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.

SBIM 2010 Call For Participation

by Stefanie Behnke

SBIM 2010 Call For Participation Created in 2004, the Eurographics Symposium on Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) provides a unique venue for researchers, students and practitioners interested in sketch-based techniques to interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results and discuss open issues. The goal of this symposium is to explore models, algorithms and technologies needed to enable effective sketch-based interfaces. It investigates novel methods for classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and the ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, from text, mathematics, and 2D diagrams to 3D shapes. Likewise, the symposium explores the application of sketch-based interfaces to 3D computer graphics, animation, and CAD, as well as other specific applications such as diagram editing and note taking and novel input devices. Finally, the symposium welcomes empirical user studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing them to other interaction techniques. This year, the symposium will be held in Annecy, France and will be co-located with the 8th Symposium on Non Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR 2010) and the Annecy film festival -- for more information see http://graphics.cs.williams.edu/sbim-npar10/ . The symposium will include paper presentations (single track), coffee breaks, demonstrations, a social event, and a keynote talk by (to be determined). All are welcome to attend SBIM; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Symposia series and made available online through the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries. Authors are invited to submit original papers on topics in pen-based 2D and 3D modeling, sketch recognition, and pen-based interface design, including, but not limited to: . Multimodal interfaces for sketching . Novel sketch input and editing devices . Novel pen-based interaction techniques . Low level ink processing and pen stroke segmentation . Sketch parsing, classification and recognition . Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems . Sketch-based modeling and editing of 3D shapes . Sketch-based control of animations .
