The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge is to evaluate the
effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms.

23%2Fshrec2023&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AOvVaw2FP14szlBN91Fa_G70DSZm> SHREC2023 is
the eighteenth edition of the challenge. Like previous years, it is
organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object
Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and presented at the
symposium.
Thanks to the efforts of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides
many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's
contest, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the
participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the
event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a
training and test collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance
assessment, and performance measures.
The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will
be peer reviewed, and published in Computers & Graphics upon acceptance. At
least one author per track must register for the symposium, and present the
results. The registration must be unique for the paper, multiple papers on
one registration does not count. We also cordially invite all other
participants of a track to register and attend the workshop.
Tracks
The tracks organized in the past years have covered different aspects and
tasks of 3D shape retrieval, for example: rigid or non-rigid models; partial
(e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or
domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and molecular),
and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection,
correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification,
recognition, pose estimation, and machine learning.
Now we solicit again proposals for tracks. You may opt for one of the above
themes, or propose new ones. Track organizers are responsible for all
aspects of organizing the track, such as: the task, the data collection
(copyright issues, etc.), the queries, the ground truth, the experimental
design, the evaluation method, and the procedural aspects, writing the final
paper in collaboration with the collaborators, and submitting it. See below
for examples of previous SHREC editions. We strongly encourage to consider
the graphics replicability stamp initiative,
<http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/>
http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, to
apply for this additional sign of recognition, and to include this in your
track proposal.
Procedure
The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:
* Potential track organizers send their proposal to
<mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task,
collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, expected number of
participants, and plans to apply for the graphics replicability stamp.
* Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC web
page, the track organizers start working out the details and recruiting
participants.
* Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in.
* Each track is performed according to its own schedule, compliant with
the worskop submission and reviewing schedule.
* The track organizers collect the results.
* The track results are combined into a joint paper. Papers are subject to
peer review, accepted journal papers are published in Computers & Graphics.
* The description of the tracks and their results are presented at the
Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, 31 August, 1 September 2023.
