SHREC'12 Track: Sketch-Based 3D Shape Retrieval

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: September 30, 2025 | Last Modified: 2012-01-30 00:00:00
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. Sketch-based 3D model retrieval is to retrieve 3D models using a 2D sketch as input. This scheme is intuitive and convenient for users to search for relevant 3D models and also important for several applications including sketch-based modeling and sketch-based shape recognition. However, most existing 3D model retrieval algorithms target the Query-by-Model framework, that is, using existing 3D models as queries. Much less research work has been done regarding the Query-by-Sketch framework. In addition, until now there was no comprehensive evaluation or comparison for available sketch-based retrieval algorithms. Considering of this, we organized this track to foster this challenging research area by providing a common sketch-based retrieval benchmark and soliciting retrieval results from current state-of-the-art retrieval methods for comparison. We also provide corresponding evaluation code for computing a set of performance metrics similar to those used in the Query-by-Model retrieval technique. Dataset: 3D target Models is 400, 2D query set comprises two subsets: (1) Hand-drawn sketches, and (2) Standard line drawings Please cite the paper: [1] B. Li, T. Schreck, A. Godil, M. Alexa, T.
