by eurographics＠eg.org

COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2017 (CGVC2017) The 35th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 14-15 September 2017, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2017/ The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2017 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 mainly in the form of extended abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions of full papers. Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will count as full paper publications. Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere. Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference. Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages, demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters during a poster session. Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See full instruction at the conference website. Topics include but are not limited to: ● Computer animation and image-based animation ● Computer-based arts and entertainment ● Vision-based techniques and image processing ● Acquisition and reconstruction techniques ● Graphics architectures and acceleration hardware ● Medical imaging ● Multimedia visualisation ● Computer Games ● Rendering techniques ● Scientific visualization and big data ● Information visualization and visual analytics ● Augmented reality and collaborative environments ● Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices ● Human computer interaction, robotics, and haptics ● Modelling methods Important Dates: Submission Deadline Notification of Acceptance Camera Ready Conference 16 June 2017 14 July 2017 4 August 2017 14-15 September 2017 Conference co-chairs: Dr Tao Ruan Wan, Bradford University, UK, Dr Franck Vidal, and Bangor University, UK.

New PhD Student Position

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear colleagues, we are looking for highly motivated candidates for an open PhD position in the National Centre for Computer Animation (NCCA), Faculty of Media and Communication, Bournemouth University, UK. This is a fully-funded 3-year PhD studentship which includes a stipend of £14,000 each year to support living costs. This project "Interactive Hybrid Modelling of Heterogeneous Volumetric Objects" involves the research, design and development of a generic interactive modelling software system oriented to hybrid modelling of heterogeneous volumetric objects. The overall project involves the research and development of new mathematical techniques and algorithms, and the development of novel software tools, possibly including an Application Programming Interface (API), a scripting language and a Graphical User Interface (GUI). An orientation towards the digital fabrication (3D printing) of the produced geometric models is an additional aspect of this research project. The exact scope of the project will be defined taking into account a particular PhD student's interests and skills. This is project relevant to several application areas such Computer-Aided Design (CAD), computer simulation and animation, additive manufacturing, computer art and cultural heritage preservation. A variety of research problems are to be addressed. Fundamental research concerned with geometric and topological representations of multi-material heterogeneous objects will benefit from new mathematical models and their mapping to data structures and operations. Applied research will benefit from the development of new efficient algorithms for realising and transforming both the geometry and physical properties of volume objects, especially multi-material ones, devising the specialist high-level language, rendering and fabrication algorithms, and system architecture design. The beneficiaries of this project will be CAD and animation system developers, 3D printers production companies, art and design communities, and education. The output of the research in the form of the innovative modelling system will open up new application areas that are impossible to achieve using existing CAD and animation systems. Designers and animators will get easier available tools fine-tuned to their specific styles and facilitating the production of advanced multi-material volume models. Teachers and students will hopefully use the developed tools for learning and exploring mathematical and physical dynamic phenomena. Candidates must demonstrate outstanding academic potential with preferably a 1st class honours degree and/or a Masters degree with distinction or equivalent Grade Point Average. An IELTs (Academic) score of 6.5 minimum (with a minimum 5.5 in each component) is essential for candidates for whom English is not their first language. The direct link to the project description is <https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/phd-studentship-interactive-hy brid-modelling-heterogeneous-volumetric-objects> https://www1.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/phd-studentship-interactive-hyb rid-modelling-heterogeneous-volumetric-objects.

The poster draft can be added as additional material but is not mandatory for the submission. Submissions can also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs, up to a limit of 50MB for the entire submission, including the PDF files. We encourage the use of digital videos to support poster submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. You also need to provide a complete list of authors when submitting your poster so that members of the program committee can avoid conflicts of interest during reviewer assignment. All authors must be specified in the submission system at the time of the submission. Posters are to be submitted using the PCS submission system at <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/> https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/. The posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage single-blind process. We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss novel and significant contributions. The reviewing will be based primarily on the sketch content but will consider other materials if provided. Poster presentation ------------------- Accepted poster will be presented at the poster session of the conference. The final posters should be printed on paper no larger than paper size A0 portrait (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm = 33.1 in x 46.8 in, cf. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paper_size). At least one author of an accepted poster must register for and attend the conference to present the work. Authors will also be required to present a brief half-minute summary of their talk at the opening fast-forward session. Poster/abstract publication --------------------------- 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. However, publication in the EG digital library can be omitted on request. Traditionally, 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. This should not be considered self-plagiarism. However, as posters/sketches are citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and results presented in posters/sketches. More Information ---------------- For any questions concerning poster submissions please contact the co-chairs: Anna Puig Puig, University of Barcelona Tobias Isenberg, Inria e-mail: ev2017-poster(a)cs.upc.edu URL: <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/index.php/for-submitters/posters> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es/index.php/for-submitters/posters

EGPGV'17 Call for Papers - Revised Deadline

by eurographics＠eg.org

=================================================================== Due to several requests the DEADLINE has been extended to: March 12, 2017 AOE Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers -- DEADLINE is March 12, 2017 AOE Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers  =========================================================================  June 12-13, 2017, Barcelona, Spain  Co-located with EuroVis 2017  <http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/> http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/ Dear colleagues, The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and cluster systems. Computationally demanding and data-intensive applications in graphics and visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel efficient parallel solutions. The aim of this symposium is to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization.  The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.  Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for:   - large-data   - HPC and cloud environments  - (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures  - shared and/or distributed memory architectures  - out-of-core The symposium topics include:   - computationally and data intensive rendering - scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow, and tensor visualization)  - information visualization and visual analytics - in-situ analytics and in-situ visualization  - simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision detection, acoustics)  - mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods  - visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and exploitation, segmentation)  - scheduling, memory management, and data coherence  - distributed, parallel, or multi-threaded approaches - mapReduce-based and database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, query based visualization - advanced hardware for data handling or visualization - large and high resolution displays, virtual environments  - scientific, engineering, and industrial applications Submission types  ========================  You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Two types of submissions are accepted, as follows. Full papers ======================== Full papers are expected to be eight to ten (8-10) pages in length, with the final length appropriate to the contribution of the paper. Submissions are to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines.  We expect that full paper submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system.  Short papers  ============================ This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages in length. As such, they typically address novel ideas or work in progress which has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel graphics and visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools and systems, industry success stories, and showcases of applications making use of parallel graphics and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens the visualization showcase track that was present in earlier editions of EGPGV. Short papers and their supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system. Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium proceedings and be published via the Eurographics Digital Library. Submission process ================= Papers are accepted when submitted via the PCS system ( <http://precisionconference.com> precisionconference.com). Additional details with respect to the submission process will be announced shortly on <http://egpgv.org/egpgv2017> egpgv.org/egpgv2017  Reviewing process ================= Both paper types (full and short) will be reviewed by at least three members of the International Program Committee (IPC), in a single review pass. Full papers deemed insufficient in terms of the contribution level expected for a full paper, but presenting otherwise interesting, novel, and valuable results, can be selected by the IPC to be accepted as short papers. The review process is not double blind; we leave it to the  latitude of the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions.

Expressive 2017 ? Call for Submissions

by eurographics＠eg.org

Expressive 2017: The Joint Symposium on Computational Aesthetics (CAe), Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) and Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) A single registration for Expressive 2017 includes all three tracks (CAe, NPAR and SBIM) Dates: July 29--30, 2017 Location: Los Angeles, California (co-located with Siggraph 2017) URL: <https://expressivesymposium.com/> https://expressivesymposium.com Expressive fuses three symposia centered on expressive aspects of computer graphics. Computational Aesthetics (CAe) 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) 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) 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. Each paper submission should be designated by the authors as belonging to at least one of the three tracks. 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.

Extended deadline (Feb 28): Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017). <http://wiced.inria.fr/> http://wiced.inria.fr/ NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: February 28. NEW TRACK for INVITED TALKS: Send one page abstract. The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of interactive games and virtual worlds. At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video. The workshop series is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront research being performed in both domains. One common area of active research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told and its relation to its communicative goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality movie making. This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial experts working in all aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing, as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues. The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum, which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière - inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema. ========== Submission ========== Researchers should submit one of: Regular paper (max 8 pages) reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. Short paper (max 4 pages) describing work in progress or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. NEW:Invited paper (1 page abstract) reporting relevant work already published in other venues. Submission information will be updated on the workshop site <http://wiced.inria.fr/> http://wiced.inria.fr/ Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing in the EG Digital Library. ================= Topics of interest ================= Camera path planning and visibility Interactive and automatic camera control Automatic video editing Movie pre-vizualization Game cinematics, cinematic replays, and machinima Virtual reality and augmented reality movie making Immersive and interactive cinema Natural user interfaces for cinematography and editing Expressive performance of virtual characters Cognitive models of film perception Automatic video analysis of movies Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing Computer-assisted multi-camera production Evaluation methodologies and user experience Analysis of film style =============== Important Dates =============== Paper submission (EXTENDED DEADLINE): February 28, 2017. Notification to authors: March 17, 2017. Camera-ready deadline: March 24, 2017. Workshop held: April 24, 2017. ==================== Organizing committee ==================== The international workshop series is supervised by a steering committee composed of Magy Seif El-Nasr (Northeastern University), R. Michael Young (NC State University), Joseph Magliano (Northern Illinois University), Paolo Burelli (Aalborg University Copenhagen), Arnav Jhala (UC Santa Cruz), and Remi Ronfard (Inria Grenoble).
