3D media has emerged rapidly as a new type of content within the multimedia domain. The recent acceleration of 3D content production, witnessed across all fields up to user-generated content, is causing a huge amount of traffic and data stored and transmitted using Internet technologies. Recent advances in 3D acquisition and 3D graphics rendering technologies boosted the creation of 3D model archives for several application domains. These include archaeology and cultural heritage, computer-assisted design (CAD), medicine and bioinformatics, 3D face recognition and security, entertainment and serious gaming, spatial data and 3D city management.
