CfP-Reminder: Workshop on 3D Imaging

by Stefanie Behnke

[Apologies if you receive this CfP-update several times] ---------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: ---------------- +----------------------------------+ | EXTENSION OF SUBMISSION DEADLINE | | | | NEW DEADLINE: June 4th 2007 | +----------------------------------+ WORKSHOP ON DYNAMIC 3D IMAGING IN CONJUNCTION WITH Symp. of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM September 11th, 2007, Heidelberg GENERAL INFORMATION http://www.multi-sensorics.de/dyn3d IMPORTANT DATES NEW Submission of full papers: June 04th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 30th, 2007 Final versions due: August 10th, 2007 Workshop: September 11th, 2007 SCOPE 3D imaging sensors have been investigated for several decades. In recent years, improvements on classical approaches like stereo vision on the one hand, and novel techniques like ZCam or Photonic Mixing Device (PMD) on the other hand have emerged, leading to 3D vision systems with radically improved characteristics. Presently, these techniques make full-range 3D data available at interactive frame rates, and thus open the path towards a much broader application of 3D vision systems. The workshop focuses on sensor systems, data processing approaches and systems incorporating interactive, full-range 3D sensors in specific application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Development of full-range 3D sensors or sensor systems, including - active and passive 3D imaging systems - 3D sensors operating at optical, near-infrared, terahertz and microwave wavelengths - sensor simulation * Multi sensor fusion incorporating full-range 3D sensors * Data processing for dynamic full-range 3D-data, including - sensor based image synthesis - calibration techniques - 3D object recognition - 3D optical flow * Applications using interactive, full-range 3D sensors, e.g. in areas like - autonomous robotics - medicine - industrial automation Results of practical significance with an adequate inclusion of interactive 3D vision sensors will be considered. The content of submitted papers has to be novel.

SBIM'07 Extended Submission Date

by Joaquim Jorge

Extended Submission Date: Abstract submission deadline: May 8, 2007 Deadline for paper submissions: May 15, 2007 Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM '07) http://www.eg.org/sbm University of California Riverside, CA, USA Thursday August 2 - Friday August 3, 2007 Aims and Scope Most computer user interfaces continue to be based on the keyboard and mouse. These are good for typing and pointing, but they lack the naturalness, transparency, and ease-of-use of basic low-tech pencil and paper. Modern pen computing hardware--in principle--enables fluid drawing, sketching, and direct manipulation of both text and graphics. To realize this potential requires effective user interface designs and underlying algorithms to support them. This workshop will explore techniques and technologies needed to enable sketch-based interfaces. The foci will be on methods for recognition of hand-drawn shapes and interpretation of diagrams and sketches, and on applications of sketch-based interfaces to a variety of domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and note-taking. Empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other interaction techniques are also welcome. The workshop is being held in cooperation with Eurographics and the American Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI). The workshop dates of August 2-3 are just prior to SIGGRAPH. The workshop location is Riverside, California, 1.5 hours by car from the SIGGRAPH venue in San Diego. The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track), a breakout session, coffee breaks, a conference dinner, and invited talks. There will be a demo session in which participants have an opportunity to demonstrate their systems and try out those of the other participants. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital Library. Summaries of previous Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling Workshops can be explored at http://www.eg.org/sbm. Authors are invited to submit technical papers on topics including, but not limited to: * Low level ink processing * Sketch segmentation * Classification and recognition of hand-drawn sketches * Multimodal interfaces for sketching * Novel sketch input devices * Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR) * Usability studies of sketch-based systems * Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation, games, etc.) * Sketch-based CAD systems * Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math, etc.) * Sketch-based retrieval of multimedia Information Authors of workshop papers are encouraged to provide demos. We also invite: * demos of rough ideas and work in progress. * demos that present and critique commercial pen computing software * demos of games and other novel applications making creative use of sketch interfaces Submission Procedure Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format. Each paper should contain title, authors' names and affiliations, abstract, keywords, text, illustrations, and references. Detailed guidelines and LaTeX style files are available through the EG Conference Manager (MCP) (http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SBIM07). All submissions will be done electronically via the EG Conference Manager (MCP). Papers will be accepted in PDF format only. Documentation on and assistance with the submission system is available at http://egdl1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRMwiki/index.php/Main_Page. Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any problems with electronic submission. Proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. Paper selection will be based on technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop. Those interested in providing a demo should submit a one-page abstract of the proposed demo. If possible, the abstract should include a URL for a video, screen images, etc. Special Issue: Computers & Graphics Revised and expanded versions of selected workshop papers will be featured in a special issue of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier) in 2008. Important Workshop Dates * Abstract submission deadline: May 8, 2007 * Deadline for paper submissions: May 15, 2007 (Extended Deadline) * Notification of acceptance: June 8, 2007 Organization Workshop Chairs Thomas Stahovich, University of California, Riverside, CA (stahov(a)engr.ucr.edu) Christine Alvarado, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA (alvarado(a)cs.hmc.edu) Program Chairs Michiel van de Panne, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC (van(a)cs.ubc.ca) Eric Saund, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Palo Alto, CA (saund(a)parc.com) EG SBIM Working Group Chair Joaquim Jorge, Technical University of Lisboa, Portugal (jaj(a)rtr.inesc-id.pt) -J.

Deadline Extended: Cyberworlds 2007, HAPTEX'07 & NASAGEM'07 [Apologies if you received it in multiple copies or do not want to receive it at all] After many requests from authors and because of the long public holiday "Golden Week" in many Asian countries, the submission deadline has been extended till May 25 (for the main conference and both workshops). This is the final deadline and we will not accept any submission after May 25. If you are considering to submit a paper, you can register an account with us at http://www.gdv.uni-hannover.de/hcw07 and submit a tentative title and authors, so that we can stay in contact with you. As long as the deadline is not reached, you can always edit or withdraw your submission. If you have any questions, we would be happy to answer them via email to hcw2007(a)gdv.uni-hannover.de Best Regards; Franz-Erich Wolter Conference and Program Co-Chair of CW 2007 PS: If you missed the Call for Papers before, you can find them at http://www.gdv.uni-hannover.de/events/hcw07/papers/index.php
