Computer Graphics and Visual Computing (CGVC) 2019

by eurographics＠eg.org

====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2019 (CGVC2019) The 37th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 12-13 September 2019, Bangor University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2019/ ====================================================== The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing (including, Computer Graphics and Vision, Information and Scientific Visualization, and Visual Analytics). It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2019 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions in the form of full papers, short papers, viewpoint papers and extended abstracts (posters). Optional single-blind or double-blind - reviewers’ identities are not revealed. Authors may choose whether to anonymize their submission or not. • Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research, plus an additional page of references. Papers are refereed by members of an international program committee (IPC). Authors of accepted papers are expected to give a 15-20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will serve as full paper publications. • Short papers - The purpose of short papers is 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 process by an international program committee (IPC). They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. Accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. • Viewpoint Papers (aka. Position paper) - Viewpoint paper track enables researchers a new possibility to publish their ideas. Viewpoints articles offer detailed technical opinions on trends in visual computing or reports on how visual computing has contributed to the comprehension of data or phenomena, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. We encourage discussions of challenges or limitations in today's methods and areas of potential new topics of research. We are also interested in application discussions that focus on, for example, the areas of physical, life or social sciences, engineering, or commerce, or areas related to the process of visual computing in general. We encourage an emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience for application discussions, particularly where visual computing has been employed in a real, working environment. Viewpoint papers are submitted with author names and affiliations (at most 4-pages). Accepted viewpoint papers will be electronically archived, are fully citable publications and will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. • Extended Abstracts (Poster Papers) - The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. In particular, it provides young researchers, especially postgraduate students, with valuable opportunities to receive feedback from other researchers, and engage in stimulating discussions. The poster track will be managed by the co-chair team and the International Program Committee (IPC). We solicit poster submissions in the form of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages (with an additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process. Accepted posters, size A1 recommended, will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. In addition to directly submitted posters, some submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks, that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable, will be offered an opportunity to be presented as posters. Such submissions will not require an additional review process. Accepted abstracts (poster papers) do not appear in the Eurographics digital library, and will not be considered as a paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one-page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated full paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract or a poster at the conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. Topics include, but are not limited to: ====================================================== Computer Graphics Visualization Computer Vision Virtual Reality Visual Analytics Visual Data Science Computer Animation Computer-based Arts and Entertainment Image processing Acquisition and Reconstruction Techniques Graphics Architectures and Acceleration Hardware Medical Imaging Multimedia Visualisation Computer Games Rendering Techniques Scientific Visualisation and Big Data Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Geospatial Visualisation Augmented Reality and Collaborative Environments Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices Human Computer Interaction, Robotics, and Haptics Modelling Methods ====================================================== Important Dates: Submission deadline: 7 Jun (Fri) 2019 Notification of Acceptance: 12 Jul (Tue) 2019 Camera Ready: 2 Aug (Fri) 2019 Conference: 12-13 September 2019 (Thu-Fri) ====================================================== Publication type | Page limit | Accepted publication Full Paper | 4-8 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Short Paper | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Viewpoint Paper (i.e. Position Paper) | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Extended Abstract (i.e. Poster Paper) | 1-2 pages, + 1-page refs only | not considered as a paper publication ====================================================== Programme Chairs Jonathan C.

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019 (3DOR'19): Second call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

*********************************************************** Second call for Papers Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019 (3DOR'19) *********************************************************** A co-event of Eurographics 2019 May 5-6, 2019, Genova, Italy http://3dor2019.ge.imati.cnr.it/call-for-papers/ Important Dates Full/Short Paper Submission: February 4, 2019 Acceptance Notification: March 4, 2019 Camera Ready: April 5, 2019 Workshop dates: May 5-6, 2019 *********************************************************** 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a new wave of information is underway: 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. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D 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. The aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers from different fields such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction who work on or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2019 will be the 12th workshop in this series. *********************************************************** Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). State of the arts papers on specific topics of interest in the workshop are also welcome and may exceed the 8 pages limit. All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library. Extended and revised versions of selected full papers will be considered for publication in a special section of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier), based on the reviewers' comments and on the feedback from the 3DOR workshop. The deadline for this special issue will be 6 weeks after the workshop (end of June 2019) and reviewer continuity will be aimed for. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 3D shape analysis 3D shape similarity and matching 3D mesh sequence retrieval 3D mobile media retrieval 3D search in large scale data 3D object classification, indexing, and mining Similarity of non-rigid shapes Shape correspondence 3D shape decomposition, and segmentation Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching Matching under uncertainty and noise Semantics-driven 3D object retrieval and classification Sketch-based retrieval Query interfaces and search modalities Benchmarking issues Deep learning for 3D shape retrieval Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. Also this year, the workshop will feature the 14th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC 2019). A separate call for participation will be issued shortly. *********************************************************** Submission: The submission should be formatted according to the Eurographics guidelines. Submissions should be done through the SRM website (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/3DOR_2019). The 3DOR 2019 conference will use a double-blind review process. Consequently, all submissions must be anonymous. *********************************************************** Organization Workshop Chairs: Bianca Falcidieno, IMATI - CNR Genoa, Italy Ioannis Pratikakis, Democritus University of Thrace, Greece Program Chairs: Silvia Biasotti, IMATI - CNR Genoa, Italy Guillaume Lavoué, Université de Lyon, LIRIS, France

Dear all, call for Student Volunteers is now open and available at the following website: https://www.eurographics2019.it/index.php/organization/student_volunteers/ For MSc students, PhD students and young research fellows: being a SV is a great way to attend EG, get in touch with the graphics community, and meet new people. For senior researchers: please share the link of the call with the young members of your group. This will help us spread the voice and reach as many students as possible. The submission deadline is March 5, 2019 Make sure you don't miss it! -- Marco Livesu, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche (CNR) Istituto di Matematica Applicata e Tecnologie Informatiche (IMATI) Via de Marini, 6 16149 Genova, Italia mail: marco.livesu(a)gmail.com <mailto:cino@unica.it> skype: cino.83 homepage: http://pers.ge.imati.cnr.it/livesu/
