by eurographics＠eg.org

*********************************************************** First call for Papers Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2019 (3DOR19) *********************************************************** 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 2017 will be the 10th 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*********************************************************** Call for Papers Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.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 (SHREC2019). 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

EUROGRAPHICS 2019 full papers - the abstract deadline is quickly approaching!

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Full Papers The EUROGRAPHICS 2019 Full Papers Program will showcase innovative research in Computer Graphics and related areas. We invite submissions of new ideas, and encourage all forms of research creativity and originality. 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 2019 and published in a special issue of the Eurographics journal <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14678659> Computer Graphics Forum; 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. Timeline October 2, 2018 Preliminary abstract due (required for any further submission) October 9, 2018 Full paper due November 26, 2018 Reviews available November 26 to December 3, 2018 Rebuttal period December 19, 2018 Notification to Authors February 1st, 2019 Revised version due February 15, 2019 Final notification March 8, 2019 Camera-ready version due May 6-10, 2019 Conference in Genova * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC Submission dates A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 UTC, October 2, 2018, and the full paper deadline is 23:59 UTC, October 9, 2018. 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 <http://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2019> Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) 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 <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2019/Instruction> SRMv2. Accepted papers must be presented orally in English at Eurographics 2019. 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. Plagiarism and Prior Art 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, as well as other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection. Authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with non-peer reviewed (pre-publication) works (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them and are encouraged to mention all related works they are aware of. Authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite pre-publications listed by reviewers in their final revision as concurrent work, but are not required to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications. 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/> 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 26, 2018. During a rebuttal period from November 26 to December 3, 2018, 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 19, 2018. * Revised versions of papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by February 1st, 2019. * The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 15, 2019. * The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on March 8, 2019. * From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers. The first best paper will receive the Günter Enderle Award, including a cash prize of €1,000, presented at Eurographics 2019.
