EuroVis 2017 Short Paper Track (Extended Deadline)

by eurographics＠eg.org

-------------------------------------- EuroVis 2017 Short Paper Track Call for Papers ** Extended Deadline ** Feb 27th 2017 -------------------------------------- For the sixth time, EuroVis 2017 features a short paper track to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process by an international program committee. Short papers will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. All accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference. Submission Information ---------------------- Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book. A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller - yet still significant - scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers: A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation). An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation. An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system. A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand its limitations. A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation). A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology). For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/. Note that the style for the final camera-ready version is included in that for full papers and can be found under Author Guidelines at http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/index.php/for-submitters/authors-guidelines. For any questions concerning short paper submissions please contact the co-chairs: ev2017-short(a)cs.upc.edu Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline: 23:59GMT, Feb 27th 2017 Notification: March 27th, 2017 Camera Ready deadline: April 24th, 2017 Please see http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/ for further details.

Deadline extension: EG WICED 2017

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017). http://wiced.inria.fr/ NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: February 24. 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/ 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 24, 2017. Notification to authors: March 10, 2017. Camera-ready deadline: March 24, 2017.
