High-Performance Graphics: Early Registration Open!

by Stefanie Behnke

High-Performance Graphics 2010 Algorithms, Hardware, Systems ***EARLY REGISTRATION NOW OPEN*** Announcement Registration is now open for High-Performance Graphics 2010. Come join us for a strong set of technical papers, keynote talks by Turner Whitted (Microsoft Research) and Cevat Yerli & Anton Kaplanyan (Crytek), a reinvigorated poster session and the always exciting Hot 3D systems track. See the end of this message for a complete paper list and abstract of the keynote talks. Early registration runs through June 8th and online registration is open until June 22nd. There are discounts for ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics members as well as for full-time students. The reduced rate for early registration expires in just over a week, so reserve your spot today! Visit <http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/> http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/ for full details of registration and for travel and accommodation information. This year we are co-located with Eurographics Rendering Symposium. Please consider taking full advantage of your travel costs by attending both conferences. Introduction We are pleased to announce High-Performance Graphics 2010. This conference continues last year's success at synthesizing two important and cutting-edge topics in computer graphics: * Graphics Hardware, represented since 1986 by an annual conference of that name focusing on graphics hardware, architecture, and systems since 1986. * Interactive Ray Tracing, represented since 2006 in an innovative symposium focusing on the emerging field of interactive ray tracing and global illumination techniques. By combining these two communities, we bring to authors and attendees the best of both, while extending the scope of the conference to cover the overarching field of performance-oriented graphics systems covering innovative algorithms, efficient implementations, and hardware architecture. This broader focus offers a common forum bringing together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics algorithms, and innovative applications. Conference Info Corporate sponsorship by AMD and Intel Additional corporate sponsorship by Microsoft Research and NVIDIA Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics The program features three days of paper and industry presentations, with ample time for discussions during breaks, lunches, and the conference banquet. The conference, which will take place on June 25-27, is co-located with Eurographics Rendering Symposium on the campus of the Max-Planck Institut Informatik, Saarland University, Saarbrucken, Germany. The conference website is located at <http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/> http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/ Keynote Talks Turner Whitted, Microsoft Research * Title: Disaggregated Graphics: Rich Clients for Clouds * Abstract: We sometimes forget that the famous "wheel of reincarnation" translates as it rotates, transporting us to unfamiliar technological territory even if we recognize historical similarities. So it is with the emergence of cloud computing with its concentrated computation and wide bandwidth interconnection. It is not, however, a return to the mainframe computer centers of the 1960s or the client/ server model of the 1980s. Instead we are offered more computation, more pixels, more modes of interaction, .... more of everything. We are given so much more that the change of experience is qualitative, not merely quantitative. Microsoft Research's vX project is an experiment devised to explore the client side of this new computing environment. Radically rich visual computing calls for radically new architectures, programming models, and approaches to interaction. We are re-examining these venues simultaneously rather than independently. At the highest level, the vX model insists on interaction being local even if it is shared among a heterogeneous collection of devices. At a lower level, the vX programming model emphasizes local memory access within each of many processing cores. This philosophy extends to the lowest level of the graphics engine with memory intensive passive representations being replaced with processor intensive functional representations. As we progress with this project we find our alignment with technological trends for processing and interconnection takes us far from conventional graphics practice. This should be no surprise. It is time for change. Cevat Yerli & Anton Kaplanyan, Crytek * Title: Crytek's Future Game Graphics * Abstract: We want to share our ten-year expertise of making a generalized and balanced real-time rendering pipeline on consoles. Different algorithms for image synthesis will be discussed as well as different architectures for different workloads. The problems of the current rendering pipeline and the current generation of consoles will be discussed. Also we will talk about the new possible applications for real-time graphics such as movies industry and server-side rendering.

Complex scenes still provide challenges, mostly because modeling all those irregularities that make a scene look natural is so tedious. Images with increased perceived realism can be created by scanning the existing reality: with texture maps, material properties, illumination, object geometry, animation paths --- and reorganizing the data to new images. Maybe it is time to raise the bar of quality of photorealistic imaging. We still have difficulties in capturing a real scene as we experience it with our own eyes, due to limitations of physical cameras, especially using consumer-level equipment outside of a laboratory. In this talk we discuss interactive mobile computational photography. We present several research projects done at Nokia that capture the images on a camera phone, process them right after the capture, and allows the users to even edit them and make an informed decision whether more data is needed for the perfect picture. We also discuss some fundamental tools for handheld computational photography, and give an overview of a new camera control API that makes implementation of such applications so much easier. George Drettakis Title: Twenty years of Rendering Research: past, present and future Abstract In this talk we will start with a retrospective of some key research results developed by our group and others, which were presented at the Eurographics workshops and symposia on Rendering in the last 20 years. These will cover topics such as global illumination (radiosity, Monte Carlo and even PRT), point-based techniques, interactive/GPU rendering and texture synthesis. We will then discuss four challenges we consider important for current and future rendering research. First, the development of theoretical foundations for recent interactive and real-time algorithms. Second, the development of more powerful image-based rendering solutions, building on the wealth of previous simulation-based rendering research results. Third, further integration of perceptual studies in core rendering research. Last but not least, the expansion of rendering into the domain of user interaction research, which we believe is an important and unlimited source of important research challenges for the future. We will illustrate each challenge with examples of recent or current research we have developed, and our thoughts on future directions. ------------------------------------- Registration Fees Early Bird (before June 8th, 2010) Non-Member 450 Euro Student Non-Member 315 Euro EG-Members / ACM-Members 350 Euro Student EG-Members / Student ACM-Members 270 Euro Regular Prices (after June 8th, 2010) Non-Member 500 Euro Student Non-Member 365 Euro EG-Members / ACM-Members 400 Euro Student EG-Members / Student ACM-Members 300 Euro ----------------------------------------

MEDIA RETARGETING WORKSHOP: CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------- MEDIA RETARGETING WORKSHOP in conjunction with ECCV 2010, September 10, Crete, Greece <http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/MRW2010> http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/MRW2010 OVERVIEW Media retargeting is the process of adapting media content such as images or video to the characteristics of different output devices. Media retargeting has received considerable attention in computer vision and graphics research in the recent years due to the growing variability in capture devices and displays (small displays in mobile devices, large high resolution displays in home cinema systems) and the availability of huge amounts of image and video data. Besides converting video between different display sizes, the spectrum of problems related to media retargeting also comprises issues such as color adaptation between different dynamic ranges, or the automatic conversion of 2D to 3D footage for upcoming stereoscopic consumer display devices. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from all areas of computer vision, machine learning, and computer graphics, and to stimulate the discussion about shared concepts and recent progress on topics ranging from perceptual content analysis over efficient optimization algorithms for retargeting to systematic evaluation of already existing techniques. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite high quality, original submissions for presentation during the workshop. Contributions from the following areas are especially welcome: * video or image retargeting of aspect ratio and resolution * color retargeting between low and high dynamic ranges * visual saliency estimation * attention estimation and perceptual metrics * temporal retargeting and content summarization * retargeting of stereoscopic content * monocular video to stereo conversion * relevant optimization techniques * systematic evaluation and user studies of relevant methods * perceptual studies of retargeting results * multi-modal retargeting (e.g. video and sound) DATES * Full paper submission: June 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: July 9, 2010 * Camera ready version of accepted papers: July 13, 2010 KEYNOTE SPEAKER * Ariel Shamir, Efi Arazi School of Computer Science, Herzliya ORGANIZERS * Thomas Deselaers, ETH Zurich * Alexander Hornung, Disney Research Zurich * Olga Sorkine, New York University
