[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)

Starting Researcher, Postdoc, Ph.D. and Engineer Openings at Inria/GRAPHDECO, (Sophia-Antipolis, France)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Starting Researcher, Postdoc, Ph.D. and Engineer Openings at Inria/GRAPHDECO, (Sophia-Antipolis, France) FUNGRAPH is an ERC Advanced Grant in the GRAPHDECO research group ( <http://team.inria.fr/graphdeco> http://team.inria.fr/graphdeco) at Inria Sophia-Antipolis (South of France), starting fall 2018. The high level goal of the project is to build new foundations for rendering in Computer Graphics, by taking into account uncertainty in rendering algorithms and in the data (geometry, materials, lights) we use to render Computer Graphics. A high-level description of the FUNGRAPH projet can be found here: <http://fungraph.inria.fr> http://fungraph.inria.fr and a description of possible research topics can be found here: <http://fungraph.inria.fr/fungraph-jobs.html> http://fungraph.inria.fr/fungraph-jobs.html These topics should be considered as the "perimeter" of the research, and will be adapted to the candidate's interests and qualifications. We are looking to hire 1-2 Starting Researchers, 2-3 postdoctoral fellows, 1-2 PhD students (but probably a little later) and 1-2 engineers. It is possible that a Ph.D. student works on one of the topics listed as "PostDoc" below, and vice versa. Starting Researchers and -- depending on their experience -- postdoctoral fellows are expected to define their own research agenda within this "perimeter" (to be interpreted very widely). This list of topics will evolve constantly throughout the project, so please visit the topics page regularly. Context Several of these topics will involve work with our network of regular collaborators: at institutions such as MIT, Berkeley and UCL, and can include visits to the respective laboratories. We plan to expand this set of collaborators during FUNGRAPH. Successful candidates will be members of a dynamic and highly motivated group of excellent young researchers, the GRAPHDECO Inria group ( <https://team.inria.fr/graphdeco/team-members/> https://team.inria.fr/graphdeco/team-members/), and will have the opportunity to collaborate and interact with my colleague Adrien Bousseau (who has a Starting ERC Grant called D^3) and the other Ph.D. students, postdocs and engineers of the group. Required Qualifications For Starting Researcher and Postdoctoral positions, candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in Computer Graphics or in Computer Vision with an emphasis on Graphics applications, and an excellent publication record. Ph.D. candidates are expected to have a Masters in Computer Graphics, with a solid mathematical and programming (C++/OpenGL/GLSL/Vulkan) background and have completed a thesis with a research component (ideally submitted or published). Fluency in spoken and written English is a requirement. How to apply If you are interested in any of these positions/topics, please email directly (George dot Drettakis at inria.fr) with your CV and short motivation, and the email addresses of 2-3 references. If you are applying for a Ph.D. please also attach your academic transcript for the last 3 years (an unofficial list of courses and grades is sufficient). G. Drettakis will be at SIGGRAPH in Vancouver, and will be interviewing candidates there.
