PhD Position "Optimising 3D Light Transport" at Delft University of Technology

by eurographics＠eg.org

PhD Position "Optimising 3D Light Transport" at Delft University of Technology Job description Controlling light in an environment is a difficult task, since many aspects such as materials, light sources, and arrangement have to be considered. The main objective of our work is to produce novel, interactive solutions for high-performance light transport computations and accompanying visual analysis. We will investigate practical aspects, such as efficient ray-tracing solutions, and search for a theoretical understanding of the underlying methodologies to derive controllable tradeoffs between accuracy and performance. To this extent, we will address the problem from various angles. First, we opt for new hierarchical approaches and alternative representations for visibility and transport queries. We recently presented compact and compressed scene representations and intend to adapt their use to light transport. Here, we will also focus on alternative representations of material properties, which are a key ingredient for an efficient and accurate multi-scale light transport. Secondly, we intend to explore efficient use of multi-core environments and progressive rendering solutions. The candidate will have access to a dedicated computer cluster environment. Third, we want to build upon recent signal reconstruction techniques to minimise the computational cost of the overall process. Finally, we will develop specialised techniques to support light transport analysis and facilitate scene setups. Requirements We are looking for a candidate who meets the following requirements: . You are a talented and enthusiastic researcher. . You have experience with or a strong background in computer graphics, high-performance computing, and image processing. . Preferably you have a Master degree in Computer Science, (Applied) Mathematics, (Applied) Physics or Electrical Engineering. . You have excellent programming skills and experience (e.g. C++, OpenGL). . You have good communication skills and the attitude to participate successfully in the work of a multidisciplinary research team. . You are creative, ambitious, hardworking and persistent. . You have a good command of the English language (knowledge of Dutch is not required). Application In all correspondences, please refer to the vacancy number EWI2016.20. For more information about this position, please contact Prof. Elmar Eisemann, e-mail: E.Eisemann(a)TUDelft.nl cc:P.Bauszat@tudelft.nl. To apply, please send a detailed CV together with a letter of motivation, list of grades and (if applicable) published material in English, and two references to the above contact emails. The application deadline is the 20th of July, starting date is end of the year/beginning of next year based on the availability of the candidate.

Due to several requests, we now have a slightly extended deadline. ====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2016 (CGVC 2016) The 34th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 15-16 September 2016, Bournemouth University, UK, <http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2016/> http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2016/ <http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2016/> CGVC 2016 <http://www.eguk.org.uk> www.eguk.org.uk EGUK Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) 2016 Conference Website ====================================================== Important Dates (Extended Deadline): Submission Deadline: ***** 22 June 2016 ***** Notification of Acceptance: 20 July 2016 Camera Ready: 10 August 2016 Conference: 15-16 September 2016 ====================================================== The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2016 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions of full papers. Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will count as full paper publications. Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere. Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference. Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters during a poster session. Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See full instruction at the conference website. ====================================================== Topics include but are not limited to: Computer animation and image-based animation Computer-based arts and entertainment Vision-based techniques and image processing Acquisition and reconstruction techniques Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware Medical imaging Multimedia visualisation Computer Games Rendering techniques Scientific visualization and big data Information visualization Visual analytics Augmented reality and collaborative environments Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics Modelling methods ====================================================== Conference co-chairs: Dr Cagatay Turkay, City University London, UK, Dr Tao Ruan Wan, Bradford University, UK.

Call for papers UDMV2016

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for papers UDMV2016 The objective of this workshop is to discuss the modelling and visualisation of the city at various temporal and spatial scales and aims at sharing associated techniques, methods, uses and points of view. Managing and understanding urban data are major issues as they are represented by several kind of different data at different scales. Urban data not only embed the geometry of the city model, but also data related to human activities (e.g. social data, transportation, mobility, history), to physical phenomena (e.g. light, wind, heat), and to environment (e.g. geography, climate). Thus, their processing is a big challenge for current GIS and computing capabilities, especially considering all the sustainable development parameters related to architectural design, urban planning and urban climate studies; but also considering the specific needs of entertainment, cultural heritage or any domains using urban data. The workshop aims to gather in a same place GIS, BIM and computer graphics communities. Important dates July 20, 2016: Paper submission September 5, 2016: Author notification October 10, 2016: Camera-ready paper December 8, 2016: Workshop Location Following the success of the 3rd workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation as a single event in Delft, NL, the 4th edition of the workshop is organised by the Faculty of Architecture and the Geomatics Unit of the University of Liège. Under the auspice of the Eurographics organization, the workshop will be held on December 8th in Liège, Belgium. Once again, we expect fruitful exchanges by the involvement of the computer graphics, the geoinformation and the GIS communities. Contributions addressing the following topics are welcome: Modelling the static and dynamic features of the city (spatio-temporal data) Multi-scale geometric data (from building scale to urban scale) Multi-scale temporal data (from real time to history time) Visualisation of several urban data layers (aggregated indicators) Visual analytics using urban data (decision making processes and CAD) Publications Expected contributions are research papers, 6 pages in EG publication format, presenting unpublished methods, algorithms and techniques with established results. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference by one of the authors, and will be published in the EG Digital Library.
