Introduction

The Network of Excellence AIM@SHAPE is taking the initiative to organize a 3D shape retrieval evaluation event: SHREC - 3D Shape Retrieval Contest. The general objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. The contest is organized in conjunction with the SMI conference (Shape Modeling International) where the evaluation results will be presented.

SHREC07

The call for participation for SHREC07 will appear here in the near future.

SHREC06

Last year's shape retrieval contest is described below.

Because of the short term, the contest consisted of a single track. For subsequent years it is our intention to organize a multi-track contest.
