Call for Position Papers We invite authors to submit a proposal for a position papers on topics of interest to the EG Workshop on 3DOR. As many challenges in 3D object retrieval, search and exploration lie at the boundary between different disciplines, we encourage contributions from different fields, such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Information Retrieval, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. Position papers are expected to present an opinion about an issue, without the need to present full research and/or experimental results. Nonetheless, we encourage authors to support their views with clear arguments and evidence. A position paper may be a discussion of ideas, methods, results, and trends, focused on any of the workshop topics. Though, position papers about the following topics would be particularly welcome: * Current role, impact and future perspectives of 3D search, retrieval and navigation on real-world applications (including, but not limited to: medicine, biometrics, cultural heritage, e-commerce, fabrication) * What lessons can 3D search and retrieval learn from decades of Information Retrieval? * 3D search and big data search and analytics: commonalities and differences; * Similarity as a cognitive process: how can descriptors and metrics reflect the user perspective; * The role of users in current 3D search platforms, and trends for the future: user profiling, interaction modalities, feedback gathering and exploitation. Submissions must not have been previously published or submitted for publication in any other workshop, conference, journal or book. Technical and research papers will not be accepted under the position papers category. Submissions must be in English and limited to four pages, following the same guidelines for technical papers.

SHREC 2016 - Call for Track Proposals

by eurographics＠eg.org

SHREC 2016 Call for Track Proposals Introduction The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC'16 is the eleventh edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics 2016 Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results will be reviewed and included in the workshop proceedings. Thanks to the efforts of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's contest, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a test collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance assessment, and performance measures. The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will be published in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop 3D Object Retrieval. At least one author per track must register for the workshop, and present the results. We also cordially invite all participants of a track to register and attend the workshop. Tracks The tracks organized in the past years have covered different aspects and tasks of 3D shape retrieval, for example: rigid or non-rigid models; partial (i.e. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or domain specific models (i.e. CAD, biometrics, architectural and protein), correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification, recognition, pose estimation and machine learning. Now, we solicit again proposals for tracks. You may opt for one of the above themes, or propose new ones. Track organizers are responsible for all aspects of organizing the track, such as: the task, the data collection (copyright issues, etc.), the queries, the ground truth, the experimental design, the evaluation method, and the procedural aspects, writing the final paper in collaboration with the contestants, and submitting it. See the <http://www.shrec.net/> SHREC page for examples of organizational aspects of previous tracks. Procedure The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities: 1. Potential track organizers send their proposal to shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, and expected number of participants; 2. Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC web page, the track organizers start working out the details 3. Participants register for the tracks they want to participate in; 4. Each track is performed according to its own schedule; 5. The track organizers collect the results; 6. The track results are combined into a joint paper, to be included in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval; 7.

Expressive 2016 - Call for Papers Reminder

by eurographics＠eg.org

Expressive 2016 Call for Papers Reminder Date: May 79, 2016 Location: Lisbon, Portugal URL: <http://expressive.graphics/2016/> http://expressive.graphics/2016/ Co-sponsored by: ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics Abstract submission deadline: February 1, 2016 Paper submission deadline: February 7, 2016 Acceptance notification: March 13, 2016 Expressive 2016 is a joint symposium that includes * Computational Aesthetics (CAe) <http://expressive.graphics/2016/CAe/Home> , * <http://expressive.graphics/2016/NPAR/Home> Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR), and * <http://expressive.graphics/2016/SBIM/Home> Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). The conference will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, May 79, 2016, and it will be co-located with the <http://eurographics2016.pt/> Eurographics 2016 conference. A single registration for Expressive 2016 will include all three symposia. Invited talks and artists talks will be shared among the conferences and sessions will be mixed. The submission, review, and publication process for the event will be handled jointly across the three conferences. Each paper submission should be designated as belonging to one of the three tracks. Computational Aesthetics Computational Aesthetics (CAe) bridges the analytic and synthetic by integrating aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviors. CAe also investigates the creation of tools that can enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and furthers our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception, and meaning. The Computational Aesthetics conference brings together individuals with technical experience of developing computer-based tools to solve aesthetic problems and people with artistic/design backgrounds who use these new tools and inform their design. Refereed CAepapers and artworks aim to facilitate a dialog between scientists and engineers, and also artists and designers. Presentations will provide a snapshot of the latest technical breakthroughs and the most recent artistic or design achievements in applying computer-based techniques to solve aesthetic problems. Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific technical areas include, but are not limited to: * computational analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) * artistic image transformation techniques (colors, edges, patterns, dithering) * image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others) * visualization (perceptual, affective or aesthetics based) * sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive) * composition, visual balance, layout * non-photorealistic and illustrative rendering addressing computational aesthetics * empirically based metrics of aesthetic attributes * applied visual perception (color appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects) * measuring and describing aesthetics * computational tools for artists Successful submissions can, for example, describe novel technical approaches that address one or more of the areas mentioned above (or beyond). However, we are equally interested in papers that discuss the use of existing techniques but combine them in an interesting new way or apply them in a new context that addresses problems in computational aesthetics. Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling Advances in pen-based computer hardware have enabled digital sketch-based interfaces to emerge as a powerful way to combine the quick and intuitive feel of paper with the power of computation. However, fully realizing the potential of these sketch-based systems requires effective input devices, user interface design and underlying algorithms to analyze the input. The goal of this symposium is to explore models, algorithms and technologies needed to enable effective sketch-based interfaces. It investigates novel methods for classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics and 3D shapes. Likewise, the symposium explores the application of sketch-based interfaces to 3D computer graphics, animation, CAD and computer games, as well as other specific applications such as diagram editing, note taking and novel input devices. Finally, the symposium welcomes empirical user studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing them to other interaction techniques. Created in 2004, SBIM provides a unique venue for researchers, students and practitioners interested in sketch-based techniques to interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results and discuss open issues. Topic areas for SBIM 2016 include but are not limited to: * Multimodal interfaces for sketching * Novel sketch input and editing devices * Novel pen-based interaction techniques * Low level ink processing and pen stroke segmentation * Sketch parsing, classification and recognition * Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems * Sketch-based modeling and editing of 3D shapes * Sketch-based control of animations * Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (surface editing, diagram creation, mathematical annotations, games, etc.) * Rendering techniques for sketch-based systems (NPR) * Sketches for medical and volume data editing * Sketch-based retrieval of multimedia information * Usability studies of sketch-based systems * Studies of the impact of sketching on creativity and design * Multi-touch interfaces and applications Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) refers to computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually generate imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. We invite researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers and posters on their work. Submitted papers should be self-classified into one of the following three categories: Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional NPAR papers). These must contain novel results that make a substantive contribution to the field. Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results. Topic areas of NPAR 2016 include, but are not limited to: * Expressive character animation and physics * Abstraction and stylization of images/video * Interaction techniques * Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films) * NPAR in real software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) * Visual composition * Hardware acceleration * Evaluation methods for NPAR algorithms * Psychophysics of NPAR * Rendering and layout for text and presentation graphics * Quantitative analysis of human artists * Generative or evolutionary approaches * Style transfer * Temporal and spatial coherence * Adapting classic CG effects like motion blur, depth of field, and lighting for NPAR * Simulation of natural media and traditional styles * Non-traditional camera models * Position papers on grand challenges Technical Paper Submissions Technical papers should present original, unpublished work. There is no absolute maximum length for paper submissions; please use the <http://s2015.siggraph.org/submitters/technical-papers/publication-requireme nts/> SIGGRAPH length guidelines. In particular, note that papers longer than 810 pages must make a very significant contribution to be accepted. Manuscripts must be written in English, and should follow the <https://www.eg.org/index.php/publications/guidelines#WS_Authors> Eurographics formatting instructions, including a title page with an abstract and keywords, and a bibliography. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Research papers are reviewed double-blind and so must be anonymous when submitted. Information on the submission process will be available on our website. Paper submissions will be made electronically through the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/Expressive_2016> Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) system. Please be sure to remove all personal data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity. Do not forget to designate the paper submission as belonging to one of the three tracks. Please also note that only PDF files will be accepted for your submission. Make sure that all fonts are embedded in your PDF file. Additional material such as additional images or videos may be submitted as PDF or as a zipped archive (ZIP files) with a maximum size of 30 MB.

Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2016: CALL FOR PAPERS

by eurographics＠eg.org

Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2016 CALL FOR PAPERS The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2016 will take place in Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland, over 22-24 June 2016. This 27th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on rendering. It will be co-located with Eurographics High Performance Graphics, which will be held 20-22 June 2016. With the success of the last year's submission process, the "Experimental Ideas & Implementations" track will be maintained in addition to the traditional EGSR papers track (the "CGF track"). Authors will have the choice of submitting their work to the CGF track, the experimental track, or both. The CGF submission track will remain as is, continuing the long tradition of disseminating state-of-the-art scientific results in rendering and related fields. Accepted papers in this track will be published as an issue of Computer Graphics Forum after a full peer review, including a rebuttal and a second review cycle. The "Experimental Ideas & Implementations" conference-papers track has as an explicit goal to solicit submissions that describe either exciting new ideas that have not yet been validated according to the high academic standard of the CGF track, or interesting implementation issues for known algorithms in industry-scale uses. The requirements on comparisons to related work, citations, and quality of results are relaxed in exchange for key questions such as the following. Is the idea stimulating and interesting? Would it spark discussion and give valuable insights to the rendering community? Papers in this track will undergo full double-blind peer review using its own review form, and will be published in the EGSR conference proceedings series and in the Eurographics Digital Library, but not the CGF journal. There is no rebuttal or second review cycle. Consistent with common practice, authors would have the opportunity to build upon the conference paper, add comparisons and validation, and submit the work to a journal later. Please see below for FAQ regarding the new track. For both tracks, we are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and related fields. In particular, we encourage submission in the related topics of appearance modeling, virtual/augmented reality, computational displays, fabrication, and hardware architectures. Neither track imposes a fixed maximum paper length. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must be proportional to contribution. If a paper is submitted to both tracks, the reviewers will be initially left oblivious of this fact. Of those papers rejected from the CGF track, the chairs at their discretion may select the strongest of those papers and submit them for an accelerated review to EI&I. Core conference topics include (but are not limited to): Global illumination Real-time and offline rendering Acquisition, modeling, and manipulation of light transport & appearance Realistic, non-photorealistic, 2D, and 3D image processing & synthesis Mathematical techniques for image synthesis Computational photography/optics/displays Image synthesis for augmented or virtual reality Software and hardware systems/architectures for rendering Audio/sound rendering Important dates (applying to both CGF and EI&I tracks unless specifically indicated): Abstract deadline Monday 28 March 2016 Papers deadline Friday 1 April 2016 Reviews due Wednesday 4 May 2016 Rebuttal due Monday 9 May 2016 (CGF track) Author notification Tuesday 17 May 2016 Final papers due Tuesday 24 May 2016 Final notification Friday 27 May 2016 (CGF track) All times are 23:59 (midnight) UTC. More information can be found on the conference webpage: http://egsr2016.scss.tcd.ie We hope to see you and your work in Dublin! Elmar Eisemann Eugene Fiume EGSR 2016 papers chairs Frequently Asked Questions about the Experimental Ideas & Implementations Track Q: What's the process with the extended journal version? A: Once you have a paper accepted in the new track and published in the conference proceedings, many journals, CGF included, apply the rule by which adding 30% new material and addressing any major issues that had precluded journal publication would qualify the revised paper for consideration in the journal. The authors should indicate the nature of the submission in a cover letter. In addition, the EGSR papers committee and CGF editors may, at their discretion, invite select papers from the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track to a fast-track second review cycle in Computer Graphics Forum. Q: Why would I submit to both tracks? A: Should the committee decide your paper is not, in the form it was submitted, suitable for the CGF track, it could then be forwarded to the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track by the paper chairs. You, the author, get a paper, valuable feedback, visibility for your ideas, and the possibility of later extending your work into a journal paper if the work is accepted in this second track. However, if you feel your contribution clearly falls within the scope of the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track but not the CGF track, please only submit to the former. This makes the job of the reviewers and the committee easier, which is of particular importance because the review schedule is tight. Q: What if my paper includes interesting system and implementation details but less algorithmic or mathematical novelty? A: We would love to consider your work for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: What if I have an intriguing idea but I have no idea if it works or not, or it only works in a certain special case? A: We would love to consider your paper for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Come present it and we'll all talk about it together. Q: Are Experimental Ideas & Implementations papers presented in separate sessions? A: No. In the spirit of promoting new and interesting ideas, all papers will be presented alongside in sessions that fit their topic.
