CFP : SHREC 2016_Track on Partial Shape Queries for 3D Object Retrieval [Deadlines Extension]

by eurographics＠eg.org

< !! Deadlines Extension to February 19, 2016 !! > SHREC 2016: Track on Partial Shape Queries for 3D Object Retrieval ( <http://vc.ee.duth.gr/shrec16/> http://vc.ee.duth.gr/shrec16/) Overview Despite numerous recent efforts, 3D object retrieval based on partial shape queries remains a challenging problem, far from being solved. The problem can be defined as: given a partial view of a shape as query, retrieve all partially similar 3D models from a repository. The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of partial 3D object retrieval methods, for partial shape queries of various qualities and degrees of partiality. Datasets The dataset used for evaluation is related to the cultural heritage domain and consists of 3D pottery models originating from the Virtual Hampson Museum collection ( <http://hampson.cast.uark.edu> http://hampson.cast.uark.edu). The dataset consists of 383 models classified to 6 distinct geometrically defined classes (bottle, bowl, jar, effigy, lithics and others). The partial shape queries are provided in 3 different forms: (i) artificial queries created by slicing and cap filling of the complete 3D models, (ii) real high quality queries, obtained with the smartSCAN Breuckmann scanner, (iii) real low quality queries, obtained with Microsoft Kinect V2 sensor. In the case of (ii) and (iii), the queries were created by scanning derivative vessels that have been constructed by a professional potter using the Hampson models as a template. For all 3 forms, queries are provided for multiple degrees of partiality. Task and procedure Prospective participants are expected to: . send an e-mail to ipratika(at)ee.duth.gr until the registration deadline (February 8, 2016), in order to confirm their participation. All group members and their affiliations should be indicated, . submit a distance matrix for each retrieval setting. Each such setting is associated with one of the 3 different forms of queries, with a specified degree of partiality. Each matrix might be the result of a different algorithm, or a different parameter setting. It is not mandatory for each group to address all 3 forms of queries. Detailed information on the distance matrix file format will be provided soon, . submit one or many runs. . provide a one-page description of the testing method. Each method will be evaluated based on its distance matrices, using standard retrieval scores (nearest neighbor, first tier, second tier, etc). The track results will be presented into a joint paper, to be published in the proceedings of EG 3DOR 2016. Timeline January 13 - Call for participation January 25 - Sample partial 3D queries and targets will be available online February 19 - Registration deadline February 22 - Distribution of the 3D partial query set February 29 - Submission of the results and one-page description March 15 - Track paper submission for review April 1 - Camera-ready track paper submission May 7-8 - EG 3DOR Workshop, including SHREC' 2016 Organizers Ioannis Pratikakis - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Michalis Savelonas - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Fotis Arnaoutoglou - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Anestis Koutsoudis - Athena RC, Greece Theoharis Theoharis - NTNU, Norway

Extended deadline for Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2016)

by eurographics＠eg.org

**************************************************** Extended CFP - Apologies for multiple copies **************************************************** Due to many requests from authors, the submission deadline has been extended to March 4, 2016, 23h59 CET Call for Papers : Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2016) <https://wiced.inria.fr/> https://wiced.inria.fr/ Co-located with Eurographics in Lisbon, Portugal. 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 fifth 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, visualization, 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 art-works in virtual worlds and the real world. Important Dates (NEW) Paper submission: March 4, 2016. (Extended) Notification to authors: April 1, 2016. (Extended) Camera-ready deadline: April 15, 2016. (Extended) Workshop held: Monday, May 9, 2016 in Lisbon, Portugal. Submission Researchers should submit one of: * Regular paper (max 8 pages) reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. * One-page abstract describing work in progress or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing in the EG Digital Library. Organizing committee The international workshop series is supervised by a steering committee composed of Magy Seif El-Nasr (Northeastern University), R. Michael Young (NC State University), Joseph Magliano (Northern Illinois University), Paolo Burelli (Aalborg University Copenhagen), Arnav Jhala (UC Santa Cruz), and Remi Ronfard (Inria Grenoble).

CFP : SHREC 2016_Track on Partial Shape Queries for 3D Object Retrieval

by eurographics＠eg.org

SHREC 2016: Track on Partial Shape Queries for 3D Object Retrieval ( <http://vc.ee.duth.gr/shrec16/> http://vc.ee.duth.gr/shrec16/) Overview Despite numerous recent efforts, 3D object retrieval based on partial shape queries remains a challenging problem, far from being solved. The problem can be defined as: given a partial view of a shape as query, retrieve all partially similar 3D models from a repository. The objective of this track is to evaluate the performance of partial 3D object retrieval methods, for partial shape queries of various qualities and degrees of partiality. Datasets The dataset used for evaluation is related to the cultural heritage domain and consists of 3D pottery models originating from the Virtual Hampson Museum collection ( <http://hampson.cast.uark.edu> http://hampson.cast.uark.edu). The dataset consists of 383 models classified to 6 distinct geometrically defined classes (bottle, bowl, jar, effigy, lithics and others). The partial shape queries are provided in 3 different forms: (i) artificial queries created by slicing and cap filling of the complete 3D models, (ii) real high quality queries, obtained with the smartSCAN Breuckmann scanner, (iii) real low quality queries, obtained with Microsoft Kinect V2 sensor. In the case of (ii) and (iii), the queries were created by scanning derivative vessels that have been constructed by a professional potter using the Hampson models as a template. For all 3 forms, queries are provided for multiple degrees of partiality. Task and procedure Prospective participants are expected to: . send an e-mail to ipratika(at)ee.duth.gr until the registration deadline (February 8, 2016), in order to confirm their participation. All group members and their affiliations should be indicated, . submit a distance matrix for each retrieval setting. Each such setting is associated with one of the 3 different forms of queries, with a specified degree of partiality. Each matrix might be the result of a different algorithm, or a different parameter setting. It is not mandatory for each group to address all 3 forms of queries. Detailed information on the distance matrix file format will be provided soon, . submit one or many runs. . provide a one-page description of the testing method. Each method will be evaluated based on its distance matrices, using standard retrieval scores (nearest neighbor, first tier, second tier, etc). The track results will be presented into a joint paper, to be published in the proceedings of EG 3DOR 2016. Timeline January 13 - Call for participation January 25 - Sample partial 3D queries and targets will be available online February 8 - Registration deadline February 12 - Distribution of the 3D partial query set February 22 - Submission of the results and one-page description March 15 - Track paper submission for review April 1 - Camera-ready track paper submission May 7-8 - EG 3DOR Workshop, including SHREC' 2016 Organizers Ioannis Pratikakis - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Michalis Savelonas - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Fotis Arnaoutoglou - Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Anestis Koutsoudis - Athena RC, Greece Theoharis Theoharis - NTNU, Norway
