About 3DOR
The International Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR) is the premier venue for researchers and practitioners to share state-of-the-art methods, novel applications, and theoretical advancements in the field of 3D data management, searching, and retrieval.
Following the success of previous years, 3DOR 2026 seeks contributions that push the boundaries of current methodologies, particularly those exploring the intersection of deep learning, generative models, and holistic 3D understanding.
Topics of Interest
We invite high-quality submissions on all aspects of 3D object retrieval, similarity assessment, and understanding. Relevant topics include, but are not limited to:
Novel Retrieval Paradigms
* Multimodal 3D Retrieval: Querying 3D models using text, sketches, images, audio, or other modalities.
* Learning-Based Retrieval: Deep learning, contrastive learning, and self-supervised methods for 3D shape embeddings.
* Generative Models for Retrieval: Using foundation models (e.g., LLMs/VLMs) for 3D retrieval and synthesis-by-query.
* Category-Agnostic and Zero/Few-Shot Retrieval: Methods that generalize across object categories with limited data.
* Semantic Segmentation and Scene Graph Generation in service of retrieval.
Core 3D Data Representation and Similarity
* 3D shape descriptors, feature extraction, and indexing techniques.
* Geometry-based matching (point clouds, meshes, volumetric data).
* Topology-based similarity and functional shape analysis.
* Part-based retrieval and structural matching.
* Handling of deformable, articulated, and non-rigid shapes.
Systems, Applications, and Evaluation
* Interactive 3D search systems and user-centric evaluation metrics.
* Benchmarking, datasets, and ground-truth creation for 3D retrieval.
* Retrieval for specialized domains (e.g., medical imaging, cultural heritage, industrial CAD).
* Large-scale 3D data management and efficient retrieval systems.
* Real-time and lightweight retrieval algorithms for AR/VR applications.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must present original, unpublished work not currently under review elsewhere.
* Format: Submissions must follow the standard C&G guide for authors<https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/computers-and-graphics> (LaTeX recommended).
* Length: Full papers should not exceed 12 pages (excluding references). Short papers (for ongoing work or novel applications) should not exceed 6 pages.
* Anonymity: We employ a double-blind review process. Authors must anonymize their submissions by removing all identifying information (names, affiliations, funding sources, etc.). Self-citations should be handled in the third person.

Dear colleagues,
this is a final reminder regarding the Eurographics 2026 Short Papers track.
Short papers (up to four pages) provide a venue for concise, self-contained contributions across all areas of computer graphics. Accepted papers will be published in the Eurographics Digital Library and presented at the conference in Aachen.
If you have solid results that do not require a full-length treatment, or work you have recently refined after full paper reviews, the short paper track may be a good fit.
The submission deadline is January 16, 23:59 UTC.
Further details and submission instructions can be found here:
https://eg2026.github.io/call_for_short_papers/
We would be glad to see your work in the submission pool.

==================================================
“FULL PAPERS”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission: research papers with a maximum length of 10 pages.
Full paper submissions must present original research, practical contributions, innovative applications, or experience reports. It must be written in English. During the conference, one of the authors will give an oral presentation describing the selected work. The presentation may be delivered in either English or Spanish, but the slides must be in English.
The review process is double-blind, so submitted papers must be fully anonymous. All direct or indirect references to the authors or their affiliations must be removed.
Papers that reviewers highlight for their high-quality in their current form may be selected for publication in a special section of the Computers & Graphics journal. Following the reviewers’ recommendations, the final selection will be made by the Program Chairs together with an Associate Editor of the journal. Selected articles will undergo an additional major review cycle before final acceptance for journal publication. A short version of the paper (maximum 4 pages) will also be included in the CEIG’25 Conference Proceedings.
Papers that reviewers identify as high-quality and are within the journal scope may be selected for publication in a special section of the Graphical Models journal. Following the reviewers’ recommendations, the final selection will be made by the Program Chairs and an Associate Editor of the journal. These articles must include a 30% extension of new content and will undergo an additional major review cycle before final acceptance for journal publication. The original version will be included in the CEIG’25 Conference Proceedings and must be cited in the extended journal version.
Accepted papers not selected for publication in the journals will be included by default in the CEIG’25 Conference Proceedings, which will be published in Open Access in the Eurographics Digital Library (EG Digital Library) with a DOI. Authors may choose to opt out of publication in the conference proceedings (see “ABSTRACT WITH PRESENTATION” MODALITY”).
“SHORT PAPERS”
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission: papers with a maximum length of 4 pages.
Short paper submissions may present recent results, work in progress, or new ideas. It must be written in English. During the conference, one of the authors will give an oral presentation describing the selected work. The presentation may be delivered in either English or Spanish, but the slides must be in English. This presentation will be shorter than those allocated to full papers. The review process is double-blind, so submitted papers must be fully anonymous. All direct or indirect references to the authors or their affiliations must be removed.
Accepted short papers will be included in the CEIG’25 Conference Proceedings, which will be published in Open Access in the Eurographics Digital Library (EG Digital Library) with a DOI. Authors may choose to opt out of publication in the conference proceedings (see “ABSTRACT WITH PRESENTATION” MODALITY”).
“ABSTRACT WITH PRESENTATION” MODALITY:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission: as Full or Short papers, selecting “abstract with presentation” during the submission process.
Authors may choose for their work (title and abstract) to appear in the conference program and be presented like any other contribution, while not being included in the official proceedings as a full or short paper. This option is particularly useful for work in progress that authors intend to submit to another conference or journal at a later stage.
This year, authors selecting this modality will have a presentation slot during the conference, where attendees may ask questions and provide feedback to help improve the final version of the work. Submissions will undergo a full and identical review process to that of all other CEIG paper submissions.
In addition, this year this modality requires the publication of a 1–2 page extended abstract in the CEIG’25 Conference Proceedings, which will be published in Open Access in the Eurographics Digital Library (EG Digital Library) with a DOI.
“ALREADY PUBLISHED PAPERS”
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Submission: abstract and reference to the original work (in original format) .
The CEIG conference serves as a meeting point for the Computer Graphics community in Spain. For this reason, the conference welcomes the presentation of recent, high-quality papers that have already been published in other conferences or journals. These works will appear in the conference program and will be presented orally like the rest of the CEIG contributions, but they will not be included in their original form in the official conference proceedings.
“POSTERS”
------------------------------------
Submission: one or two-page summary
This modality is intended for works presenting recent results, work in progress, new ideas, or other projects of interest to the community that may be too speculative or incomplete for a full paper presentation. Poster submissions can include original or already published works, academic projects (Bachelor, Master, or PhD theses), or industrial projects, whether completed or in progress. Authors are encouraged to include a QR code linking to a video demonstration of the work, and interactive demonstrations during the poster session are strongly welcomed whenever possible.
The main objective of this modality is to enhance the visibility and dissemination of the work. It provides an open and informal space for discussion among conference participants. This year, special emphasis is placed on participation from both academic (universities) and non-academic profiles (companies or research centers working on topics related to the conference).
Accepted posters will be exhibited throughout the conference. A fast-forward session on the first day will allow authors to briefly introduce their posters, followed by a dedicated session where authors can present their work in detail to conference attendees.
Additionally, this year this modality requires the publication of a 1–2 page extended abstract along with the poster in the CEIG’25 Conference Proceedings, which will be published in Open Access in the Eurographics Digital Library (EG Digital Library) with a DOI.
