Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation, Graz University of Technology: 3 year PhD position

by eurographics＠eg.org

Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation, Graz University of Technology Applications are invited for a 3 year PhD position The Institute for Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization <http://www.cgv.tugraz.at/> at Graz University of <https://www.tugraz.at/home/> Technology (TU Graz), Austria participates since 2012 in a joint PhD programme <https://www.tugraz.at/studium/studienangebot/doktoratsstudien/joint-doctora l-programme-visual-computing-zusammen-mit-nanyang-technological-university-s ingapore/> with the School of Computer Science <http://scse.ntu.edu.sg/> and Engineering <http://scse.ntu.edu.sg/> at Nanyang <http://www.ntu.edu.sg/> Technological University (NTU), Singapore. Currently, we offer a 3 year PhD Position on this joint program at the Institute for Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualisation, with a focus on research in Geometric Modeling, 3D Computer Graphics and Novel Applications in Visual Computing. The PhD includes a one year stay at NTU in Singapore in the second year, while year one and three will be spend at TU Graz, Austria. The PhD will be dual degree, that is the degree will be both, from TU Graz and NTU. The application deadline is: March 1st, 2018. Topic Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, anal- ysis, or optimization of a design. Most CAD software is traditionally based on NURBS spline surfaces. In recent years subdivision surfaces are becoming increasingly important for the development of high quality surfaces involved in CAD. Since the first time they were used in Pixars movie Geris game, they had great success in the entertainment industry and they are now widely supported in nearly all modern modeling programs for graphic applications. Their flexibility and the fact that some subdivision surfaces represent a superset of the standard Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) representation (see, e.g., [7, <> 4]) <> easily suggests that they can be the future description form of all geometric data. A subdivision surface is a method of representing a smooth surface via a specification of a coarser piecewise linear polygon mesh, the control mesh. A subdivision scheme is an iterative refinement which generates a sequence of finer and finer nets which converge to a smooth surface. Despite its simple iterative approach, the analysis of subdivision surfaces is hard and it has taken the last 40 years to understand exactly what characteristics a subdivision surface has in the limit. We now know that most reasonable schemes will have continuous tangent plane everywhere, and that it is possible to choose the coefficients so that the curvature remains bounded, though not quite constant in any region around irregular points [3, <> 2, <> 1]. <> The successful applicant will be working on aspects of geometry processing in order to improve the usability of subdivision surfaces. Description of the project: We are looking into improving the creation of subdivision control meshes from point clouds to apply subdivision surfaces in CAD and analysis. The evolution of 3D scanning devices and innovation in computer processing power and storage capacity has sparked a revolution in producing big point-cloud datasets. The big point-cloud datasets have caused complexity in handling surface reconstruction and visualization since existing algorithms are not readily available. In this project we aim to solve problems involving big point-cloud datasets from 3D scanning devices by converting the data to a mathematical representation, namely subdivision surfaces. This research can take a range of directions. One path we like to explore is applying deep learning to obtain good control meshes. What defines a good control mesh depends on the context in which the mesh will be used. We are investigating ways in which surface geometry for design and analysis can be modelled in the same framework based on subdivision surfaces [5, <> 6]. <> The research has multidisciplinary aspects drawing from computer science, mathematics, engineering and physics. Requirements: We are seeking an excellent and highly motivated PhD student interested in the fields of Computer Graphics, Geometry Processing, Computer Aided Design (CAD), Simulation and Analysis. A master degree in applied/computational mathematics or a closely related field is required with excellent grades. The applicant ideally has a good understanding of geometric modelling and processing, and/or finite element methods. Due to the computational nature of the project, programming skills (in Fortran/C++/Matlab) are also required. Additionally, some background in mesh processing (and/or computer aided geometry design) will be highly desirable. The selected candidates are expected to join by 1st of April 2018 or as soon as possible thereafter. Opportunities: What we offer in exchange: A creative environment in Graz, one of the most beautiful and lively cities in Austria. A young and international team of researchers with an excellent working atmosphere. A work environment that is equipped with the newest hardware and software technology. The possibility to present your research results at international top conferences. Entry level salary as a PhD researcher is currently 2.731,55 Euro gross, which is paid 14x per annum. As a PhD researcher at TU Graz you are also entitled to full social benefits. Freedom to explore your scientific interests in the course of your work (within the scope of the project goals). Continuing personal and professional education. The position includes one year stay at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), where you will continue your work under excellent local supervision. NTU is an autonomous institution based in Singapore. It has been ranked the best university in the world under fifty years of age, according to QS <https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/top-50-under-50/2016> Top 50 Under 50 2016-2017 and is also 11th in the world in the QS <https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankin gs/2018> World University Rankings 2018 <https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/world-university-rankin gs/2018> and third in the QS University Rankings: Asia <https://www.topuniversities.com/university-rankings/asian-university-rankin gs/2016> 2016.

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,

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2018 (3DOR'18): Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2018 (3DOR'18) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- A co-event of Eurographics 2018 April 15-16, 2018, Delft, The Netherlands https://3dor2018.sites.uu.nl/call-for-papers/ Important Dates ---------------------- Full/Short Paper Submission: February 2, 2018 Acceptance Notification: March 2, 2018 Camera Ready: March 9, 2018 Workshop dates: April 15-16, 2018 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 modeling 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). All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library. *Extended versions of the full papers will be submitted for a special issue of Computers and Graphics published by 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 and reviewer continuity will be aimed for. (Pending confirmation)* Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D shape analysis - 3D shape similarity and matching - 3D video retrieval - 3D mobile media retrieval - 3D object retrieval and Web3D - 3D search in large scale data - Personalized 3D search - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Shape correspondence - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-scale representations for matching and retrieval - 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 - Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. This year's workshop will also feature the 13th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC'2018). A separate call for participation will be issued shortly.

Call for Papers: Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2018

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 (applying to both CGF and EI&I tracks unless specifically indicated): * Abstract deadline: 2 April 2018 * Papers deadline: 6 April 2018 * Reviews due: 5 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.
