Call for Papers
We invite paper submissions to the workshop on 3D Geometry Generation for Scientific Computing (3D4S) co-located with the CVPR 2026, the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, at Denver, CO, USA.
Topics will include, but are not limited to:
- Multi-scale Patterns: How can 3D/4D models effectively capture both fine-grained and large-scale details in complex scientific datasets, such as fluid and smoke?
- Large-scale Scenes: What techniques can improve the scalability of 3D/4D reconstructions for large environments like cities, forests, or glaciers, without sacrificing accuracy or computational feasibility?
- Heterogeneous Views: How can we effectively integrate data from multiple sources (e.g., satellite, LiDAR, drone, mobile devices) to produce accurate and seamless 3D models while minimizing noise and alignment issues?
- Dynamic and Time-varying Views: What methods can improve temporal coherence in 4D reconstructions of dynamic scenes, such as fast-moving natural systems or urban traffic, while avoiding artifacts?
- Complex and Unstructured Geometries: How can 3D/4D models better handle irregular, unstructured geometries found in natural environments like mountains or coral reefs, particularly in the presence of sharp features?
- Occlusions and Missing Observations: What techniques can be developed to fill gaps in occluded or incomplete data in real-world scenarios, ensuring accurate reconstructions despite missing perspectives or environmental obstacles?
- Computational Complexity: How can we reduce the computational cost of high-quality 3D/4D reconstructions, especially for real-time or large-scale applications that require high-resolution output?
- Generalization and Scene Adaptability: What approaches can help 3D/4D models generalize to new environments without retraining, enabling wider applicability across different scientific domains?
- Real-time Rendering for Dynamic Scenes: How can we achieve real-time rendering for dynamic 4D scenes in complex environments, such as simulating natural disasters or fast-moving ecosystems?
- Lighting and Viewpoint Variations: What novel algorithms can improve the robustness of 3D reconstructions in variable lighting or challenging viewpoints (e.g., low-light conditions or extreme weather)?

Submission policy
Submission Format (inherit from CVPR 2026): Latex Template.
Submission portal: OpenReview.
Our submission policy is inherited from CVPR 2026.
-
Submissions: The main text of a submitted paper must be at least four pages long and no more than eight pages, including all figures and tables. Additional pages containing references don’t count as content pages.
- The main text and references may be followed by technical appendices, for which there is no page limit.
- The maximum file size for a full submission, which includes technical appendices, is 50MB.
-
Supplementary material: While all technical appendices should be included as part of the main paper submission PDF, authors may submit up to 100MB of supplementary material, such as data, or source code in a ZIP format.
Supplementary material should be material created by the authors that directly supports the submission content. Like submissions, supplementary material must be anonymized. Looking at supplementary material is at the discretion of the reviewers.
- Use of Large Language Models (LLMs): We welcome authors to use any tool that is suitable for preparing high-quality papers and research. However, we ask authors to keep in mind two important criteria. First, we expect papers to fully describe their methodology, and any tool that is important to that methodology, including the use of LLMs, should be described also. For example, authors should mention tools (including LLMs) that were used for data processing or filtering, visualization, facilitating or running experiments, and proving theorems. It may also be advisable to describe the use of LLMs in implementing the method (if this corresponds to an important, original, or non-standard component of the approach). Second, authors are responsible for the entire content of the paper, including all text and figures, so while authors are welcome to use any tool they wish for writing the paper, they must ensure that all text is correct and original.
- Double-blind reviewing: All submissions must be anonymized and may not contain any identifying information that may violate the double-blind reviewing policy. This policy applies to any supplementary or linked material as well, including code. If you are including links to any external material, it is your responsibility to guarantee anonymous browsing. Please do not include acknowledgements at submission time. If you need to cite one of your own papers, you should do so with adequate anonymization to preserve double-blind reviewing. For instance, write “In the previous work of Smith et al. [1]...” rather than “In our previous work [1]...”.
Any papers found to be violating this policy will be rejected.
- Anti-collusion: We do not tolerate any collusion whereby authors secretly cooperate with reviewers, ACs or SACs to obtain favorable reviews.
- Publication of accepted submissions: Reviews, meta-reviews, and any discussion with the authors will be made public for accepted papers (but reviewer, area chair, and senior area chair identities will remain anonymous). Camera-ready papers will be due in advance of the conference. All camera-ready papers must include a funding disclosure. We strongly encourage accompanying code and data to be submitted with accepted papers when appropriate, as per the code submission policy. Authors will be allowed to make minor changes for a short period of time after the conference.
- Posting papers on preprint servers like ArXiv is permitted.
- All submissions must represent original work and not previously published elsewhere.
- Submissions are only accepted in written English.
- All papers must be proofread by the authors before submission.
- This workshop is non-archival; even though all accepted papers will be available on OpenReview, there are no formally-published proceedings.
