Second Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------- Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2013 (3DOR’13) ----------------------------------------------------------- A co-event of Eurographics 2013 May 11, 2013, Girona, Spain http://3dor2013.di.univr.it/ Important Dates -------------------------------------------- Feb 1, 2013: Paper submission deadline March 15, 2013: Notification of acceptance March 29, 2013: Camera-ready papers due May 11, 2013: Workshop day 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series -------------------------------------------- 3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine. The rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, the problem of creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing 3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field. This provides a cross-fertilization ground that stimulates discussions on the next steps in this important research area. The 6th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2013) is a co-event of the 34th Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2013). The workshop will take place on May 11, 2013 in Girona, Spain. Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations -------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.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). Paper submissions need to be done by the SRM site of Eurographics https://srm.eg.org/SRM_3DOR2013/ (see also the workshop website for details). 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 year’s workshop will also feature the 8th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC’2013). A separate call for participation will be issued. 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.
