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

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

Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.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).

All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library.

*This year, extended versions of the full papers will be submitted for a dedicated special issue of Computers and Graphics published by Elsevier.

The deadline for this special issue has been set to June 9th 2017.*

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

- 3D shape analysis

- 3D shape 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

- Shape correspondence

- Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation

- Multi-scale 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

- Deep learning for 3D shape 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 year’s workshop will also feature the 12th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC’2017).
