Expressive 2017 ? Call for Submissions

by eurographics＠eg.org

Expressive 2017: The Joint Symposium on Computational Aesthetics (CAe), Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) and Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) A single registration for Expressive 2017 includes all three tracks (CAe, NPAR and SBIM) Dates: July 29--30, 2017 Location: Los Angeles, California (co-located with Siggraph 2017) URL: <https://expressivesymposium.com/> https://expressivesymposium.com Expressive fuses three symposia centered on expressive aspects of computer graphics. Computational Aesthetics (CAe) integrates the bridging aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. CAe investigates both tools to enhance the expressiveness of fine and applied arts, as well as theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) investigates computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) focuses on the exploration of models, algorithms, and technologies for efficient sketch-based interfaces. It investigates the classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics or 3D shapes. Each paper submission should be designated by the authors as belonging to at least one of the three tracks. Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories: ● Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic 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). We are equally interested in papers on the use of existing techniques combined in novel ways, or applying them in a new or unusual context. ● 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. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines. Topics include, but are not limited to: ● Analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) ● Simulation of natural media, traditional styles, and novel artistic styles ● Analysis of image style and saliency (paintings, photographs, others) ● Visualization techniques ● Simplification and abstraction techniques (e.g. sketching, indication) ● Empirically-based metrics of aesthetic attributes ● Applied visual perception ● Interaction techniques (e.g. sketch, gestural, multi-touch, multi-modal) ● Sketch-parsing, classification and recognition ● Novel interfaces for art creation, modeling, control, sketch input, etc. ● Study designs and methodologies for evaluating and validating sketch-based systems, aesthetic metrics, visual communication systems, etc. ● Advanced rendering techniques (e.g. volumetric, GPU, mobile, multi-modal) ● Applications in special domains: Medicine, Geology, Biology, Sociology, etc. ● Sketch-based information retrieval ● Stylistic or aesthetic aspects of character animation and simulated physics ● Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films, digital art) or applications in software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) ● Visual composition ● Design, rendering, and evaluation of layouts for text and presentation graphics ● Style transfer ● Temporal and spatial coherence ● Aesthetic evaluation and stylistic rendering of visual effects such as motion blur, depth of field, and lighting ● Non-traditional camera models Paper Submissions All work must be previously unpublished. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results, but must make a substantive contribution to the knowledge in the field. Papers should be 8--10 pages in length (excluding citations).

Extended deadline (Feb 28): Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017). <http://wiced.inria.fr/> http://wiced.inria.fr/ NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: February 28. NEW TRACK for INVITED TALKS: Send one page abstract. 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 interactive games and virtual worlds. 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. The workshop series 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 its communicative goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality movie making. This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial experts working in all 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. Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing, as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues. The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum, which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière - inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema. ========== Submission ========== Researchers should submit one of: Regular paper (max 8 pages) reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. Short paper (max 4 pages) describing work in progress or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. NEW:Invited paper (1 page abstract) reporting relevant work already published in other venues. Submission information will be updated on the workshop site <http://wiced.inria.fr/> http://wiced.inria.fr/ Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing in the EG Digital Library. ================= Topics of interest ================= Camera path planning and visibility Interactive and automatic camera control Automatic video editing Movie pre-vizualization Game cinematics, cinematic replays, and machinima Virtual reality and augmented reality movie making Immersive and interactive cinema Natural user interfaces for cinematography and editing Expressive performance of virtual characters Cognitive models of film perception Automatic video analysis of movies Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing Computer-assisted multi-camera production Evaluation methodologies and user experience Analysis of film style =============== Important Dates =============== Paper submission (EXTENDED DEADLINE): February 28, 2017. Notification to authors: March 17, 2017. Camera-ready deadline: March 24, 2017. Workshop held: April 24, 2017. ==================== Organizing committee ==================== The international workshop series is supervised by a steering committee composed of Magy Seif El-Nasr (Northeastern University), R.

The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for: - large-data - HPC and cloud environments - (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures - shared and/or distributed memory architectures - out-of-core The symposium topics include: - computationally and data intensive rendering - scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow, and tensor visualization) - information visualization and visual analytics - in-situ analytics and in-situ visualization - simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision detection, acoustics) - mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods - visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and exploitation, segmentation) - scheduling, memory management, and data coherence - distributed, parallel, or multi-threaded approaches - mapReduce-based and database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, query based visualization - advanced hardware for data handling or visualization - large and high resolution displays, virtual environments - scientific, engineering, and industrial applications Submission types ======================== You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Two types of submissions are accepted, as follows. Full papers ======================== Full papers are expected to be eight to ten (8-10) pages in length, with the final length appropriate to the contribution of the paper. Submissions are to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines. We expect that full paper submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system. Short papers ============================ This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages in length. As such, they typically address novel ideas or work in progress which has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel graphics and visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools and systems, industry success stories, and showcases of applications making use of parallel graphics and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens the visualization showcase track that was present in earlier editions of EGPGV. Short papers and their supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system. Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium proceedings and be published via the Eurographics Digital Library. Submission process ================= Papers are accepted when submitted via the PCS system (precisionconference.com). Additional details with respect to the submission process will be announced shortly on egpgv.org/egpgv2017 Reviewing process ================= Both paper types (full and short) will be reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee (IPC), in a single review pass. Full papers deemed insufficient in terms of the contribution level expected for a full paper, but presenting otherwise interesting, novel, and valuable results, can be selected by the IPC to be accepted as short papers. The review process is not double blind; we leave it to the latitude of the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions. Important Dates ================= Papers Submission: March 6, 2017 Author Notification: April 20, 2017 Camera-Ready Submission: April 27, 2017 Symposium: June 12-13, 2017 Symposium Chair ================= Fernando Cucchietti, Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Spain Program Chairs =============== Alexandru Telea, University of Groningen, the Netherlands Janine Bennett, Sandia National Laboratories, USA

Call for Papers - Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2017

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers - Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2017 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing 2017 (SGP 2017) will be held at University College London, UK on 3-5 July, 2017. A graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on 1-2 July. SGP is the premier venue for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are studied and applied to offer new insights and to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections. We are happy to announce Daniel Cohen-Or (Tel Aviv Univ.), Gabriel Peyré (CNRS), Ryan Schmidt (Univ. of Toronto, gradientspace), and Christian Theobald (MPI Informatics) as invited speakers. The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular electronic issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Conference website: http://geometryprocessing.org SGP 2017 poster: http://geometry.cs.ucl.ac.uk/SGP2017/Poster.pdf Timeline Abstract submissions: April 5, 2017 Full paper submissions: April 10, 2017 Notification of acceptance: May 21, 2017 Revised version due: June 11, 2017 Camera ready copy due: June 23, 2017 Paper submission via the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system: https://srmv2.eg.org All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC/GMT. Awards and Recognitions Following its traditions, SGP 2017 will attribute three best paper awards, a software award recognising the authors of an open-source software that has greatly influenced the field, and a data set award designed to acknowledge the suppliers of high quality datasets used in geometry processing. In addition, SGP provides papers with the reproducibility stamp to recognise the effort of researchers who, in addition to publishing their paper at SGP 2017, provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm.
