# 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series3D object representations have
become an integral part of moderncomputer graphics applications, such
as computer-aided design, gamedevelopment and film production. At the
same time, 3D data have becomevery common in various domains such as
computer vision, computationalgeometry, molecular biology and
medicine.Indeed, the rapid evolution in graphics hardware and
software, inparticular the availability of low cost 3D scanners and
modelingtools, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation,
andmanipulation, giving the opportunity to a large user community
toexperience applications using 3D models. As the number of 3D models
isgrowing rapidly, the problem of creating new 3D models has shifted
tothe problem of searching for existing 3D models. Thereupon,
thedevelopment of efficient search mechanisms is required for
theeffective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories.The aim
of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers fromdifferent
fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, MachineLearning and
Human-Computer Interaction who work on the common goal of3D object
retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field.This will
provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulatediscussions on
the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR2012 will take
place as the fifth workshop in this series on May13, 2012 in Cagliari
(Sardinia, Italy), on the day before Eurographics 2012.
# Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations	Authors are
invited to submit original and unpublished research andpractical
applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.Submissions are
invited in form of full and short papers, as well asposter and system
presentations. Suggested topics include, but are notlimited to:-	 3D
object similarity and matching-	 3D object classification, indexing,
and mining-	 Similarity of non-rigid shapes-	 Feature extraction,
decomposition, and segmentation-	 Multi-level representations for
matching and retrieval-	 Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many
matching-	 Matching under uncertainty and noise-	 Semantics-driven 3D
object retrieval and classification-	 Sketch-based retrieval-	 Query
interfaces and search modalities-	 Benchmarking issues-	 Relevance
feedback methods-	 Active learning-	 Generative/discriminative
approaches in 3D object categorization-	 Applications in multimedia,
CAD, games, biometrics, e-science,         e-learning, medicine,
biology, and cultural heritage.This year’s workshop will also feature
the 7th Shape RetrievalEvaluation Contest (SHREC’2012). A separate
call for participationwill be issued later on.
Extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop will
appear,after a further review, in a special issue of The Visual
ComputerJournal published by Springer.
