CFP : SHREC 2016_Track on Partial Shape Queries for 3D Object Retrieval

by eurographics＠eg.org

SHREC 2016: Track on Partial Shape Queries for 3D Object Retrieval ( <http://vc.ee.duth.gr/shrec16/> http://vc.ee.duth.gr/shrec16/) Overview Despite numerous recent efforts, 3D object retrieval based on partial shape queries remains a challenging problem, far from being solved. The problem can be defined as: given a partial view of a shape as query, retrieve all partially similar 3D models from a repository. The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of partial 3D object retrieval methods, for partial shape queries of various qualities and degrees of partiality. Datasets The dataset used for evaluation is related to the cultural heritage domain and consists of 3D pottery models originating from the Virtual Hampson Museum collection ( <http://hampson.cast.uark.edu> http://hampson.cast.uark.edu). The dataset consists of 383 models classified to 6 distinct geometrically defined classes (bottle, bowl, jar, effigy, lithics and others). The partial shape queries are provided in 3 different forms: (i) artificial queries created by slicing and cap filling of the complete 3D models, (ii) real high quality queries, obtained with the smartSCAN Breuckmann scanner, (iii) real low quality queries, obtained with Microsoft Kinect V2 sensor. In the case of (ii) and (iii), the queries were created by scanning derivative vessels that have been constructed by a professional potter using the Hampson models as a template. For all 3 forms, queries are provided for multiple degrees of partiality. Task and procedure Prospective participants are expected to: . send an e-mail to ipratika(at)ee.duth.gr until the registration deadline (February 8, 2016), in order to confirm their participation. All group members and their affiliations should be indicated, . submit a distance matrix for each retrieval setting. Each such setting is associated with one of the 3 different forms of queries, with a specified degree of partiality. Each matrix might be the result of a different algorithm, or a different parameter setting. It is not mandatory for each group to address all 3 forms of queries. Detailed information on the distance matrix file format will be provided soon, . submit one or many runs. . provide a one-page description of the testing method. Each method will be evaluated based on its distance matrices, using standard retrieval scores (nearest neighbor, first tier, second tier, etc). The track results will be presented into a joint paper, to be published in the proceedings of EG 3DOR 2016. Timeline January 13 - Call for participation January 25 - Sample partial 3D queries and targets will be available online February 8 - Registration deadline February 12 - Distribution of the 3D partial query set February 22 - Submission of the results and one-page description March 15 - Track paper submission for review April 1 - Camera-ready track paper submission May 7-8 - EG 3DOR Workshop, including SHREC' 2016 Organizers Ioannis Pratikakis - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Michalis Savelonas - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Fotis Arnaoutoglou - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Anestis Koutsoudis - Athena RC, Greece Theoharis Theoharis - NTNU, Norway

SHREC 2016 - Call for Track Proposals

by eurographics＠eg.org

SHREC 2016 Call for Track Proposals Introduction The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC'16 is the eleventh edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics 2016 Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and included in the workshop proceedings. 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 Eurographics 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. 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 (i.e. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or domain specific models (i.e. CAD, biometrics, architectural and protein), 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 contestants, and submitting it. See the <http://www.shrec.net/> SHREC page for examples of organizational aspects of previous tracks. Procedure The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities: 1. Potential track organizers send their proposal to shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, and expected number of participants; 2. Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC web page, the track organizers start working out the details 3. Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in; 4. Each track is performed according to its own schedule; 5. The track organizers collect the results; 6. The track results are combined into a joint paper, to be included in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval; 7.
