SHREC 2018, http://www.shrec.net/
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'18 is the thirteens
edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction
with the Eurographics 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 2018, https://3dor2018.sites.uu.nl/. 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
(e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or
domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and protein),
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 contestants, and submitting it. See the
SHREC home page http://www.shrec.net/ for examples of organizational aspects
of previous tracks.
*Procedure*
The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:
. Potential track organizers send their proposal to shrec(a)cs.uu.nl
<mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> , describing the envisioned task, collection,
queries, ground truth, evaluation method, and expected number of

http://2018.visualheritage.org
With the aim of continuing the successful experience of Digital Heritage
2013 (Marseille, France) and Digital Heritage 2015 (Granada, Spain), the
next edition of the EG GCH Symposium will be organized in cooperation with
CHNT (Cultural Heritage and New Technologies) in Vienna. The aim of this
federated event is again to bring different communities in the same venue,
to share experiences and discuss methodologies concerning digital visual
media and their use in the context of cultural heritage applications.
We are looking for a wide participation of our community, as well as the
collaboration and inclusion of other structured communities and events,
since Visual Heritage 2018 is aimed as an open circle (please contact the
organizers at visualheritage2108(a)gmail.com
<mailto:visualheritage2108@gmail.com> if you are an organization/community
interested in joining us).
The 2018 edition will be a special event, since 2018 has been declared by
the European Commission the "European Year of Cultural Heritage". The event
in Vienna will also take place during the Austrian term as President of the
EC. Therefore, VH2018 will be an ideal context for discussing European
policies on digital heritage and digital humanities.
Visual Heritage 2018 will have independent call of papers for each event
contributing to the program.
The EG GCH 2018 program will be based on a call for papers that will
include:

3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series
------------------------------------------------
Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with
information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a
new wave of information is underway: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and
powerful modeling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing
audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and
size. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D repositories and retrieving
the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to
develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections;
creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient
storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical
aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity
concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization
techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and
algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search, and
navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are
drawing increasing attention from the research community.
The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from
different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine
Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or
are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present
state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in
discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate
discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2017
will be the 10th workshop in this series.
Call for Papers
--------------------
