IEEE CG&A Special Issue on Visual Computing with Deep Learning - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- IEEE CG&A Special Issue on Visual Computing with Deep Learning - Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- The great success of deep learning techniques in computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing has recently attracted much attention. While machine learning techniques have long been used to solve a wide range of graphics and visualization problems, most of them rely on problem-specific "feature engineering" to extract favorable features from the training data, which is often a manually-tweaked, time-consuming process and usually does not generalize well. Deep learning techniques, on the other hand, are capable of automatically discovering features appropriate for a specific task from raw data, which reduces the need for feature engineering and makes it easier to develop end-to-end solutions. The recent advances in Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and reinforcement learning methods show their potential for data generation and action planning. It is expected that the use of deep learning techniques can significantly advance the performance of many state-of-the-art graphics and visualization algorithms. Unlike computer vision applications, which mainly focus on visual content analysis and understanding, graphics and visualization tasks must often create visual content (e.g., synthesizing an image, generating an animation sequence, visualizing and interpreting spatial-temporal data) that exhibits the high quality to be used in entertainment or visualization applications. Furthermore, end-to-end deep learning techniques require a large amount of labelled data to work optimally. This raises an additional challenge because, unlike computer vision, which relies on natural images or video that can be conveniently collected on Internet, high-quality synthesized visual content with proper labeling is rare. Finally, different from many vision tasks where automation is the ultimate goal, creating visual content is often an interactive, progressive process. Therefore, user interaction must be integrated into the learning and run-time computation process. For this special issue, we are soliciting papers that describe algorithms, data structures, tools and systems that use deep learning or facilitate the use of deep learning for graphics and visualization tasks. More specifically, we are looking for contributions that demonstrate practical impact of deep learning on (but not limited to) the following topics: Visual analytics applications Object/scene reconstruction from RGB/RGBD images Shape analysis and synthesis Appearance capture and modeling Global illumination and real-time rendering Sound synthesis and rendering Physics-based simulation of fluids and deformable objects Performance-based face/body animation Computational photography Deep learning models and training schemes for visual content creation --------------- Important Date: --------------- Final submissions due: 1 July 2018 Publication date: March/April 2019 -------------- Guest Editors -------------- Kun Zhou, kunzhou(a)zju.edu.cn Xin Tong, Microsoft Research Asia, xtong(a)microsoft.com -------------- Submission Guidelines -------------- Non department articles submitted to IEEE CG&A should not exceed 8,000 words, including the main text, abstract, keywords, bibliography, biographies, and table text, where a page is approximately 800 words. Articles should include no more than 10 figures or images. Each 1/4 page figure, image, and table counts for approx. 200 words. Note that all tables, images, and illustrations must be appropriately scaled and legible; larger elements should be accounted for accordingly with respect to word count. Please limit the number of references to the most relevant and ensure to delineate your work from relevant past articles in CG&A. Furthermore, avoid an excessive number of references to published work that might only be marginally relevant. Consider instead providing such pertinent background material in sidebars for non-expert readers. Visit the CG&A style and length guidelines at www.computer.org/web/peer-review/magazines. We also strongly encourage you to submit multimedia (videos, podcasts, and so on) to enhance your article. Visit the CG&A supplemental guidelines at www.computer.org/web/peer-review/magazines. Please submit your paper using the online manuscript submission service at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee.

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=8635> 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. In addition, best papers will be selected and awarded at the conference; those will be invited in extended version for further review and publication in the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (ACM JOCCH).

2nd CFP: Computer Graphics and Visual Computing (CGVC) 2018

by eurographics＠eg.org

====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2018 (CGVC2018) The 36th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 13-14 September 2018, Swansea University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2018/ ====================================================== 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 2018 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 (poster papers). • 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 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 double-blind 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) 15 minute presentations. • Viewpoint Papers (aka. Position paper, ***new in CGVC2018***) - 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) 15 minute presentations. Submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable for poster presentation by the IPC will be offered an opportunity to present in the poster track. • Extended Abstracts (Poster Papers) - CGVC 2018 is re-introducing a poster track. 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) for the papers track. We solicit poster submissions in the form of a poster and an accompanying sketch (i.e., 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 double-blind process. Accepted posters will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. Accepted extended 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: 8 June 2018 (Fri) Notification of Acceptance: 13 July 2018 (Fri) Camera Ready: 03 August 2018 (Fri) Conference: 13-14 September 2018 (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 | not considered as a paper publication ====================================================== Conference Chair Robert S. Laramee (Swansea University) Programme Chairs Gary KL Tam (Swansea University) Franck Vidal (Bangor University) Contact: chairs-cgvc2018(a)eg.org <mailto:chairs-cgvc2018@eg.org> Local organisers Richard Roberts (Swansea University) Dylan Rees (Swansea University) Liam McNabb (Swansea University) ======================================================

GCH 2018: Call for Papers The 16th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage held in Vienna, Austria, November 12-15, 2018 is organized in cooperation with <http://www.chnt.at> CHNT (Cultural Heritage and New Technologies) as <http://2018.visualheritage.org> Visual Heritage 2018 http://2018.visualheritage.org/ Important Dates Submission deadline regular papers June 20, 2018 Review notification (regular papers) August 6, 2018 Submission deadline short / project papers August 13, 2018 Review notification (other submission types) September 10, 2018 Submission of camera ready (regular papers) September 10, 2018 Submission of camera ready (other papers) September 21, 2018 Registration deadline speaker September 21, 2018 General Information Since 2018 is a key year for the Cultural Heritage community, two established communities working on the domain of ICT & CH have decided to join forces and organize a federated event. 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. In addition, best papers will be selected and awarded at the conference; those will be invited in extended version for further review and publication in the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (ACM JOCCH).

Expressive 2018: Submission deadlines extended

by eurographics＠eg.org

-=[ Expressive 2018 ]=- !!! Submission deadlines extended !!! === Call for Papers We would like to invite you to submit your work to Expressive 2018. Being at the forefront of expressive rendering research since 2012, Expressive 2018 (http://expressive.graphics/2018) will take place in Victoria, Canada, August 17-19, 2018 - shortly after SIGGRAPH 2018 (http://s2018.siggraph.org/) in Vancouver. A single registration for Expressive 2018 will include all three workshops. Invited talks and artists talks will be shared among the workshops and sessions will be mixed. The submission, review, and publication process for the event will be handled jointly across the three conferences. Expressive is a joint Symposium featuring the following workshops: * Computational Aesthetics (CAe) * Non-photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) * Sketch-based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM) Each paper submission should be designated as belonging to one of the three tracks. === Important dates for technical papers: * Abstract submission deadline (EXTENDED): *** April 11, 2018 *** * Paper submission deadline (EXTENDED): *** April 17, 2018 *** * Acceptance notification: May 8, 2018 * Camera-ready submission: June 5, 2018 All deadlines are at 23:59:59 UTC/GMT. === Computational Aesthetics (CAe) Computational Aesthetics integrates the bridging aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. CAe investigates both tools to enhance the expressiveness of fine and applied arts, as well as theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. === Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering investigates computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. === Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling focuses on the exploration of models, algorithms, and technologies for efficient sketch-based interfaces. It investigates the classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics or 3D shapes. === Submission Types Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories: * Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic papers). These must contain novel results that make a substantive contribution to the field. * Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). We are equally interested in papers on the use of existing techniques combined in novel ways, or applying them in a new or unusual context. * Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines. Accepted papers will be published as a single conference proceedings by the ACM and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Papers will also be archived in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts to be considered for publication in a special section of Computers & Graphics journal (Elsevier) via a fast-track review process. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) * Simulation of natural media, traditional styles, and novel artistic styles * Analysis of image style and saliency (paintings, photographs, others) * Visualization techniques * Simplification and abstraction techniques (e.g. sketching, indication) * Empirically-based metrics of aesthetic attributes * Applied visual perception * Interaction techniques (e.g. sketch, gestural, multi-touch, multi-modal) * Sketch-parsing, classification and recognition * Novel interfaces for art creation, modeling, control, sketch input, etc. * Study designs and methodologies for evaluating and validating sketch-based systems, aesthetic metrics, visual communication systems, etc. * Advanced rendering techniques (e.g. volumetric, GPU, mobile, multi-modal) * Applications in special domains: Medicine, Geology, Biology, Sociology, etc. * Sketch-based information retrieval * Stylistic or aesthetic aspects of character animation and simulated physics * Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films, digital art) or applications in software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) * Visual composition * Design, rendering, and evaluation of layouts for text and presentation graphics * Example-based style transfer * Temporal and spatial coherence * Aesthetic evaluation and stylistic rendering of visual effects such as motion blur, depth of field, and lighting * Non-traditional camera models === Submission Information All work must be previously unpublished. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results, but must make a substantive contribution to the knowledge in the field. Papers should be 8-10 pages in length (excluding citations). Papers longer than 10 pages must make a very significant contribution. Paper submission is electronic using the EasyChair system. For detailed instructions to submit papers, posters, videos and other materials, please view the submission instructions. Please also consult the conference webpage for detailed submission instructions for general submissions and journal presentations, in addition to technical papers: http://expressive.graphics/2018/submissions/ Best Regards, Tunc Aydin, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland Daniel Sykora, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Li Ji, Organization Chair University of Victoria, Canada

EuroVis 2018 (4-8 June 2018, in Brno, Czech Republic) features a posters track. The posters track will present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions, application case studies, 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. Submission Instructions We solicit poster submissions in the form of a sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages in the EuroVis poster format, with an additional page allowed for references only).We strongly encourage the submission of additional materials. For example, you can submit an additional PDF (without any page limit) that contains a number of example results, screenshots, an interaction sequence, etc. The poster draft can also be added as additional material (but is not mandatory for the submission). Finally, submissions can also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs. In particular for interactive tools/approaches, a digital video is essential and thus strongly encouraged to allow the reviewers to assess the interactive aspects. Poster sketches are to be submitted using the Precision Conference System (PCS <http://new.precisionconference.com/> ). At least one author of an accepted poster must attend the conference to present the work, and authors will also be required to present a brief (less than one-minute) summary of their poster content at the opening preview session (also called fast-forward). Both a PDF version of the poster and the extended abstract will be included on the conference USB stick and also in the EG digital library with a DOI. The material in a poster/sketch can later be reused by the original authors for a more extensive publication (e.g., a full paper) with more detailed content and mature results, without being considered self-plagiarism. For detailed poster preparation and submission instructions please refer to the submission guidelines ( <http://eurovis2018.org/submitters-posters/> http://eurovis2018.org/submitters-posters/).

by eurographics＠eg.org

_________________________________________________________________________________ ACM SIGGRAPH / Eurographics Symposium on Computer Animation http://sca2018.inria.fr <http://sca2018.inria.fr/> _________________________________________________________________________________ Final Call for Papers The papers deadline is appraching fast! You can submit your papers by April 9, 2018 – 23:59 UTC. We also want to highlight again that all accepted submissions will be published at the CGF journal this year. As a consequence, there will be a strict 10-page limit for content (plus references). Authors will be notified of acceptance by May 18. Posters Program We also invite submissions to the poster and demo session, which has traditionally been an integral part of the SCA program. The poster session will follow a posters fast-forward session during which all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-to-two minute description of their work. Additionally, a best paper award will be given to the top poster! Posters will be included in the ACM and EG digital libraries. Note however that as usual, a SCA poster does not preclure subsequent publication of a complete paper on the same topic by the same authors (however, a SCA poster by other authors is considered prior art and should be cited as such). We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: - Up and coming computer animation research - Technically novel production work - Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution - Half-baked ideas and negative results - Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR. Poster Submissions - Submission website (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SCA_2018) - SCA will be using the Eurographics / Computer Graphics Forum template style (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SCA_2018/GetConferenceFile?fileID=8640) - Submission deadline: May 28, 2018 – 23:59 UTC Submission Instructions Poster submissions must be camera-ready, with author names and affiliations listed.

Computer Graphics and Visual Computing (CGVC) 2018 CfP

by eurographics＠eg.org

====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2018 (CGVC2018) The 36th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 13-14 September 2018, Swansea University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2018/ ====================================================== 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 2018 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 (poster papers). ï 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 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will serve as full paper publications. ï 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 double-blind 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) 15 minute presentations. ï Viewpoint Papers (aka. Position paper, ***new in CGVC2018***) - 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) 15 minute presentations. Submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable for poster presentation by the IPC will be offered an opportunity to present in the poster track. ï Extended Abstracts (Poster Papers) - CGVC 2018 is re-introducing a poster track. 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) for the papers track. We solicit poster submissions in the form of a poster and an accompanying sketch (i.e., 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 double-blind process. Accepted posters will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. Accepted extended 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: 8 June 2018 (Fri) Notification of Acceptance: 13 July 2018 (Fri) Camera Ready: 03 August 2018 (Fri) Conference: 13-14 September 2018 (Thu-Fri) ====================================================== Publication type | Page limit Full Paper | 4-8 pages, + 1-page refs only Short Paper | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only Viewpoint Paper (i.e. Position Paper) | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only Extended Abstract (i.e. Poster Paper) | 1-2 pages ====================================================== Conference Chair Robert S.

Expressive 2018: Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

-=[ Expressive 2018 ]=- === Call for Papers We would like to invite you to submit your work to Expressive 2018. Being at the forefront of expressive rendering research since 2012, Expressive 2018 (http://expressive.graphics/2018) will take place in Victoria, Canada, August 17-19, 2018 - shortly after SIGGRAPH 2018 (http://s2018.siggraph.org/) in Vancouver. A single registration for Expressive 2018 will include all three workshops. Invited talks and artists talks will be shared among the workshops and sessions will be mixed. The submission, review, and publication process for the event will be handled jointly across the three conferences. Expressive is a joint Symposium featuring the following workshops: * Computational Aesthetics (CAe) * Non-photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) * Sketch-based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM) Each paper submission should be designated as belonging to one of the three tracks. === Important dates for technical papers: * Paper submission deadline: April 10, 2018 * Acceptance notification: May 8, 2018 * Camera-ready submission: June 5, 2018 All deadlines are at 23:59:59 UTC/GMT. === Computational Aesthetics (CAe) Computational Aesthetics integrates the bridging aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. CAe investigates both tools to enhance the expressiveness of fine and applied arts, as well as theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. === Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering investigates computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. === Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling focuses on the exploration of models, algorithms, and technologies for efficient sketch-based interfaces. It investigates the classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics or 3D shapes. === Submission Types Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories: * Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic papers). These must contain novel results that make a substantive contribution to the field. * Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). We are equally interested in papers on the use of existing techniques combined in novel ways, or applying them in a new or unusual context. * Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines. Accepted papers will be published as a single conference proceedings by the ACM and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Papers will also be archived in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts to be considered for publication in a special section of Computers & Graphics journal (Elsevier) via a fast-track review process. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) * Simulation of natural media, traditional styles, and novel artistic styles * Analysis of image style and saliency (paintings, photographs, others) * Visualization techniques * Simplification and abstraction techniques (e.g. sketching, indication) * Empirically-based metrics of aesthetic attributes * Applied visual perception * Interaction techniques (e.g. sketch, gestural, multi-touch, multi-modal) * Sketch-parsing, classification and recognition * Novel interfaces for art creation, modeling, control, sketch input, etc. * Study designs and methodologies for evaluating and validating sketch-based systems, aesthetic metrics, visual communication systems, etc. * Advanced rendering techniques (e.g. volumetric, GPU, mobile, multi-modal) * Applications in special domains: Medicine, Geology, Biology, Sociology, etc. * Sketch-based information retrieval * Stylistic or aesthetic aspects of character animation and simulated physics * Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films, digital art) or applications in software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) * Visual composition * Design, rendering, and evaluation of layouts for text and presentation graphics * Example-based style transfer * Temporal and spatial coherence * Aesthetic evaluation and stylistic rendering of visual effects such as motion blur, depth of field, and lighting * Non-traditional camera models === Submission Information All work must be previously unpublished. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results, but must make a substantive contribution to the knowledge in the field. Papers should be 8-10 pages in length (excluding citations). Papers longer than 10 pages must make a very significant contribution. Paper submission is electronic using the EasyChair system. For detailed instructions to submit papers, posters, videos and other materials, please view the submission instructions. Please also consult the conference webpage for detailed submission instructions for general submissions and journal presentations, in addition to technical papers: http://expressive.graphics/2018/submissions/ Best Regards, Tunc Aydin, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland Daniel Sykora, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Li Ji, Organization Chair University of Victoria, Canada

REMINDER: Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2018 (updated deadlines)

by eurographics＠eg.org

=============================================== Eurographics Symposium on Rendering July 2-4, 2018 Karlsruhe, Germany http://cg.ivd.kit.edu/egsr18/ =============================================== CALL FOR PAPERS The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2018 will take place at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany from July 2nd to July 4th, 2018. This 29th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on Rendering. EGSR has two different tracks: the Experimental Ideas & Implementations (EI & I) track, and the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) track. Authors have the choice of submitting their work to the CGF track, the EI & I track, or both. The CGF track continues the tradition of disseminating the state-of-the-art scientific results in rendering and related fields. Accepted papers in this track will be published in an issue of Computer Graphics Forum after a full journal-style peer review, including a rebuttal and a second review cycle. The EI & I track emphasizes criteria such as whether the idea is stimulating and provides valuable insights to the rendering community, while the requirements on comparisons to related work and citations are relaxed. It thus serves as a venue for soliciting exciting new ideas that have not yet been fully validated according to the high academic standards of the CGF track, or that describe interesting implementation issues for known algorithms in practical industry-scale uses. Papers in this track will undergo full double-blind peer review, and will be published in the EGSR conference proceedings series and in the Eurographics Digital Library, but not the CGF journal. There is neither a rebuttal nor a second review cycle, however. As is common for conference papers, authors have the opportunity to build upon their work, add comparisons and validation, and submit to a journal later. Please the FAQ below for further information on the EI & I track. For both tracks, we are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and related fields. We would like to emphasize that the conference is not exclusively about rendering, and we encourage submissions in the related topics of appearance modeling, virtual/augmented reality, computational displays, fabrication, and hardware architectures. Neither track imposes a fixed maximum paper length. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must be proportional to contribution. If a paper is submitted to both tracks, the paper will initially be reviewed using the CGF process, and reviewers will be unaware of the dual-track submission. If such a paper is rejected from the CGF track, it will then undergo an accelerated EI & I review. Core conference topics include (but are not limited to): * Global illumination * Real-time and offline rendering * Statistics and machine learning-based techniques for image synthesis * Acquisition, modeling, and manipulation of light transport & appearance * Realistic, non-photorealistic, 2D, and 3D image processing & synthesis * Computational photography, optics & displays * Human perception of rendered images * Image synthesis for augmented or virtual reality * Software and hardware systems/architectures for rendering * Audio/sound rendering Important dates (note the updated deadlines. The dates apply to both CGF and EI&I tracks unless specifically indicated): * Abstract deadline: 6 April 2018 * Papers deadline: 9 April 2018 * Reviews due: 7 May 2018 * Rebuttals due: 14 May 2018 (CGF track) * Author notification: 25 May 2018 * Final papers due: 1 June 2018 * Final notification: 8 June 2018 All times are 23:59 (midnight) UTC. We hope to see you and your work in Karlsruhe! Wenzel Jakob Toshiya Hachisuka EGSR 2018 papers chairs -------------------- Frequently Asked Questions about the Experimental Ideas & Implementations Track Q: What’s the process to publish an extended journal version of my EI & I paper? A: Once you have a paper accepted in the EI & I track and published in the conference proceedings, many journals, CGF included, apply the rule by which adding 30% new material and addressing any major issues that had precluded journal publication would qualify the revised paper for consideration in the journal. The authors should indicate the nature of the submission in a cover letter. In addition, the EGSR papers committee and CGF editors may, at their discretion, invite select papers from the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track to a fast-track second review cycle in Computer Graphics Forum. Q: Why would I submit to both tracks? A: Should the committee decide your paper is not, in the form it was submitted, suitable for the CGF track, it will then be forwarded to the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track. You, the author, get a paper, valuable feedback, visibility for your ideas, and the possibility of later extending your work into a journal paper if the work is accepted in this second track. However, if you feel your contribution clearly falls within the scope of the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track but not the CGF track, please only submit to the former. This makes the job of the reviewers and the committee easier, which is of particular importance because the review schedule is tight. Q: What if my paper includes interesting system and implementation details but less algorithmic or mathematical novelty? A: We would love to consider your work for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: I have an intriguing idea but I am not certain if it only works in a certain special cases. A: We would love to consider your paper for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: Are Experimental Ideas & Implementations papers presented in separate sessions? A: No. In the spirit of promoting new and stimulating ideas, all papers will be presented alongside in sessions that fit their topic.
