Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on 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/ 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. Submission information will be updated on the workshop site 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: February 10, 2017. Notification to authors: March 10, 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).

EuroVis 2017 will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from June 12th till June the 16th, 2017 Like last year, all accepted EuroVis 2017 STAR reports will be published in Computer Graphics Forum. State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the visualization research community. We encourage the submission of STARs on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent previous STAR or other survey. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines and application areas demonstrating contributions to, or benefits from, the area of visualization including, but not limited to, visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography, chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational sciences, medicine, biology, economy, politology, etc. As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will undergo a multi-stage process. First, authors are being asked to submit an initial sketch by October 9, 2016. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance for the visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two page. References and short biographies are considered extra pages and are not counted within the two page limit. Bibliographies should be limited to 200 words per author. The format of the sketch can be found at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided by October 30, 2016. Authors will then be required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where three external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full submissions are 25 pages maximum. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to submit the brief biographies of all authors as a piece of supplementary materials. Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and will be conducted using <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/> https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to the guidelines defined at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es> http://eurovis2017.virvig.es We plan to schedule each STAR as a 40-100 minute presentation as in Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2017 program).

CFP Full Papers - EUROGRAPHICS 2017

by eurographics＠eg.org

CALL FOR FULL PAPERS - EUROGRAPHICS 2017 The Eurographics 2017 Full Papers Program will showcase innovative research in Computer Graphics and related areas. We invite submissions of new ideas, and encourage all forms of research creativity and originality. We are interested in practice, experience, novel applications, technological or theoretical papers, with the ambition of setting the standard in the field and stimulating future trends. Accepted full papers will be presented at <http://eurographics2017.fr/> Eurographics 2017 and published in a special issue of the Eurographics journal <https://www.eg.org/index.php/publications/computer-graphics-forum> Computer Graphics Forum, and the submissions will undergo a two-step review process. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, including but not limited to rendering, modeling, animation, simulation, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, display technology, image processing, visual computing, computational fabrication, human-computer interaction, and related disciplines. Timeline October 7th, 2016, 23:59 GMT Preliminary abstract due (required for any further submission) October 14th , 2016, 23:59 GMT Full papers due December 1st, 2016 Reviews available December 1st - December 06, 2016 Rebuttal period December 23rd, 2016 First notification January 18th, 2017 Revised version due February 1st, 2017 Final notification February 15st, 2017 Camera ready version due Submission Dates A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 GMT, Friday, October 7th, 2016, and the full paper deadline is 23:59 GMT, Friday, October 14th, 2016. Note that a full paper can only be submitted if an abstract has been submitted by the abstract deadline. Submission Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017> Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2017/Instruction> The publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2. Accepted papers must be presented orally in English at Eurographics 2017. Review of full papers is based on a double-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all personal data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation. Note that CGF has a general recommendation for full technical papers, i.e., up to 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images but excluding references). Meanwhile CGF and EG2017 do not impose strict maximum lengths. However, papers should only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers might rank submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily long lower than they would score concisely written papers. Double Submission Policy Authors are required to include a declaration stating that the scientific contribution of their work is original: this means that no paper with similar results has been published, or is submitted for consideration at another venue during the review period of Eurographics 2017. Any paper that does not adhere to these requirements will be rejected without review. Re-Submitted Material For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as an Additional Attachment (see last section of the SRM upload form for details). Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes * The reviews will be made available to the authors on December 1st, 2016. During a rebuttal period from December 1st to December 6th, 2016, authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews. * The date for notification of the results of the first round of the review process is December 23rd, 2016. * Revised versions of the papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by January 18th, 2017. * The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 1st, 2017. * The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February 15th, 2017. * From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle Award, including a cash prize of 1,000 Euros, presented at Eurographics 2017.
