The objective of this shape retrieval contest is to retrieve 3D models those are relevant to a query range scan. This task corresponds to a real life scenario where the query is a 3D range scan of an object acquired from an arbitrary view direction. The algorithm should retrieve the relevant 3D objects from a database.

Task description:
In response to a given set of range scan queries, the task is to evaluate similarity scores with the target models and return an ordered ranked list along with the similarity scores for each query.

The objective of SHREC'14 Track is to evaluate the performances of different sketch-based 3D model retrieval algorithms using a large scale hand-drawn sketch query dataset on a generic 3D model dataset.

Objective:
The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of 3D shape retrieval approaches on a large-sale comprehensive 3D shape database which contains different types of models, such as generic, articulated, CAD and architecture models.

Objective: The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of 3D shape retrieval approaches on Generic 3D Dataset.

Introduction: With the increasing number of 3D models are created every day and stored in databases, effectively searching a 3D repository for 3D shapes which are similar to a given 3D query model has become an important area of research. Benchmarking allows researchers to evaluate the quality of the results of different 3D shape retrieval approaches.

The objective of this SHREC'12 track is to evaluate the performance of different sketch-based 3D model retrieval algorithms using both hand-drawn and standard line drawings sketch queries on a watertight 3D model dataset.

This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is in the form of chips sized between 0.50 and 1.18 mm sieve openings (35 and 16 mesh). It is intended for use primarily in chemical methods of analysis. Similar material for use in spectrometric methods of analysis is available as SRM 1297. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.

Between 1922 and 1940, the National Bureau of Standards (NBS) conducted a long-term investigation into the corrosion of bare steel and iron, pipes buried underground at 47 sites representing different soil types in the United States. Following the passage of the 2004 Pipeline Safety Improvement Act, the Department of Transportation's Office of Pipeline Safety requested that NIST review and reanalyze the data from the NBS study using modern statistical analysis tools. For this analysis, NIST compiled an updated database from the data in the publications by K. H. Logan (i.e.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology, as part of its report on the collapse of the World Trade Center, characterized many important steels recovered from the buildings to provide stress-strain models to analyze the impact, fires, and resulting collapse. Those tests represent a large additional data set that can be used for modeling the response of steel structures to fire.

We have applied 3D shape-based retrieval to various disciplines such as computer vision, CAD/CAM, computer graphics, molecular biology and 3D anthropometry. We have organized two workshops on 3D shape retrieval and two shape retrieval contests. We also have developed 3D shape benchmarks, performance evaluation software and prototype 3D retrieval systems. We have developed a robotic map quality assessment tool in collaboration with MEL) We also have developed different shape descriptors to represent 3D human bodies and heads efficiently and other work related to 3D anthropometry.

SRM 1297 Stainless Steel (SAE 201) - 'This Standard Reference Material (SRM) is intended for use in optical emission and x-ray spectrometric methods of analysis. It is in the form of a disk approximately 32 mm in diameter and 19 mm thick. This data is public in the Certificate of Analysis for this material.
