3rd Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval: Call for Participation

by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Participation 3rd Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval ------------------------------------------------- 2nd May 2010, Norrköping, Sweden http://www-rech.telecom-lille1.eu/3dor http://www.eurographics2010.se/coevents/ 3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology, and medicine. The rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software development, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation and manipulation, giving the opportunity to experience applications using 3D models to a large user community. As the number of 3D models is continuously growing fast, the problem of creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing 3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories. The 3rd Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval will stimulate researchers from different fields (computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning and human-computer interaction) to work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval. It will thus provide a cross-fertilization ground fostering the next steps in this important research area. The workshop program features a set of exciting paper and poster presentations addressing shape descriptor definition; view- and part-based retrieval; feature selection and learning; and face retrieval and benchmarking. The workshop hosts the Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC'10) which plays an important role in the evolution of 3D Object Retrieval research. Presentations of contest participants will detail the results of the competition, demonstrating the state of the art in important 3D retrieval tasks. ================================= Accepted Full Papers ================================= Robust Volumetric Shape Descriptor Raif Rustamov A Robust 3D Interest Points Detector Based on Harris Operator Ivan Sipiran, Benjamin Bustos Semantic-Driven Approach for Automatic Selection of Best Views of 3D Shapes Hamid Laga The Fast Reject Schema for Part-in-Whole 3D Shape Matching Marco Attene, Simone Marini, Michela Spagnuolo, Bianca Falcidieno Feature Selection for Enhanced Spectral Shape Comparison Simone Marini, Giuseppe Patane, Michela Spagnuolo, Bianca Falcidieno Learning the Compositional Structure of Man-Made Objects for 3D Shape Retrieval Raoul Wessel, Reinhard Klein 3D Facial Expression Recognition using Minimal-Redundancy Maximal-Relevance SIFT Features Stefano Berretti, Boulbaba Ben Amor, Mohamed Daoudi, Alberto del Bimbo Fast Human Classification of 3D Object Benchmarks Jonathan Corney, William Regli ================================= Accepted Posters ================================= 3D Shape Classification Based on Multi-scale Integral OrientationsAsim Wagan, Stephane Bres, Afzal Godil 3D Object Recognition and Person Facial Identification Using Time-averaged Single-views from Time-of-flight 3D Depth-CameraFabien Moutarde, Hui Ding, Ayet Shaiek A New Functionality-based Benchmark for Basic CAD Model RetrievalKaimo Hu, Bin Wang, Yi Gao, Dong Li, Junhai Yong Shape Similarity Assessment Approach for CAD Models Based on Graph Edit DistanceBin Wang, Dong Li, Kaimo Hu, Hui Zhang ================================= SHREC'2010 - SHape REtrieval Contest 2010 List of Tracks ================================= Protein ModelsOrganizers: Lazaros Mavridis, Vishwesh Venkatraman, David W.

Computational Aesthetics 2010: Call for Posters

by Stefanie Behnke

Computational Aesthetics 2010 Call for Posters Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic by integrating aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviours. CAe also investigates the creation of tools that can enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and furthers our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. The conference brings together individuals with technical experience of developing computer based tools to solve aesthetic problems and people with artistic/design backgrounds who use these new tools. Invited talks will be given by technical, theoretical and artistic/design figures. The talks will help participants better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently capable of and, equally, to fully appreciate what is involved in artistic design and creative process. Poster submissions are an opportunity to present and discuss work in progress without publication. Technical, artistic and posters that mix the two are all welcome. Suggested topics cover similar ground to the technical papers, but are not limited to it. Examples include a.. computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour (AI, A-life); b.. artistic image transformation techniques (colours, edges, patterns, dithering); c.. image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others); d.. visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based); e.. sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive); f.. composition, visual balance, layout; g.. non-photorealistic rendering; h.. empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes; and i.. applied visual perception (colour appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects). j.. measuring and describing aesthetics and k.. computational tools for artists Submission Posters will be of up to size A0. Poster authors should submit an extended abstract or a description to accompany their work; no more than 2 sides of A4 in length. The style files for standard papers should be used. Accepted abstracts (descriptions) will be included as part of the electronic conference proceedings, but will not be included in in the paper proceedings so will not be formally published. The work should submitted directly to the posters chair: pmh(a)cs.bath.ac.uk, in PDF format. Important Dates Submission deadline: March 12, 2010 Acceptance notification: April 12, 2010
