Dear Colleagues:

You are invited to participate in the 6th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval as a co-event of the 34th Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2013). The workshop will take place on May 11, 2013 in Girona, Spain.

The workshop will feature an exciting scientific program including a Keynote by Prof. Henning Mueller on Medical 3D Data Retrieval; a set of research paper and poster presentations; track reports from the 8th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC’2013); and a social event.

Please see the workshop webpage at http://3dor2013.di.univr.it/ for continually updated details on the tentative program, registration, workshop location and accommodation in Girona. We recommended to book accommodation early on.

Please note also that Eurographics has kindly extended their early bird registration deadline for attendees of 3DOR until March 31, 2013. For EG registration details, please go to http://eg2013.udg.edu/registration.shtml.

Looking forward to see you in Girona in May 11, 2013!

3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series

--------------------------------------------

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 various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine.

The rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, 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 aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as 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. This provides a cross-fertilization ground that stimulates discussions on the next steps in this important research area.
