The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge is to evaluate the
effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms.

23%2Fshrec2023&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw2FP14szlBN91Fa_G70DSZm> SHREC2023 is
the eighteenth edition of the challenge. Like previous years, it is
organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object
Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and presented at the
symposium.
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
training and 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 peer reviewed, and published in Computers & Graphics upon acceptance. At
least one author per track must register for the symposium, and present the
results. The registration must be unique for the paper, multiple papers on
one registration does not count. We also cordially invite all other
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
(e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or
domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and molecular),
and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection,
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 collaborators, and submitting it. See below
for examples of previous SHREC editions. We strongly encourage to consider
the graphics replicability stamp initiative,
<http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/> http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, to
apply for this additional sign of recognition, and to include this in your
track proposal.
Procedure
The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:
* Potential track organizers send their proposal to
<mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task,
collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, expected number of

Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2023 (Eurographics Medical Prize)
The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition, to acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics and visualization techniques in medicine and life sciences, and to encourage further development. Originally called “Eurographics Medical Prize”, the competition was renamed to “Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine” in 2010—in honor of Dirk Bartz, who passed away in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher, and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine; furthermore, he was an active member of the Eurographics Association, and Chair of the EG Medical Prize, in 2007 and 2009. Before, the prize was co-located with the Eurographics Conference. Since 2021, it is co-located with EuroVis and it is broadened to include contributions in life sciences.
Important Dates
Submission Deadline: February 10, 2023 (Friday)
Notification: March 31, 2023 (Friday)
Camera-Ready: April 14, 2023 (Friday)
Talk at Conference and Award: June 12-16, 2023
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated.
Call
Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2023 are being invited from researchers and developers, who can demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical/life sciences application has resulted from the use of visual computing technology that they have produced/developed. We welcome submissions from all areas of visual computing—examples include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. Entries typically summarize a body of research and/or development that has been conducted over the course of a project, PhD thesis, etc. and weight is put on demonstrating the medical/life sciences impact of the work.
Winners
The judging panel will select the winning entry, based on its medical/life sciences value, use of visual computing methods, and novelty. The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2023 will receive a prize and their submission will be published in the EG Digital Library. All three winning teams will have an opportunity to present their results at EuroVis 2023, which means that at least one author of each winning team must register and attend, to present the results.
The <https://www.eg.org/wp/eurographics-awards-programme/other-eg-awards/dirk-ba…> Hall of Fame documents previous recipients of the prize.
Co-chairs
Renata Georgia Raidou, TU Wien, Austria
Torsten W. Kuhlen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany
For any questions concerning prize submissions please contact the prize co-chairs at: <mailto:dbprize@eurovis.org> dbprize(at)eurovis.org.
Submission Guidelines
Submissions will be made electronically through the Precision Conference System.
Submitted written entries have to be prepared as papers of up to 4 pages (+1 extra page for references) and must be formatted according to the <https://conferences.eg.org/eurovis2023/wp-content/uploads/sites/17/2022/11/…> conference template .
The submission of complementary material like videos, demo applications, and references to additional publications of the authors, theses, etc. is highly welcome.
The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2023 will be held in Genova, Italy on 3-5 July, 2023. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on 1-2 July.
SGP is the premier venue for disseminating research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are developed and applied to offer insights into and to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections.
We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics:
* Acquisition and reconstruction
* Analysis and fabrication for 3D printing
* Architectural geometry
* Computational geometry
* Differentiable rendering
* Discrete differential geometry
* Exploration of shape collections
* Geometry and topology data structures and representations
* Geometry compression
* Geometric deep learning
* Geometric representations for machine learning
* Geometry processing applications
* Interactive techniques
* Meshing and remeshing
* Multiresolution modeling
* Multimodal shape processing
* Neural shape representations
* Point cloud acquisition and processing
* Processing of massive geometric datasets
* Shape analysis and synthesis
* Simulation and animation
* Smoothing, filtering, and denoising
* Surface and volume parameterization and deformation
Dataset Papers
SGP encourages submission of dataset papers to the technical papers program. Geometric datasets play a critical role in evaluating the behavior of geometric algorithms, and in recent years they have provided challenging examples that have driven the field forward. We seek papers that build on this success by providing, documenting, and discussing datasets with larger, more challenging examples than those seen before—or datasets that capture new challenges in geometry processing.
The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular electronic issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions.

Awards and Recognitions
Following its traditions, SGP 2023 will attribute three best paper awards, a software award recognising the authors of an open-source software that has greatly influenced the field, and a data set award designed to acknowledge the suppliers of high quality datasets used in geometry processing. In addition, SGP may provide papers with the reproducibility stamp to recognise the effort of researchers who, in addition to publishing their paper at SGP 2023, provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm.
