. * The track organizers collect the results. * The track results are combined into a joint paper. Papers are subject to peer review, accepted journal papers are published in Computers & Graphics. * The description of the tracks and their results are presented at the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, 31 August, 1 September 2023. SHREC Time Schedule Important dates * December 29, 2022: Submission deadline for track proposals. * December 30, 2022: Notification of acceptance of track proposals. * December 30, 2022 to March 28, 2023: Each track has its own time line. * March 28, 2023: Submission deadline for full paper for review. * April 20, 2023: First reviews done, first stage decision on acceptance or rejection. * May 20, 2023: First revision due. * June 16, 2023: Second stage of reviews complete, decision on acceptance or rejection. * June 30, 2023: Final version submission. * July 5, 2023: Final decision on acceptance or rejection. * August 31, 2021: Publication online in Computers & Graphics journal. * August 31, Sept 1, 20203: Presentation at the <https://www.google.com/url?q=https%3A%2F%2Fsites.google.com%2Fview%2F3dor20 23&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw19gLlm592oqEqr4VJjey4v> Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval The individual tracks will have their own time schedule for registration of participants, release of queries or submission of executables, and submission of results, etc. Organization For information about the contest, the results, etc. of previous years, see past events: <http://www.shrec.net/SHREC2022%20Call%20for%20Participation.html> SHREC 2022 <http://www.shrec.net/SHREC2021%20Call%20for%20Participation.html> SHREC 2021 <https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020/shrec2020.php> SHREC 2020 <http://3dor2019.ge.imati.cnr.it/shrec-2019/> SHREC 2019 <http://www.shrec.net/index2018-cfparticipation.html> SHREC 2018, <http://liris.cnrs.fr/eg3dor2017/#shrec> SHREC 2017, <http://www.shrec.net/index2016-cfparticipation.html> SHREC 2016, <https://www.shrec.net/index2015-cfparticipation.html> SHREC 2015, SHREC 2014 <http://3dor2014.ensea.fr/SHREC2014.html> , SHREC 2013 <http://3dor2013.di.univr.it/SCREC2013.html> For more information, please contact <mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> shrec(a)cs.uu.nl. _____ <mailto:R.C.Veltkamp@uu.nl> R.C.Veltkamp(a)uu.nl, <http://www.uu.nl/staff/RCVeltkamp> www.uu.nl/staff/RCVeltkamp Department of Information and Computing Sciences, Utrecht University, <http://www.cs.uu.nl> www.cs.uu.nl Center for Game Research, <http://www.gameresearch.nl/> www.gameresearch.nl _____

Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) 2023 Call for Papers

by Eurographics Mailing List

The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2023 will be held in Genova, Italy on 3-5 July, 2023. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on 1-2 July. SGP is the premier venue for disseminating research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are developed and applied to offer insights into and to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections. We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics: * Acquisition and reconstruction * Analysis and fabrication for 3D printing * Architectural geometry * Computational geometry * Differentiable rendering * Discrete differential geometry * Exploration of shape collections * Geometry and topology data structures and representations * Geometry compression * Geometric deep learning * Geometric representations for machine learning * Geometry processing applications * Interactive techniques * Meshing and remeshing * Multiresolution modeling * Multimodal shape processing * Neural shape representations * Point cloud acquisition and processing * Processing of massive geometric datasets * Shape analysis and synthesis * Simulation and animation * Smoothing, filtering, and denoising * Surface and volume parameterization and deformation Dataset Papers SGP encourages submission of dataset papers to the technical papers program. Geometric datasets play a critical role in evaluating the behavior of geometric algorithms, and in recent years they have provided challenging examples that have driven the field forward. We seek papers that build on this success by providing, documenting, and discussing datasets with larger, more challenging examples than those seen before—or datasets that capture new challenges in geometry processing. The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular electronic issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Conference website: https://sgp2023.github.io/ Paper submission via the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP_2023> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP_2023 Timeline: (Recommended) Abstract submission April 7, 2023, 23:59 UTC Paper submission April 12, 2023, 23:59 UTC Notification of acceptance May 31, 2023 Revised version due June 9, 2023, 23:59 UTC Camera ready due June 20, 2023, 23:59 UTC Graduate School July 1-2, 2023 Conference July 3–5, 2023 All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC/GMT. Awards and Recognitions Following its traditions, SGP 2023 will attribute three best paper awards, a software award recognising the authors of an open-source software that has greatly influenced the field, and a data set award designed to acknowledge the suppliers of high quality datasets used in geometry processing. In addition, SGP may provide papers with the reproducibility stamp to recognise the effort of researchers who, in addition to publishing their paper at SGP 2023, provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm. Technical Program co‑Chairs * Justin Solomon, (MIT) * Pooran Memari, (CNRS-LIX, Ecole Polytechnique) Graduate School co‑Chairs * Rana Hanocka, (University of Chicago) * Nico Pietroni, (University of Technology Sydney) Software & Dataset Awards Chair * Marc Alexa, Technische Universität Berlin
