> *Scope*
> 
> We would like to solicit papers in the area of 3D modeling of indoor or
> outdoor urban environments from images and/or range data. 3D reconstruction
> and modeling of the physical world has progressed very far over the last
> few years, driven by advances in 3D imaging and sensing technology,
> intelligent algorithms, and an increased capabilityto process very large
> data sets. 3D acquisition technology provides us with datasets of various
> resolutions and accuracies in outdoor or indoor environments. High
> resolution and quality images can be now acquired by consumer grade cameras
> and cell phones. 3D range data can be acquired from highly accurate
> terrestrial lidar sensors, less accurate but faster sensors mounted on
> moving vehicles, or fast and inexpensive RGBD sensors for indoor
> environments. Many new challenges need to be addressed in modeling and
> understanding these datasets. A major issue has to do with the need to
> process voluminous data sets. That means that algorithms that explore the
> big-data nature of the indoor/outdoor datasets are becoming important.
> Issues related to big data manifest themselves in two ways: very large data
> collections and very high resolution of each image or range scan. With this
> issue we would like to explore new avenues in 3D modeling from images and
> range data. Applications of these methods can be seen in historical
> preservation, urban planning, digital mapping, architecture, navigation,
> virtual reality, e-commerce, digital cinematography, computer games,  just
> to name a few.

> *Topics*
> 
> Manuscripts are solicited to address a wide range of topics in large-scale
> 3D Modeling, including but not limited to the following:
> 
>   - Dense 3D reconstruction with architectural priors
>   - Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM)
>   - Binocular/multi-view stereo
>   - 3D/2D registration
>   - Integration of semantic segmentation in modeling
>   - Novel statistical techniques for classification
>   - Symmetry and regularity detection
>   - Fusion of 3D and 2D image datasets
>   - Shape synthesis and hole filling
>   - Online methods for classification and reconstruction
>   - Compression algorithms
>   - Photorealistic representations for visualization
> 
> *Submissions*
