CfP EG 3DOR2012: Extension of submission deadline until January 26th

by Stefanie Behnke

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies] *** Extension of submission deadline until January 26th *** Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2012 A co-event of Eurographics 2012 May 13, 2012 <http://eg3dor2012.ist.utl.pt/> # Important dates Jan 26, 2012: Paper Submission (extended) Feb 16, 2012: Notification of acceptance Feb 27, 2012: Camera-ready papers May 13, 2012: Workshop takes place # 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series 3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine. Indeed, the rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, the problem of creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing 3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning and Human-Computer Interaction who work on the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field. This will provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. The 5th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2012) is a co-event of the 33rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2012). The workshop will take place on May 13, 2012 in Cagliari, Italy. # Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system presentations. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object similarity and matching - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval - Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching - Matching under uncertainty and noise - Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification - Sketch-based retrieval - Query interfaces and search modalities - Benchmarking issues - Relevance feedback methods - Active learning - Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in multimedia, CAD, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. This years workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC2012). A separate call for participation will be issued later on. Extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop will appear, after a further review, in special issues of international journals. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal and the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) published by Springer. # Organization Chairs Michela Spagnuolo (IMATI-CNR, Italy) Michael Bronstein (Universitá della Svizzera Italiana, Switzerland) Programme Chairs Alexander Bronstein (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) Alfredo Ferreira (Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal) Program Committee Afzal Godil (National Institute of the Standards and Technology, USA) Alberto Del Bimbo (University of Florence, Italy) Atilla Baskurt (INSA Lyon, France) Benjamin Bustos (University of Chile, Chile) Bianca Falcidieno (IMATI-CNR, Italy) Daniel Cohen-Or (Tel Aviv University, Israel) Daniela Giorgi (IMATI-CNR, Italy) Dietmar Saupe (University of Konstanz, Germany) Frank Ter Haar (Utrecht University, The Netherlands) Georgios Papaioannou (AUEB, Greece) Hamid Laga (Institut Telecom / Telecom Lille1, France) Ioannis Pratikakis (IIT / NCSR Demokritos, Greece ) Kai Hormann (University of Lugano, Switzerland) Karthik Ramani (Purdue University, USA) Maks Ovsjanikov (Stanford University / Google Inc., USA) Marcos Rodrigues (University of Sheffield, UK) Martin Reuter Mohamed Daoudi (TELECOM Lille1 / LIFL, France) Nicholas Patrikalakis (MIT, USA) Nikolaos Sapidis (University of Western Macedonia) Niloy Mitra (University College of London, UK) Petros Daras (Informatics and Telematics Institute, Greece) Raif M.

The conference brings together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics algorithms, and novel applications. High Performance Graphics was founded in 2009 to synthesize and broaden on two important and well-respected conferences in computer graphics: Graphics Hardware and Interactive Ray Tracing. CONFERENCE INFO Co-sponsored by Eurographics and ACM SIGGRAPH (pending) 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 the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering in Paris, France. The conference website is http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/ PAPERS TRACK We invite original and innovative performance-oriented contributions from all areas of graphics, including hardware architectures, rendering, physics, animation, simulation, and data structures, with topics including (but not limited to): - Interactive rendering pipelines (hardware or software) + Shading architectures + Spatial acceleration data structures + Surface representations and tessellation algorithms + Reconfigurable rendering pipelines + Texturing and compression/decompression algorithms - Interactive rendering algorithms (hardware or software) + Visibility algorithms (ray tracing, rasterization, transparency, anti-aliasing, ...) + Illumination algorithms (global illumination, shadows, ...) + Image sampling strategies and filtering techniques - Graphics hardware and systems + Novel fixed-function hardware design + Graphics hardware simulation, optimization, and performance measurement + Novel display technologies - Languages and compilation + Programming models and APIs for graphics + Shading language design and implementation + Compiling for massively parallel graphics architectures - Parallel computing for graphics + Scalable algorithms for parallel rendering and large data visualization + Physics and animation + Computer vision + GPU computing - Mobile graphics + Hardware design for mobile, embedded, integrated, and low-power devices + Algorithms, rendering engines, and applications for mobile graphics + Innovative visual computing applications for mobile devices OTHER INFORMATION: Instructions about the submission procedure, keynote speakers and the complete International Program Committee will be available on the conference website in due time. HOT 3D SYSTEMS TRACK We invite vendors in the graphics industry to present their latest and greatest 3D chips, high-performance software, and system designs. Presentations should be 20 minutes long, technical rather than marketing-oriented, and with a focus on real products. Hot 3D presentations are not considered archival publications for the purposes of future submission to peer-reviewed venues. POSTERS We also invite the submission of posters describing on-going or late-breaking work. In addition to traditional posters, this session will be enhanced to provide opportunities for paper authors to present implementation details or hands-on demonstrations. IMPORTANT DATES PAPERS: Tuesday, April 3, Deadline for paper abstract submissions (strongly encouraged) Friday, April 6, Deadline for paper submissions Monday, May 14, Notification of paper acceptance Tuesday, May 22, Revised papers due HOT 3D & POSTERS: Monday, May 7, Deadline for poster and Hot 3D submissions Monday, May 14, Notification of poster and Hot 3D acceptance All deadlines are at 11:59 pm GMT. BEST PAPER AWARD An award of $500 will be given to the authors of the most outstanding paper presented at the event. The award is based on the accuracy, originality, and importance of the technical concept, the quality and readability of the manuscript, as well as the content and delivery of the verbal presentation. The winner will be chosen based on audience feedback and will be announced at the end of the conference. DEMONSTRATIONS Presenters and participants are invited to bring prototypes and products for demonstration at the event. Demonstrations will be held during breaks and before and after the sessions. We highly encourage paper authors and industry presenters to demonstrate their systems.
