9th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2016) Co-located event with Eurographics 2016 - May 7th-8th, Lisbon, Portugal web site: http://eg3dor2016.tecnico.ulisboa.pt
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers
The aim of the 3DOR workshop series is to offer a forum for discussion and interaction among researchers interested in 3D object retrieval, search and exploration, and favour the cross-fertilization between different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D object retrieval.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 and faceted 3D search
Navigation of hybrid datasets (e.g., 2D/3D datasets)
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 year’s workshop will also feature the 11th Shape Retrieval Contest (ShReC’2016). A separate call for participation will be issued later.
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.

Call for Position Papers
We invite authors to submit a proposal for a position papers on topics of interest to the EG Workshop on 3DOR. As many challenges in 3D object retrieval, search and exploration lie at the boundary between different disciplines, we encourage contributions from different fields, such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction.
Position papers are expected to present an opinion about an issue, without the need to present full research and/or experimental results.
Nonetheless, we encourage authors to support their views with clear arguments and evidence. A position paper may be a discussion of ideas, methods, results, and trends, focused on any of the workshop topics.
Though, position papers about the following topics would be particularly
welcome:
- Current role, impact and future perspectives of 3D search, retrieval and navigation on real-world applications (including, but not limited
to: medicine, biometrics, cultural heritage, e-commerce, fabrication)
- What lessons can 3D search and retrieval learn from decades of Information Retrieval?
- 3D search and big data search and analytics: commonalities and differences;
- Similarity as a cognitive process: how can descriptors and metrics reflect the user perspective;
- The role of users in current 3D search platforms, and trends for the
future: user profiling, interaction modalities, feedback gathering and exploitation.
Submissions must not have been previously published or submitted for publication in any other workshop, conference, journal or book.
Technical and research papers will not be accepted under the position papers category. Submissions must be in English and limited to four pages, following the same guidelines for technical papers.
