Call for papers

Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D/4D Object Retrieval. State-of-the-art papers on specific topics of interest are particularly welcome. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers and short papers. Full papers will be peer-reviewed by a two-stage review process, and published as a special section of the Computers & Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Short papers will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

• 3D shape analysis
• 3D shape similarity and matching
• 3D mesh sequence retrieval
• 3D mobile media retrieval
• 3D search in large scale data
• 3D object classification, indexing, and mining
• Similarity of non-rigid shapes
• Shape correspondence
• 3D shape decomposition, and segmentation
• Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching
• Matching under uncertainty and noise
• Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification
• Sketch-based 3D retrieval
• Query interfaces and search modalities
• Benchmarking issues
• Deep learning for 3D shape retrieval
• Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorisation
• Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment
• Applications in all areas relevant to 3D/4D objects, including multimedia and information systems, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage, among others.

Submission instructions

Full papers

Authors must submit full track and full symposium papers to the Editorial Manager for Computers & Graphics. Please select VSI: 3DOR2024 when you reach the "Article Type" step in the submission process. For further information and the appropriate template files please see the C&G guide for authors.

Short papers

Authors must submit short track and short symposium papers via the Eurographics SRMv2. Authors should aim for their papers to be 8 pages or less. Please see the information about the guidelines for publishing through Eurographics. Further information using Eurographics SRMv2 can be found on the Wiki.
