The goal of this meeting is to present and discuss new research ideas
and results related to the capture, representation, compact storage,
transmission, processing, editing, optimization and visualization of
3D data. These topics span a number of research fields from applied
mathematics, computer science, and engineering: computer vision,
computer graphics, geometric modeling, signal and image processing,
bioinformatics, and statistics.  This symposium follows the highly
successful editions that took place in Padova, Italy, in 2002 and in
Thessaloniki, Greece, 2004.

Scope of the Conference:
A list of topics of interest includes but is not limited to:

- 3D scanning sensors
- 3D photography algorithms
- 3D view registration
-  Surface modeling: geometry and photometry
- Image-based rendering and modeling
- Multi-view geometry and calibration
- Compression and transmission  of 3D data
- 3D Content-based retrieval and recognition
- Visualization, interaction with 3D data, and 3D haptics
- 3D printing and rapid prototyping
- Psychophysics of 3D sensing and haptics
- 3D teleimmersion and remote collaboration
- Augmented reality and virtual environments
- 3D television, games and entertainment
- Medical and biomedical applications
- Cultural heritage, archaeology and forensic applications
- Urban modeling and terrain modeling
