3D Object Retrieval Workshop 2015

3D Object Retrieval Workshop (3DOR) 2015

Co-located event with Eurographics 2015

Do you remember the days when retrieving the data that you needed from the internet was a matter of visiting sites your friends knew? The days when you would try out alternative search engines to find a single result? Was it a coincidence that text retrieval engines flourished with the explosion of textual information on the internet that could not be manually explored?

A new wave of information is now underway. Low-cost 3D scanners and 3D printers combined with popular applications of Computer Graphics and Vision are making 3D object models appeal to an increasing audience. See for example repositories such as http://shapes.aimatshape.net/ , https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/.

As these 3D object collections are growing, the importance of effective retrieval, search and exploration is increasing. Because it is easier to find something than to create it from scratch and because manual browsing quickly becomes intractable as a collection grows.

To this effect it is crucial to develop algorithms for the content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; indexing 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for data bases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance such as what it means for two shapes to be similar; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms. Many fields of Computer Science and beyond can offer their valuable knowledge to this complex but highly interesting and practical problem.

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 2015 will be the 8th workshop in this series.

3DOR 2015 will be a 2-day event for the first time and will contain the following tracks: research papers, posters, 2 keynote speeches (NEW!), EU project presentations and networking (NEW!), industrial session (NEW!).

SHREC2015

SHREC2015 - 3D Shape Retrieval Contest 2015

Introduction

The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC'15 is the tenth edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics 2015- Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed by the chairs of the workshop and included in the workshop proceedings.

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 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 published in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop 3D Object Retrieval. At least one author per track must register for the workshop, and present the results. We also cordially invite all participants of a track to register and attend the workshop.
