On 1st and 2nd September, the Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval 2022 (3DOR’22) Conference took place in Florence, Italy. During the event, the organisers announced the evaluation results for the topics of the SHREC 2022 contest.

Research groups composed of students, postgraduates, researchers, and members from the Faculty of Information Technology, Software Engineering Laboratory (SELab), and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (AILab) participated in five out of six topics of the SHREC 2022 contest. They achieved the highest results in three of those six topics. The methods developed by the research groups from the University were published alongside those of other research groups from around the world in five papers in Volume 107 of Computers & Graphics, Elsevier (group Q1).
