SHREC2013

The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate  the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC'13 is the eighth edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the evaluation results will be presented and included in the workshop proceedings. New this year is that the papers are reviewed, and evaluated with respect to quality of contribution.
Thanks to the effort of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's contest, we aim at new and updated tracks. Therefore, the participants are requested 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. After a review process, accepted papers 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.

For information about how to register, datasets, and deadlines, see the website for each of the tracks:
