Call for Participation SHREC 2026

Description

SHREC is an annual, international challenge dedicated to evaluating and comparing the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. Its general objective is to push the boundaries of research in 3D object retrieval, a field of increasing importance due to the growing availability and use of 3D data. SHREC's continuous existence since 2006 highlights the recognized importance of 3D content-based retrieval in fields like computer graphics, machine vision, pattern recognition, and various real-world applications (e.g., e-commerce, digital archiving, and bio-informatics).

Purpose

The primary goal is to provide a standardized, public framework—including datasets, queries, ground truth (correct classifications), and evaluation measures—to objectively test and compare different 3D shape retrieval methodologies. This fosters research and helps identify state-of-the-art approaches.

Organization

SHREC is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, Genova, 2026. Paper submissions will follow a two-stage review process. Final full papers will be published in Computers & Graphics. Final short papers will be published in the Eurographcs Digital Library.
