Eurographics 2008 Workshop on
3D object retrieval
(http://www.iit.demokritos.gr/~egw3dor/)
April 15, 2008
Crete, GREECE
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, both of a single class (such as human faces) and across
classes.
The aim of this workshop is to stimulate researchers from different fields
(computer vision, computer graphics, machine learning and human-computer
interaction) who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present
state-of-the-art work in the field and thus provide a cross-fertilization
ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important
research area.
Topics
Topics of interest include but are not limited to :
o Invariant 2D / 3D feature extraction
o Biologically inspired 3D representations
o Mesh segmentation
o Relevance feedback
o Active learning
o Ontology-driven search
o Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization
o Indexing methodologies
o Applications in Multimedia industry, CAD industry, Games industry,
Biometrics, e-Science, e-Learning, Medicine, Culture.
o Benchmarking issues
The proceedings of the Workshop will be published in the Eurographics
Proceedings Series and on the Eurographics Digital Library. The authors of
selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions for publication
in a peer-reviewed Journal.
Important Dates
Submission deadline: Monday, January 7th, 2008 (24:00 GMT)

The International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR), the Spanish
Association for Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis (AERFAI) and the
Mathematics and Computer Science Department of UIB are organising the
fifth international conference AMDO 2008 that will take place in Puerto
de Andratx, Mallorca. This conference is the natural evolution of AMDO's
previous workshops. The new goal of this conference is to promote
interaction
and collaboration among researchers working directly in the areas covered by
the main tracks. The new perceptual user interfaces and the emerging
technologies
increase the relation between areas involved with human-computer
interaction. The
new perspective of the AMDO 2008 conference will be to strengthen the
relationship
between the many areas that have as key point the study of the human body
using
computer technologies as the main tool.
It is a great opportunity to encourage links between research in the areas
of
computer vision, computer graphics, advanced multimedia applications and
multimodal interfaces that share common problems and frequently use similar
techniques or tools. In this particular edition the related topics are
divided
in several parallel tracks, including the topics above proposed.
AMDO 2008 will consist of three days of lecture sessions, both regular and
invited presentations, a poster session and international tutorials. The
conference fee (approx. 450,00 euro) includes a social program (conference
dinner, coffee breaks, snacks and cultural activities). Students and IAPR
members can register at a reduced fee.
PAPER SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS
Papers should describe original and unpublished work about the above or
closely related topics. Please submit your paper electronically at our
website (see URL above) using the software provided. All submissions
should be in Adobe Acrobat (pdf). The AMDO2008 secretariat must receive
your paper before February 22, 2008, 17:00 GMT (London time).

and Medical Science, University College Dublin on the 17th of December 2007.
Previous Eurographics Irish
workshops have been very successful with many top international speakers and
researchers in attendance.
In recent times, the importance of graphics, visualisation and related
technologies in all sectors of Irish
society has increased rapidly. These technologies are not only relevant in
the games and film industries, but
also other areas such as medicine and biology. This year is the first year a
non-computer science institute is
hosting the conference, re-inforcing the multi-disciplinary nature of this
field of research. The special theme
will be "Humans: from the Inside Out ", but we hope to bring together a
diverse group of people interested in
the theory and applications of Computer Graphics and its intersection with
other areas, such as perception,
Games, Physics, Artificial Intelligence, audio and haptics. Please join us
in Dublin and help to promote the
exciting field of Graphics in Ireland.
Invited Speakers
Simon Mack / Torsten Reil, Natural Motion LTD.
Prof. Min Chen, Visual and Interactive Computing, University of Swansea, UK
