Interoperability Week http://www.mel.nist.gov/div826/msid/sima/interopweek/  (04/23/07-04/25/07) is coordinated and hosted by NIST's Systems Integration for Manufacturing Applications

(SIMA http://www.mel.nist.gov/div826/msid/sima/sima.htm ) program.

 

Background:

3D and 2D object models are widespread and used in many diverse areas, such as computer graphics, computer aided design, computer vision and cultural heritage, and other fields; and are less developed, but important to medical imaging, structural biology, and cell biology. Large numbers of 3D/2D images are created every day in the sciences and many are stored in publicly available databases. For scientific image data to be most useful, methods for storage, indexing, searching, recognition, clustering and retrieval of the content under study are essential. While there have been advances in the retrieval of information from text data, these methods simply can’t be extended to 3D/2D images. Search and exchange of 3D/2D object models require image-based, surface-based or volume-based features or descriptors to effectively characterize the shape, semantics, content and topology.

 

 

Abstract:

The Workshop on 3D & 2D Content Representation, Analysis and Retrieval is being organized with the goals of bringing the various scientific and computing research communities together to share perspectives and knowledge between the disciplines, and to increase communications among academia, industry and government. The workshop aims to define a research agenda for the future by identifying the gaps in the resources available for image content handling.  These resources include 3D and 2D databases, evaluation methodologies, algorithms and interoperability tools. The workshop aims to identify the most appropriate role for government to play in this activity. The workshop will include keynote speakers and/or a panel discussion, to stimulate the development of recommendations. The workshop is supported by the SIMA program and the IDUS program at NIST.
