Call-for-Papers: 3D Object Retrieval

In conjunction with ACM Multimedia 2010 - Florence, Italy - Oct 29, 2010

http://www-rech.telecom-lille1.eu/acm3dor


The use of three-dimensional (3D) image and model databases throughout
the Internet is growing both in number and size. The development of
modeling tools, 3D scanners, 3D graphic accelerated hardware, Web3D,
and so on, is enabling access to 3D materials of high quality.

The emergence of 3D media is also directly related to the emergence of
the 3D acquisition technologies. Indeed, recent advances in 3D scanner
acquisition and 3D graphics rendering technologies boost the creation
of 3D model archives for several application domains.  These include
archeology, cultural heritage, computer-assisted design (CAD),
medicine, 3D face recognition, videogames or
bioinformatics. Thereupon, the development of efficient search
mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from
large repositories.

The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers
interested in 3D retrieval from different fields (computer vision,
computer graphics, machine learning and human-computer
interaction). Its goal is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of
challenges in the research on 3D retrieval. This workshop seeks
original high innovative research in the area of 3D retrieval.

The workshop opens a call for papers to attract a representative
number of papers from leading researchers working on topics related to
3D object retrieval and applications, including but not limited to:

   3D object similarity and matching
   3D Object classification, indexing, and mining
   Similarity of nonrigid objects
   Feature extraction, model decomposition and segmentation
   Partial and many-to-many matching
   Bag-of-features approaches to 3D retrieval
   Matching under uncertainty and noise
   Query interfaces and search modalities
   Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval
   Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification
   Sketch-based retrieval
