=================================================================

Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with
information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a
new wave of information is underway: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and
powerful modeling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing
audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and
size. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D repositories and retrieving
the models of interest remains a challenging problem. Indeed, traditional
information access techniques have been shown inadequate to deal with 3D
content. Therefore, it is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based
searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate
descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for
databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical
importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces
for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search
results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges
such as faceted 3D browsing, social search, and navigation of hybrid
datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing
attention from the research community.

The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from
different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine
Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or
are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present
state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in
discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate
discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2018
will be the 11th workshop in this series.

3DOR 2018 will be a 2-day event and will contain the following tracks:
research paper presentations, posters, keynote speeches and EU project
presentations and networking. The 3DOR Workshop proceedings are indexed by
SCOPUS. Extended versions of the full papers will be submitted for a
special issue of Computers and Graphics published by Elsevier (pending for
confirmation). 3DOR is co-located with Eurographics 2018.
