SHREC2020 - 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge 2020 Call for Papers

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
SHREC2020 - 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge 2020

At Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval.
Contact: shrec@cs.uu.nl

New this year: In 2020, full SHREC papers will follow a two-stage
review process and will be published in the international journal
Computes & Graphics upon acceptance.

Introduction The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest
is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval
algorithms. SHREC2020 is the fifteenth edition of the contest. Like
previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Workshop on 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.

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 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.

Tracks
The following tracks are organized. For description of tasks, the
collections, queries, the evaluation procedure, and time schedule,

Procedure

The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:

    Track organizers have sent their proposal describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, and expected number of participants.
    The tracks are selected, and are listed at the SHREC web page. The track organizers start up their track.
    Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in.
    Each track is performed according to its own time schedule.
    The track organizers collect the results.
    The track results are combined into a joint paper, to be submitted for review to Computers & Graphics.
    The description of the tracks and their results are presented at the Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, 4-5 September 2020
