  General Information
Welcome to the web site for the "2001 Workshop on Shape-Based Retrieval and Analysis of 3D Models."  It was held Sunday through Tuesday, October 28-30, 2001 in Princeton, New Jersey.  The workshop is hosted jointly by the Princeton University Computer Science Department and the NEC Research Institute (NECI).

The first objective of the workshop is to investigate methods for automatic retrieval and analysis of 3D models.  Potential topics include representation, matching, recognition, clustering, classification, and semantic tagging of 3D models.  Discussion will focus on new theory for the representation of 3D shape, new data structures and algorithms for indexing and search of 3D models, new query interfaces for shape-based retrieval, and new infrastructure for future research in 3D shape retrieval and analysis.

The second objective of the workshop is to foster interaction between researchers working on computer graphics, computational geometry, and computer vision.  To this end, a mixture of people from several different fields have been invited to give 30 minute talks.  We intend this workshop to offer a forum for focused, in-depth interaction on learning and development in shape analysis from both theoretical and practical perspectives, and thus there will be plenty of time for discussion between talks.
