[ACM SIGGRAPH Sunday Workshop] Promotion

by eurographics＠eg.org

<https://www.siggraph.org/discover/news/acm-siggraph-sunday-workshop-compute r-graphics-autonomous-driving-applications> ACM SIGGRAPH Workshop on Computer Graphics for Autonomous Driving Applications Sunday 12th August, 2018 Vancouver Convention Center, Vancouver (Canada) <https://s2018.siggraph.org/conference/acm-siggraph-sunday-workshops/sunday- workshop-computer-graphics-autonomous-driving-applications/> https://s2018.siggraph.org/conference/acm-siggraph-sunday-workshops/sunday-w orkshop-computer-graphics-autonomous-driving-applications/ Full-day <https://s2018.siggraph.org/conference/acm-siggraph-sunday-workshops/sunday- workshop-computer-graphics-autonomous-driving-applications/> co-located event with ACM SIGGRAPH ending just before the SIGGRAPH Papers Fast Forward. We will have excellent <https://s2018.siggraph.org/conference/acm-siggraph-sunday-workshops/sunday- workshop-computer-graphics-autonomous-driving-applications/> speakers from industry and academia. Computer Graphics has emerged as a key field supporting both performance assessment and training of AI drivers. Latest advances in CG suggest that it is feasible to design the corner cases both for training and testing. Simulation allows us to drive millions of miles to assess the performance of AI drivers, as well as generate millions of episodes for training the models behind AI drivers. This simulation-based approach requires advances in procedural generation of realistic traffic infrastructure, realistic behavior of traffic participants (human drivers, cyclists, pedestrians), augmented and mixed reality for on-board videos, simulation of sensors (cameras, LIDAR, RADAR, etc.) and multi-sensor suites, automatic generation of accurate and diverse ground truth, and beyond real-time simulations on multi-AI agents. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners of both autonomous driving and computer graphics fields to discuss the open challenges that must be addressed in order to accelerate the deployment of safe and reliable autonomous vehicles. Speakers with experience on the use of simulation and computer graphics for autonomous driving will be invited to share their work and insights regarding upcoming research challenges. Applications will be accepted on first come/first served basis until July 27th. Otherwise, registrations should be available until achieving the maximum capacity of the conference room. This event is organized in collaboration with ACM SIGGRAPH. Please, let us know about your interest or if you have any difficulties through the registration process. The Organizers (Antonio M. Lopez & Jose A. Iglesias-Guitian)

The aims of this federated event are: to bring two slightly different communities together in the same venue (one oriented to research in visual technology, the other focusing on the application of those technologies to CH); to share experiences and discuss methodologies concerning digital visual media and their use in the context of cultural heritage applications; and to enable an increased cross-fertilization among those communities and foster collaboration. GCH 2018 aims to establish an international dialogue between ICT experts and CH scientists to advance the understanding of critical requirements for processing, managing, and delivering cultural heritage information to a broad audience. The objective of the workshop is to introduce and showcase new techniques and applications for supporting Cultural Heritage information ranging from data acquisition, analysis and synthesis, 3D documentation, and data management, to new forms of interactive presentation and 3D printing solutions. Interdisciplinary approaches for analysis, classification and interpretation of cultural artefacts are particularly relevant to the event. GCH 2018 as part of Visual Heritage 2018 provides a scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and techniques in research, education and dissemination of Cultural Heritage information, to transfer them into practice, and identify future research and application opportunities. Topics We seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in the visual computing area applied to digital cultural heritage, challenging the state-of-the-art solutions, presenting experiences and projects in this domain and leveraging new ideas for future developments. Equally, original contributions in the cultural heritage field of relevance to visual computing are welcome. Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas: * 2/3/4D data acquisition and processing in Cultural Heritage * Multispectral imaging and data fusion * Digital acquisition, representation and communication of intangible heritage * Material acquisition analysis * Heterogeneous data collection, integration and management * 3D printing of cultural assets * Shape analysis and interpretation * Similarity search of digital artefacts * Visualization and Virtual Museums including storytelling and design of heritage communications * Multi-modal and interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Semantic-aware representation of digital artefacts (metadata, classification schemes, annotation) * Digital libraries, archiving and long-term preservation of 3D documents * Standards and documentation * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Organizational aspects of cooperation between ICT and CH experts for project development * Best practices for deployment of novel ICT solution in the CH domain, including budgeting and maintenance * User demand and reception of ICT solutions in CH institutions In cooperation with CHNT, GCH is also planning for a half-day tutorial program, addressing practices and challenges in the important areas of acquisition and presentation of CH content. Paper Categories We accept four categories of papers: full papers, short papers, project papers, tutorials. Note that full papers and other paper categories have different deadlines as indicated above. Full papers showcase original research in visual heritage. Short papers showcase recent results, work in progress, and new ideas. Project papers offer an opportunity to present results of projects in the visual heritage field. Participants to the project presentation sessions will have a unique opportunity for the dissemination of their project developments and products to a broad multi-disciplinary, multi-national and multi-organisational community, which satisfies the core demand of dissemination and valorisation of every funded project.The paper should describe the research and development activities. Tutorials instruct participants about the background of visual heritage technologies. Tutorial proposals should include the topics to be covered in the presentation session. Presentation time will be longer than regular papers, please contact us for individual requirements. Page limits are 10 pages for full papers, and 4 pages for all other categories. Submission GCH 2018 uses the Submission and Review Management (SRM) system of EUROGRAPHICS. Online submission is now open on the SRM site, which also provides detailed information about the submission process: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018 Please use the EUROGRAPHICS LaTeX Package ( <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018/GetConferenceFile?fileID=863 5> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018/GetConferenceFile?fileID=8635 ) to prepare your submission according to the EUROGRAPHICS style guide. Submissions can be accompanied by electronic supplementary material (e.g., images, video, demo). Submitted content must be original work; papers or summaries of papers that have already been published or submitted elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as paper submission to GCH 2018 and will be rejected without review. Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by members of the Program Committee and selected external reviewers. GCH 2018 uses a double-blind peer-review process to evaluate the submissions, so submission need to be properly anonymized. However, the complete information about all co-authors needs to be entered into SRM. All accepted papers will be published by the Eurographics Association and archived in the EG Digital Library.

ACM/SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG) Call for Papers: Deadline Extension

by eurographics＠eg.org

Updated CFP: The deadline for the ACM/SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction, and Games (MIG 2018) has been extended by a week. The new submission deadline is July 16 (23:59 AoE timezone). The 11th annual ACM/SIGGRAPH conference on Motion, Interaction and Games (MIG 2018, formerly Motion in Games) will take place in Limassol, Cyprus from November 8-10, 2018. MIG is sponsored by ACM and held in cooperation with Eurographics. This year's MIG will feature a half day Machine Learning workshop led by <http://theorangeduck.com/> Daniel Holden (Ubisoft), and <https://sites.google.com/site/jungdampersonal/> Jungdam Won (Seoul National University)! Both researchers have used ML to make great contributions to the field of character animation. This workshop is designed to show attendees how they can start to use ML in their own research. More info about the workshop is available here: <http://cyprusconferences.org/mig2018/call-of-papers/workshops/> http://cyprusconferences.org/mig2018/workshops/ . Motion plays a crucial role in interactive applications, such as VR, AR, and video games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Technological advances in VR and AR have also enabled new ways for users to interact with digital environments. Motion, Interaction, and Games (MIG) is focused on the intersection between these three complimentary research areas. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Likewise, the challenges of interaction drive research in wide ranging fields from mechanical engineering, to interface design, to perception. Games provide a unique application domain for investigating the intersection of the many facets of motion, interaction, and other areas of graphics. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of-the-art in the area. The goal of the Motion, Interaction, and Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the advancement of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions as well as presentations by a selection of internationally renowned speakers in all areas related to interactive systems and animation. The conference includes entertaining cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants. _____ Important Dates Papers Paper submission: July 16th, 2018 (deadline extended!)

Each submission should be 7-10 pages in length for the long papers or 4-6 pages for the short papers, and will be reviewed by an international program committee for technical quality, novelty, significance, and clarity. All of the accepted regular papers will be archived in the EG and ACM digital libraries. All submissions will be considered for Best Paper Awards. Best Paper, Best Student Paper, and Best Presentation awards will be conferred during the conference. The top 10% papers will be selected for a special issue in the <https://www.journals.elsevier.com/computers-and-graphics/> Computer&Graphics journal (5 year impact factor: 1.089) Accepted papers will be presented at the conference during oral sessions. Best Paper and Best Student Paper awards will be conferred during the conference. We also invite poster submissions for work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community(this work and the venue in which it as published should be identified in the abstract), or work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a short or long paper. Posters will not appear in the official MIG proceedings or in the ACM Digital library but will appear in an online database for distribution at author's discretion. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference during oral sessions, or as posters during a poster session. Posters will be reviewed single-blind, so author information may be included. _____ Submission Papers should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (sigconf). To submit, please follow these <http://cyprusconferences.org/mig2018/call-of-papers/submission/> instructions before submitting to the <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig18> easychair submission system.
