    Feature Curve Extraction on Triangle Meshes
    (The Eurographics Association, 2019) Moscoso Thompson, Elia; Arvanitis, G.; Moustakas, Konstantinos; Hoang-Xuan, N.; Nguyen, E. R.; Tran, M.; Lejemble, T.; Barthe, L.; Mellado, N.; Romanengo, C.; Biasotti, S.; FALCIDIENO, BIANCA; Biasotti, Silvia and Lavoué, Guillaume and Veltkamp, Remco
    This paper presents the results of the SHREC'19 track: Feature curve extraction on triangle meshes. Given a model, the challenge consists in automatically extracting a subset of the mesh vertices that jointly represent a feature curve. As an optional task, participants were requested to send also a similarity evaluation among the feature curves extracted. The various approaches presented by the participants are discussed, together with their results. The proposed methods highlight different points of view of the problem of feature curve extraction. It is interesting to see that it is possible to deal with this problem with good results, despite the different approaches.

    Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) is an imaging technique that allows three-dimensional visualization of macro-molecular assemblies under near-native conditions. Cryo-ET comes with a number of challenges, mainly low signal-to-noise and inability to obtain images from all angles. Computational methods are key to analyze cryo-electron tomograms. To promote innovation in computational methods, we generate a novel simulated dataset to benchmark different methods of localization and classification of biological macromolecules in tomograms. Our publicly available dataset contains ten tomographic reconstructions of simulated cell-like volumes. Each volume contains twelve different types of complexes, varying in size, function and structure. In this paper, we have evaluated seven different methods of finding and classifying proteins. Seven research groups present results obtained with learning-based methods and trained on the simulated dataset, as well as a baseline template matching (TM), a traditional method widely used in cryo-ET research. We show that learning-based approaches can achieve notably better localization and classification performance than TM. We also experimentally confirm that there is a negative relationship between particle size and performance for all methods.

    SHREC 2023: Detection of Symmetries on 3D Point Clouds Representing Simple Shapes
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Sipiran, Ivan; Romanengo, Chiara; Falcidieno, Bianca; Biasotti, Silvia; Arvanitis, Gerasimos; Chen, Chen; Fotis, Vlassis; He, Jianfang; Lv, Xiaoling; Moustakas, Konstantinos; Peng, Silong; Romanelis, Ioannis; Sun, Wenhao; Vlachos, Christoforos; Wu, Ziyu; Xie, Qiong; Fugacci, Ulderico; Lavoué, Guillaume; Veltkamp, Remco C.
    This paper presents the methods that participated in the SHREC 2023 track focused on detecting symmetries on 3D point clouds representing simple shapes. By simple shapes, we mean surfaces generated by different types of closed plane curves used as the directrix of a cylinder or a cone. This track aims to determine the reflective planes for each point cloud. The methods are evaluated in their capability of detecting the right number of symmetries and correctly identifying the reflective planes. To this end, we generated a dataset that contains point clouds representing simple shapes perturbed with different kinds of artefacts (such as noise and undersampling) to provide a thorough evaluation of the robustness of the algorithms.
