EG2017 tutorial call

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Tutorials The Eurographics 2015 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials teaching the technical background of a given subject, or demonstrating its potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial you should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education and application. We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics. Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle. Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by external reviewers. The final selection will be based on quality of the submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference topics, and balance of topics. Each accepted half day tutorial will be granted a free conference registration for one speaker, while each full-day tutorial will be granted a maximum of two free conference registrations. For any question concerning tutorial submissions please contact the tutorial co-chairs (see below). Submission Details Tutorial proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the tutorial co-chairs. The full proposal (4-5 pages) should be submitted by Friday, October 28th 2016. The acceptance notification date is Friday, December 2nd, 2016. The full proposal should contain the following information: Presenter(s) details: Name(s) Institution(s) email address(es) URL(s) Tutorial details: Title of Tutorial Keywords Half or full day tutorial (either 2×90 minutes or 4×90 minutes) A detailed outline of the tutorial. A statement on the necessary background and potential target audience for the tutorial. A brief resume of the presenter(s) indicating their background in the area the tutorial addresses. If a (similar) tutorial was previously held, indicate the location (i.e., which conference), date, and the number of attendees. Please provide information highlighting changes, improvements and/or why the tutorial should be held again in this form. Course Notes Sample course notes, although not required in the submission, are highly encouraged to accompany the tutorial proposals. Notes may include original text, formatted according to the Eurographics publication guidelines, reprints of earlier papers (subject to copyright approval), slides and any other material the authors consider useful. All course notes of accepted tutorials will be distributed to conference participants online and on USB-Sticks. The acceptance of tutorial proposals is contingent upon the final submission of complete course notes.

Eurographics 2017 Call for State of the Art Reports

by eurographics＠eg.org

Eurographics 2017 Call for State of the Art Reports Accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any recent previous STAR. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library. At EUROGRAPHICS 2017, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow this presentation. For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs Matthias Zwicker and Victor Ostromoukhov : <mailto:chairs-eg2017stars@eg.org> chairs-eg2017stars(a)eg.org Submission Details This year, STARs will undergo a single-blind, double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers. Hence, there is no need to prepare a STAR proposal first. Instead, authors must submit their full-length STAR. We do not impose strict maximum lengths for these submissions. However, it is recommended that papers be up to 20 pages excluding references and the authors' short bios, to conform to the general recommendation for CGF survey papers. Each STAR will be reviewed by three members of the IPC who are experts in the respective topic. Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the Eurographics conference. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to submit the brief biographies of all authors as a piece of supplementary materials. Electronic submissions of STARs is mandatory and will be conducted using the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017STARs> Submission and Review Management System (SRMv2). The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is 23:59 UTC/GMT, September 17th 2016, with notification of conditional acceptance on December 23rd, 2016. The revised version of conditionally accepted STARs will have to be submitted at a later date for a second review, and the camera ready version will be due about 6 weeks before the start of the conference. We strongly encourage the authors to submit a short abstract before September 1st, 2016. Important Dates September 1st, 2016 Short abstract September 17th, 2016, 23:59 GMT Full STAR submission December 23rd, 2016 First review notification January 29th, 2017 Revised STAR submission February 25th, 2017 Second review notification March 11th, 2017 Final STAR submission STAR Chairs chairs-eg2017stars(a)eg.org <mailto:chairs-eg2017@eg.org> Matthias Zwicker, University of Bern, Switzerland Victor Ostromoukhov, University of Lyon, France

Open PhD Position in Strasbourg (France)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Open PhD Position in Strasbourg (France) The IGG group, ICube Lab (UMR 7357, University of Strasbourg / CNRS) seeks an excellent student for a 3-years funded PhD position in the field of Computer Graphics starting September 2016. Candidates are invited to contact us as soon as possible via the two following e-mail addresses: <mailto:dischler@unistra.fr> dischler(a)unistra.fr and <mailto:allegre@unistra.fr> allegre(a)unistra.fr. Candidates must send us the following elements: a detailed CV, marks obtained during Bachelor and Master degree, or Engineering School degree, and a one-page motivation letter. The application deadline is July 8th, 2016. Please feel free to relay the information. Title : Extraction and analysis of geometric and photometric properties for the classification of materials of 3d objects digitized under uncontrolled lighting conditions Host team : IGG (Computer Graphics and Geometry groupe) at ICube Lab Advisor : Jean-Michel Dischler, Professor in Computer Science - <mailto:dischler@unistra.fr> dischler(a)unistra.fr Co-advisor : Rémi Allègre, Associate Professor in Computer Science - <mailto:allegre@unistra.fr> allegre(a)unistra.fr Prerequisites : Computer graphics and geometric modeling Abstract : The media content production industry is in increasing demand of tools for creating complex geometric models with realistic appearances more rapidly and more efficiently. While current 3d digitization technologies for real objects considerably simplify the process of creating 3d models, especially for geometry, there is a lot of room for improvement in the field of appearance processing and representation. In this context, it is highly desirable that photometric acquisitions be performed in an uncontrolled lighting environment, and that the appearance of the models be represented by texture layers that fit the requirements of commercially available rendering engines. Existing techniques however only reconstruct approximate reflectance and sophisticated reflectance models do not easily comply with texture layers representations. The goal of this thesis is to devise a new processing pipeline in two stages. The first stage will consist in accurately extracting the geometric and photometric properties of a 3d object digitized under uncontrolled lighting conditions (geometry, normals, diffuse color, specularity, occlusion), as well as storing them in texture maps. The second stage will consist in analyzing these properties in order to provide a classification of the materials as close as possible to the reality over the whole surface of a digitized object. This classification will be used as input for texture synthesis algorithms developed in the IGG group. A detailed version of the proposal including bibliography is available at the following address: <https://dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr/~allegre/SUJETS/THESE/SujetTheseIGG2016-JMD-R A_EN.pdf> https://dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr/~allegre/SUJETS/THESE/SujetTheseIGG2016-JMD-RA _EN.pdf
