!! FINAL REMINDER !!
PAPER SUBMISSION : FEBRUARY 20, 2015
========================================
Do you remember the days when retrieving the data that you needed from the
internet was a matter of visiting sites your friends knew? The days when you
would try out alternative search engines to find a single result? Was it a
coincidence that text retrieval engines flourished with the explosion of
textual information on the internet that could not be manually explored?
A new wave of information is now underway. Low-cost 3D scanners and 3D
printers combined with popular applications of Computer Graphics and Vision
are making 3D object models appeal to an increasing audience. See for
example repositories such as <http://shapes.aimatshape.net/>
http://shapes.aimatshape.net/ , <https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/>
https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/.
As these 3D object collections are growing, the importance of effective
retrieval, search and exploration is increasing. Because it is easier to
find something than to create it from scratch and because manual browsing
quickly becomes intractable as a collection grows.
To this effect it is crucial to develop algorithms for the content-based
searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate
descriptors for 3D objects; indexing 3D objects; creating efficient storage
structures for data bases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects
of practical importance such as what it means for two shapes to be similar;
interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for
3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms. Many
fields of Computer Science and beyond can offer their valuable knowledge to
this complex but highly interesting and practical problem.
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 2015will
be the 8th workshop in this series.
3DOR 2015 will be a 2-day event for the first time and will contain the
following tracks: research papers, posters, 2 keynote speeches (NEW!), EU
project presentations and networking (NEW!), industrial session (NEW!).
Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and
application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions
are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers
presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages).
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- 3D object similarity and matching
- 3D video retrieval
- 3D mobile media retrieval
- 3D object retrieval and Web3D
- 3D search in large scale data
- Personalized 3D search
- 3D object classification, indexing, and mining
- Similarity of non-rigid shapes
- Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation
- Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval
- Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching
- Matching under uncertainty and noise
- Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification
- Sketch-based retrieval
- Query interfaces and search modalities
- Benchmarking issues
- Relevance feedback methods
- Active learning
- Statistical techniques for 3D shape analysis and retrieval
- Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization
- Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics,
e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage.
This years workshop will also feature the 10th Shape Retrieval Evaluation
Contest ( SHREC2015 - <http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/shrec/>
http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/shrec/ )
It is planned to have extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop
appearing, after a further review, in a special issue of an international
journal. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues
of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal.
