NPAR 2009: Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

NPAR Call for Papers ==================== Conference: NPAR 2009 ACM International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (co-located with SIGGRAPH 2009) Upcoming Deadlines: Abstract submission deadline April 13, 2009 Submission deadline April 15, 2009, 12 midnight PDT URL: http://www.npar.org/2009/ Conference date: August 1-2, 2009 Conference location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Aims and Scope: =============== NPAR 2009 is the 7th international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and in cooperation with Eurographics. For the second time, NPAR will be co-located with SIGGRAPH which in 2009 takes place in New Orleans. This will allow us to raise attention for this important field, to open it to new people from academia, arts, and industry. Once again NPAR will bring together researchers and practitioners to showcase cutting-edge research in non-photorealistic animation and rendering systems and techniques. Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (NPAR) refers to techniques for visually communicating ideas and information. Such techniques usually generate imagery which is expressive, rather than photorealistic. We seek new research on both the mechanisms of non-photorealistic rendering techniques as well as the principles of visual communication via such artistic rendering. Specific themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: * Simulation of traditional and new graphical styles * Simulation of natural media * Hardware-accelerated non-photorealistic algorithms * Level-of-detail in image space * Abstraction and composition in rendered images * Synthesis of stroke-based patterns * Style transfer * Automatic painting from photographs and video * Temporal and spatial coherence in non-photorealistic rendering * Motion blur and depth of field in non-photorealistic images * Lighting models for NPAR * Non-traditional perspective * Non-photorealistic modeling * Animation systems * Computer-aided cartoon animation * 2D/3D integration * Live-action integration * Computer-aided in-betweening * Computer-aided layout * Matting and compositing * Image-based rendering * Rendering languages and systems * Practical NPAR applications * Evaluation methods for artistic graphics * Computer-generated abstract art We invite researchers and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers. Full-length papers are the primary medium for conveying new research results at the NPAR symposium. Submissions are sought that describe original, unpublished work on all themes listed above. Paper submissions should be at most 5000 words or 10 ACM conference pages in length. The title page should include an abstract (fewer than 200 words) and keywords. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Submission is single-blind, so papers may be submitted in "camera-ready" format. We recommend that prospective authors consult the SIGGRAPH publications page (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/) for information on paper formatting for paper submissions. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM SIGGRAPH and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Call for posters ================ Like in the previous years we again also ask for poster submissions for NPAR 2009. The poster session is an opportunity for authors to present their research results in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work. It is an ideal venue for presenting ongoing research projects that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are already interesting. Posters describing applications of NPR to animation, illustration, and/or interactive applications are also welcome. Posters should be submitted as a one-page extended abstract, and the format should follow the same guidelines as for the paper submissions, using the ACM SIGGRAPH format. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Submission is single-blind, so the one-page poster abstracts may be submitted in "camera-ready" format. We recommend that prospective authors consult the SIGGRAPH publications page for information on formatting for poster submissions (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/). Important Dates =============== Abstract submission deadline: April 13, 2009 Submission deadline: April 15, 2009, 12 midnight PDT Acceptance notification: May 22, 2009 Camera-ready deadline: May 29, 2009 Poster submission deadline: June 8, 2009 Poster acceptance notification: June 22, 2009 Poster camera-ready deadline: June 29, 2009 Organization ============ Bruce Gooch, University of Victoria, Canada (General Chair) Tobias Isenberg, University of Groningen, Netherlands (Program Chair) Craig Kaplan, University of Waterloo, Canada (Program Chair) Holger Winnemöller, Adobe Inc., USA (Poster Chair) Marc Nienhaus, mental images GmbH, Germany (Poster Chair) -- --[ Tobias Isenberg ]-------------------[ University of Groningen ]-- | Postbus 407, 9700 AK Groningen phone: +31-50-363-5089 | | The Netherlands fax: +31-50-363-3800 | --[ http://www.cs.rug.nl/~isenberg/ ]--------[ isenberg(a)cs.rug.nl ]--

3rd WORKSHOP ON DYNAMIC 3D IMAGING

by Stefanie Behnke

[Apologies if you receive this CFP several times] =========================================================================== NEWS - Submission Deadline extended to April 17th =========================================================================== --------------- CALL FOR PAPERS --------------- 3rd WORKSHOP ON DYNAMIC 3D IMAGING IN CONJUNCTION WITH Symp. of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM September 08th, 2009, Jena, Germany GENERAL INFORMATION http://www.multi-sensorics.de/dyn3d SCOPE 3D imaging sensors have been investigated for several decades. In recent years, improvements on classical approaches such as stereo vision and structured light on the one hand, and novel ToF-techniques 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 - sensor simulation * Multi sensor fusion incorporating full-range 3D sensors * Data processing for dynamic full-range 3D-data, including - calibration techniques - sensor based image synthesis - 3D object recognition and tracking - 3D optical flow * Applications using interactive, full-range 3D sensors, e.g. in areas like - autonomous robotics - medicine and health care - industrial automation - surveillance - human-machine interaction - automotive Novel results of theoretical and practical significance based on interactive 3D vision will be considered. All accepted contributions will be published in a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS). IMPORTANT DATES Submission of full papers: April 17th, 2009 Notification of acceptance: May 29th, 2009 Camera ready due: June 19th, 2009 Workshop: September 8th, 2009 ORGANIZING COMMITTEE and CONTACT * Reinhard Koch (Chairman), U Kiel, Germany * Andreas Kolb (Paper Chair), U Siegen, Germany * Erhardt Barth, U Luebeck, Germany * Rasmus Larsen, Tech.
