Shape Modeling International (SMI) provides a forum for the dissemination of new computational techniques for modeling and processing digital representations of shapes and their properties to a community of academic and industrial experts across a wide range of areas. In 2001, SMI has merged with the Implicit Surface Workshop and is now run as an annual event alternating between Asia, Europe and America.

Papers submissions are encouraged in the following and related topics:

Shape Acquisition & Reconstruction

Topological Modeling of Shapes

Shape Representations

Shape Analysis & Shape Statistics

Shape Recognition & Classification

Shape Matching & Retrieval

Geometry Processing

Uncertainty Modeling & Visualization

Smoothing & Denoising

Compression, Simplification & Multiresolution

Progressive transmission & streaming

Deformations & Morphing

Dynamic Shapes & Animation

Collisions & Self-Intersections

Modeling for Games & Entertainment

Molecular Shape Analysis

Physically-Based & Grammar-Based Models

Human-Shape Interaction Techniques

Human Body Modeling & Analysis

GPU-based techniques

Related event

In conjunction with SMI'07, the Network of Excellence AIM@SHAPE is organizing SHREC - 3D Shape Retrieval Contest, whose general objective is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. The evaluation results of the first contest were presented during the SMI'06 conference and are available at http://www.aimatshape.net/event/SHREC. Instructions on how to participate will be posted at the same website.
