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 Call for Papers -------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.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. *This year, extended versions of the full papers will be submitted for a dedicated special issue of Computers and Graphics published by Elsevier. The deadline for this special issue has been set to June 9th 2017.* 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.

Crowdsourcing journal rankings in Computer Graphics

by eurographics＠eg.org

Dear Colleagues, The CORE ranking of journals and conferences, used in Australia for research evaluation, is also used outside Australia, either formally or informally. Due to the small number of graphics researchers in Australasia, the list of journals and conferences in our field is incomplete and some rankings are clearly incorrect. Therefore, please take the time to participate to the survey below, open to all researchers with a PhD: - Go to: <http://portal.core.edu.au/core-survey> http://portal.core.edu.au/core-survey and enter values for the main journals and conferences in our field. - Enter NA (non applicable) for the other ones. (the original announcement is below) Thanks and best regards, Marie-Paule Cani, vice-chair of Eurographics --------------------- Crowdsourcing journal rankings in Computer Graphics You are invited to participate in a crowdsourcing study run by CORE (Australasian COmputing Research and Education association) to collect opinions on the quality of various computer science journals. The intent is to analyse the usefulness of this data as input to a rankings process for adding or modifying rankings of journals in the CORE database (portal.core.edu.au/jnl-ranks). If aggregate opinions are found to be useful,they will be provided to the rankings committee for assessment regarding journal ranking decisions. The success of crowdsourced data collection depends on obtaining large numbers of participants. There are insufficient computer graphics researchers in Australasia to make a good sample, so we are seeking opinions from researchers in the Eurographics community. To participate in this study you must be an active researcher, and hold a PhD in the field. Further information, and the entry point to the survey can be found at <http://portal.core.edu.au/core-survey> http://portal.core.edu.au/core-survey. Within the survey, Computer Graphics is included within section 0801 (Artificial Intelligence and Image Processing). The survey allows you to ignore any journals with which you have no experience. It takes 5-10 minutes to complete. Please do NOT reply to this email. If you wish to discuss this approach, please join the discussion list at <http://www.core.edu.au/discussion-forum> http://www.core.edu.au/discussion-forum and use this for any discussion. Regards, Neil Dodgson Professor of Computer Graphics Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand Lin Padgham (CORE President) Professor in Artificial Intelligence RMIT, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

Open PhD position on Creating Light Fields at University of Bath

by eurographics＠eg.org

Creating light field content from existing images and videos The goal of this project is to create appealing visual content for upcoming light field displays from existing imagery, particularly from image and video collections such as historical photos or consumer videos. Light field displays for the first time offer the viewer more than two views of an object from different perspectives, and they can thus reproduce the appearance of real-world objects which previously unachieved fidelity. This has been demonstrated by first research prototype displays, and commercial light field displays will become available within the next few years. However, cameras for capturing light field images or videos are not yet readily available, which is why this project aims to create light field content from existing imagery, which is readily available. To achieve this goal, the project will research and develop image- and video-based rendering approaches for synthesising visually plausible novel views, as well as new data-driven inpainting techniques for filling occlusion holes in a visually consistent manner. Requirements Candidates should normally have a good first degree (equivalent to a First Class or 2:1 Honours), or a Masters degree in computer science, visual computing or a related discipline. A strong mathematical background and strong previous programming experience, preferably in C++ and/or Python, is required. Candidates must have a strong interest in visual computing, and previous experience in computer vision, computer graphics and image processing is highly desirable. Funding notes UK and EU students applying for this project may be considered for a University Research Studentship which will cover Home/EU tuition fees, a training support fee of £1000 per annum and a tax-free maintenance allowance of £14,296 (2016/17 rate) for 3.5 years.

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2017 (3DOR'17)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------- Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2017 (3DOR17) ----------------------------------------------------------- A co-event of Eurographics 2017 April 23-24, 2017, Lyon, France <http://liris.cnrs.fr/eg3dor2017/> http://liris.cnrs.fr/eg3dor2017/ Important Dates -------------------------------------------- Paper submission : February 3, 2017 Notification of authors : March 3, 2017 Camera-ready papers due : March 10, 2017 Workshop dates : April 23-24, 2017 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. *This year, 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.

PhD student position in urban data viz at Ecole Centrale de Nantes

by eurographics＠eg.org

The CRENAU team of the AAU lab (http://aau.archi.fr/) of Ecole Centrale de Nantes works on urban environnement perception. We propose a PhD student position in urban data viz (see attachement for details), with IRCCYN lab (http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/ <http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/fr/> ). We are looking for student interested in urba data perception, user experience and a multidisciplinary research environment. Send your application to vincent.tourre(a)ec-nantes.fr best regards, -- Vincent Tourre Associate Professor Team CRENAU / Lab AAU École Centrale de Nantes UDMV2016 Programme co-chair : <http://events.ulg.ac.be/udmv2016> http://events.ulg.ac.be/udmv2016 PhD proposal – VisUrba project Visualization of multi layered spatio-‐temporal 3D urban datasets Keywords: urban data, geovisualisation, user study Background, Context: The understanding of complex spatio-‐temporal urban data is a critical challenge in urban planning as the stakeholders have to take into account numerous constraints related to various domains embedding sustainable, social and economical concerns. To tackle this problem, geovisualization uses methods based on human perception and cognition to show the underlying meaning of spatio-‐temporal datasets. This PhD thesis proposes to explore visualization methods in various 3D environments (Desktop, VR, AR, SAR) to find the best solution for a given user task (exploration, decision) at a given urban scale (building, street, district, etc.). This PhD in information visualization takes place into an pluridisciplinary environment (computer science, geoinformation, humanities): the CRENAU team of the AAU lab ( <http://crenau.archi.fr/)%2Cwhich> http://crenau.archi.fr/),which is a founding member of the IRSTV research institute (www.irstv.fr), and the IVC team of the IRCCyN lab ( <http://www.irccyn.ec-/> http://www.irccyn.ec-‐ nantes.fr/fr/equipes/ivc). Research subject, work plan: The work is about displaying spatio-‐temporal urban data in an effective way. Based on the user's profile, behavior and task, the most appropriate visualization type and data quality will be estimated. More precisely, this PhD thesis proposes to consider each data as a layer that will be processed according to the data type and the required levels of detail as well as the display context. The data model will be based on standards currently used in GIS and/or BIM communities. User tests will be conducted to evaluate the quality of proposed solutions. The research challenges include both visualization solution proposal and the construction of an evaluation framework for information visualization.
