We are interested in practice, experience, novel applications, technological, system or theoretical papers, with the ambition of setting the standard in the field and stimulating future trends. Accepted full papers will be presented at EUROGRAPHICS’2021 and published in a special issue of the Eurographics journal Computer Graphics Forum <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14678659> ; the submissions will undergo a two-step review process. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, including but not limited to rendering, modeling, animation, simulation, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, display technology, image processing, computational imaging, computational fabrication, human-computer interaction, and related disciplines. Gold Open Access publishing will be offered to all Eurographics Full Papers at attractive conditions of 340 EUR per publication, with special discount to Eurographics members for only 260 EUR. Timeline September 28, 2020 Preliminary abstract due (required for any further submission) October 5, 2020 Full paper due November 23, 2020 Reviews available November 23 to 29, 2020 Rebuttal period December 14, 2020 Notification to Authors January 22, 2021 Revised version due February 8, 2021 Final notification February 22, 2021 Camera-ready version due April 12, 2021 Fast-Forward video deadline May 3-7, 2021 Conference in Vienna * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC Submission dates A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 UTC, September 28, 2020, and the full paper deadline is 23:59 UTC, October 5, 2020. Note that a full paper can only be submitted if an abstract has been submitted by the abstract deadline. Submission details Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) <http://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021> system. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. The publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2 <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021/Instruction> . Accepted papers must be presented orally in English at Eurographics’2021. Review of full papers is based on a double-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all personal data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation. There is no maximum length imposed on papers. However, papers should only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers might rank submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily long lower than they would score concisely written papers. Authors of accepted papers will present a super short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds (exact length to be decided) and shall be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors. Plagiarism A submission to the Eurographics Full Papers program should describe an original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content originating from others without properly crediting their original sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection. Prior Art Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden — a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them (see “Plagiarism” above). Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications. Double Submission Policy By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Full Papers program, authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection. Re-submitted material For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as an ‘Additional Attachment’ (see last section of the SRM upload form for details). Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative Authors who are willing to go one step further toward replicability of their contributed algorithm and provide a complete open-source implementation can get an additional recognition via submission to the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (see http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/). All articles published in the Computer Graphics Forum are eligible to apply for the stamp. Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes * The reviews will be made available to the authors on November 23, 2020. During a rebuttal period from November 23 to November 29, 2020, authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews. * The date for notification of the results of the first round of the review process is December 14, 2020. * Revised versions of papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by January 22, 2021. * The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 8, 2021. * The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February 22, 2021. * From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle Award, including a cash prize of €1,000, presented at Eurographics’2021.

Jobs: 15 PhD position in MSCA-ITN-ETN CLIPE

by Eurographics Mailing List

We are pleased to announce 15 PhD research positions within the MSCA-ITN-ETN CLIPE (Creating Lively Interactive Populated Environments) CLIPE ( http://clipe-itn.eu/ ) is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the framework of Horizon 2020, starting on March 1st, 2020 with a four-year duration. The network consists of 9 universities/research centers and 5 industrial partners. The primary objective of CLIPE is to train a generation of innovators and researchers in the field of virtual characters simulation and animation. Advances in technology are pushing towards making VR/AR worlds a daily experience. Whilst virtual characters are an important component of these worlds, bringing them to life and giving them interaction and communication abilities requires highly specialized programming combined with artistic skills, and considerable investments: millions spent on countless coders and designers to develop video-games is a typical example. The research objective of CLIPE is to design the next-generation of VR-ready characters. CLIPE is addressing the most important current aspects of the problem, making the characters capable of: * behaving more naturally; * interacting with real users sharing a virtual experience with them; * being more intuitively and extensively controllable for virtual worlds designers. To meet our objectives, the CLIPE consortium gathers some of the main European actors in the field of VR/AR, computer graphics, computer animation, psychology and perception. CLIPE also extends its partnership to key industrial actors of populated virtual worlds, giving students the ability to explore new application fields and start collaborations beyond academia. Starting date is by September 2020. For more information about the project can be found in the attached file, and in the project web site: <http://clipe-itn.eu/> http://clipe-itn.eu/

EG VCBM 2020 �C Call for Papers http://www.vcbm.org/ Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2020 (co-located with DAGM GCPR 2020 & VMV 2020) Given the current COVID-19 situation, we decided to turn to a virtual format. * Workshop Dates: September 28 - October 1, 2020 * Submission Deadline: July 17, 2020 **new** Aims and Scope EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare and the biotechnology sector. This year��s workshop (already the 10th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held from September 28 to October 1, 2020. EG VCBM 2020 will be held together with VMV (the International Symposium on Vision, Modeling, and Visualization), and DAGM GCPR (the German Conference on Pattern Recognition). EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Suggested topics for full and short papers include, but are not limited to: �� Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology, surgery, pathology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education �� Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical research in systems biology, *omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc. �� Operation room of the future, including the uses of virtual reality and augmented reality in medical applications. �� Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging modalities including real-time imaging (e.g., ultrasound) �� Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological human. Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new approaches in computational medicine. �� Visual analytics solutions for data coming from epidemiological studies, like population studies. In addition to that, we solicit: �� Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine Information for Authors In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers track and a survey track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2020 papers (full, short and surveys) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. * Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long or might recommend it for a short paper, instead. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos or executable programs to provide extra content. * Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). * Surveys: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the surveys track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra content. VCBM 2020 will also feature a poster and an image contest program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. Submission Instructions Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2020 More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2020 website: <http://www.vcbm.org/> http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates * Paper submission deadline (full, short and survey papers): July 17, 2020 **new** * Author notification: August 14, 2020 **new** * Camera-ready deadline: August 28, 2020 * Workshop: September 28 - October 1, 2020 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1).

EG Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2020: Short Paper Deadline Extension Until July 10

by Eurographics Mailing List

========================================================= 13th EG Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2020 (3DOR'20) ========================================================= in Cooperation with Eurographics and Elsevier September 4-5, 2020 Graz University of Technology, Austria https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020 ========================================================= Call for Short Papers --------------------------------------------------------- Deadline extension until July 10 for Short Papers --------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: Short Paper Submissions for EG Digital Library (8 pages) -------------------------------------------------------------- July 10: Short paper submission (extended) July 30: Short paper notification Short papers will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. For information how to submit, please see https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020/submission.php 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series ----------------------------------- From the very beginning, the aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers to present state-of-the-art work, learn about or discuss topics in the field 3D object retrieval, search and exploration in a multi-disciplinary context of expertise such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. 3DOR provides a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2020 will be the 13th workshop in this series. Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. 3D digital content is today pervasive: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modelling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Time-dependant acquisition, animation and simulation give rise to 3D objects as a function of time, yielding 4D objects. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D/4D object repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search and navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing attention from the research community, which is becoming more and more varied in terms of disciplines needed to solve various facets of the challenges. The 3DOR Workshop series has been characterized since the beginning by a specific attention to benchmarking with the organization of the session on the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC). The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval methods and algorithms. SHREC 2020 is the 15th edition of the contest. As in previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval. Call for Papers --------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D/4D Object Retrieval. State of the art papers on specific topics of interest are particularly welcome. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers, which will be peer-reviewed by a two-stage review process, and published as a special section of Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Also, short papers are invited, which will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 3D/4D shape analysis 3D/4D shape similarity and matching 3D/4D mesh sequence retrieval 3D/4D mobile media retrieval 3D/4D search in large scale data 3D/4D object classification, indexing, and mining Similarity of non-rigid shapes Shape correspondence 3D/4D shape decomposition, and segmentation Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching Matching under uncertainty and noise Semantics-driven 3D/4D object retrieval and classification Sketch-based retrieval Query interfaces and search modalities Benchmarking issues Deep learning for 3D/4D shape retrieval Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment Applications in all areas relevant to 3D/4D objects, including multimedia and information systems, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage, among others.
