Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval

The workshop will take place in the Louis De Geer Conference Centre, located adjacent to the University Campus, in the heart of the city.

List of accepted papers and final program are online.

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 domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine. The rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software development, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation and manipulation, giving the opportunity to experience applications using 3D models to a large user community. As the number of 3D models is continuously growing fast 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, both of a single class (such as human faces) and across classes.

The aim of this workshop is to stimulate researchers from different fields (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 and thus provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area.

The EG 3DOR’10 will be run in-cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH.

The 3rd Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2010) is a co-event of the 31st Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics EuroGraphics 2010 that will take place in the city of Norrköping in Sweeden.

Extended versions of selected papers from the workshop will appear, after a further review, in a Special Issue of The Visual Computer Journal published by Springer.
