CfP: 3DOR 2015 >> Deadline: February 20, 2015 : FINAL REMINDER

by eurographics＠eg.org

3D Object Retrieval Workshop (3DOR) 2015 Co-located event with Eurographics 2015 Website: <http://vc.ee.duth.gr/3dor2015/> http://vc.ee.duth.gr/3dor2015/ ====================================== !! FINAL REMINDER !! PAPER SUBMISSION : FEBRUARY 20, 2015 ======================================== Do you remember the days when retrieving the data that you needed from the internet was a matter of visiting sites your friends knew? The days when you would try out alternative search engines to find a single result? Was it a coincidence that text retrieval engines flourished with the explosion of textual information on the internet that could not be manually explored? A new wave of information is now underway. Low-cost 3D scanners and 3D printers combined with popular applications of Computer Graphics and Vision are making 3D object models appeal to an increasing audience. See for example repositories such as <http://shapes.aimatshape.net/> http://shapes.aimatshape.net/ , <https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/> https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/. As these 3D object collections are growing, the importance of effective retrieval, search and exploration is increasing. Because it is easier to find something than to create it from scratch and because manual browsing quickly becomes intractable as a collection grows. To this effect it is crucial to develop algorithms for the content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; indexing 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for data bases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance such as what it means for two shapes to be similar; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms. Many fields of Computer Science and beyond can offer their valuable knowledge to this complex but highly interesting and practical problem. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2015will be the 8th workshop in this series. 3DOR 2015 will be a 2-day event for the first time and will contain the following tracks: research papers, posters, 2 keynote speeches (NEW!), EU project presentations and networking (NEW!), industrial session (NEW!). Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object similarity and matching - 3D video retrieval - 3D mobile media retrieval - 3D object retrieval and Web3D - 3D search in large scale data - Personalized 3D search - 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 - Statistical techniques for 3D shape analysis and retrieval - Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage.

CFP Reminder : 4th Workshop on Intelligent Camera Control, Cinematography and Editing

by eurographics＠eg.org

CFP Reminder : 4th Workshop on Intelligent Camera Control, Cinematography and Editing The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of games and virtual worlds. Cinematics produced in virtual worlds play a role not just for entertainment, but also for training, education, health-care communication, simulation, visualization and many other contexts. The automatic creation of cinematics in these environments holds the potential to produce video sequences appropriate for the wide range of applications and tailored to specific spatial, temporal, communicative, user and application contexts. At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video. This third workshop on intelligent cinematography and editing is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront research being performed in both domains. One common area of active research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told and its relation to teaching, training or therapeutic goals. The workshop is open to researchers and industrial experts working on the many related aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualisation, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. These researchers will draw upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic artworks in virtual worlds and the real world. Topics of interest o Camera path planning o Visibility computation o Viewpoint entropy o Navigation techniques and proximal exploration o Interactive camera control metaphors o Approaches to framing and composition of individual shots o Automatic lighting design o Intelligent staging and blocking of virtual lights, cameras and actors o Expressive performance of virtual characters o Intelligent video editing tools o Efficient algorithms for camera placement and shot sequence selection o Natural user interfaces for camera control and video editing o Parallels between cinematic and linguistic communication o Cognitive models of the comprehension of virtual cinematics o Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing of live-action video o Computer-assisted multi-camera production o Virtual cinematography as a pre-visualisation tool for real-world filming o Intelligent tools and novel interfaces for in-game cinematics, replays, and machinima o Intelligent generation of comic book layouts o Evaluation methodologies and user experience o Interactive and generative cinema o Cinematic serious game and applications o Collaborative visual storytelling o Non-linear storytelling o Transmedia storytelling o Creativity in cinematic communication Submission Researchers should submit one of: . 8 page paper reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. . 1 page abstract describing emergent work or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee; review criteria will intentionally be inclusive rather than competitive, to encourage work in progress and a broader participation in a nascent community of researchers. Reviews will include feedback for authors regardless of decision for acceptance or rejection. All the selected papers (excluding statements of interest) will be published in the workshop's working notes. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing provided in the EG Digital Library.
