TopoInVis 2015 Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

/// TopoInVis 2015 - Call for Papers /// <http://topoinvis.org/2015/> http://topoinvis.org/2015/ Topology-based methods are of increasing importance in the analysis and visualization of datasets from a wide variety of scientific domains such as biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. Current challenges of topology-based techniques include the extension of concepts to time-dependent data, the representation of large and complex datasets, the characterization of noise and uncertainty, the effective integration of numerical methods with robust combinatorial algorithms, etc. In this forum we will bring together the most prominent and best recognized researchers in the field of topology-based data analysis and visualization for a joint discussion and scientific exchange of the latest results in the field. At the workshop we will discuss topics, which include: * scalar/vector/tensor field topology * topology of point sets and cell complexes * multi-field topology * theoretical models * combinatorial methods and robustness * multi-scale representation models * higher-order topological methods * time-dependent methods * feature extraction * Lagrangian coherent structures * topology-based denoising * topological similarity and correlation * topology simplification * user interfaces and visualization * domain specific interpretation of topological constructs and results * efficiency of topological algorithms The 2015 workshop in Annweiler, Germany follows the five successful workshops in 2005 (Budmerice, Slovakia), 2007 (Grimma, Germany), 2009 (Snowbird, USA), 2011 (Zurich, Switzerland), and 2013 (Davis, USA). It will be held in an open atmosphere of informal discussions, open exchange and personal interaction. We invite participation at the workshop through full papers including presentation, or through panels that discuss topics of interest to the community. For TopoInVis 2015, we especially solicit work that discusses implementations of topological analysis and visualization techniques. Such implementations must be available under an open-source license. It is our intent to create at TopoInVis a platform to disseminate knowledge about such implementations throughout and beyond the community. Corresponding papers are expected to describe the strategies behind their novel implementation, discuss capabilities, limitations, and performance characteristics, and compare the presented implementation to similar works if those exist. Paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program committee before the workshop, and must be presented at the workshop. We are tentatively planning to publish all accepted papers in the Mathematics + Visualization series of Springer after a mandatory revision incorporating reviewer comments and discussions at the workshop. Important Dates: Dec. 19, 2014: *abstract submission* for papers Jan. 14, 2015: *submission deadline* for papers and panel proposals Feb. 20, 2015: notification of acceptance Apr. 17, 2015 (tentative): revised papers due Jun. 12, 2015 (tentative): secound round reviews due Jun. 19, 2015 (tentative): final notification Instructions on how to submit a paper or panel proposal can be found here: <http://vis.uni-kl.de/topoinvis/author-instructions/> http://vis.uni-kl.de/topoinvis/author-instructions/ Program Chairs (alphabetic order): Hamish Carr, University of Leeds, UK Christoph Garth, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany Tino Weinkauf, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany and KTH Stockholm, Sweden

3D Object Retrieval Workshop (3DOR) 2015

by eurographics＠eg.org

3D Object Retrieval Workshop (3DOR) 2015 Co-located event with Eurographics 2015 Website: <http://vc.ee.duth.gr/3dor2015/> http://vc.ee.duth.gr/3dor2015/ Do you remember the days when retrieving the data that you needed from the internet was a matter of visiting sites your friends knew? The days when you would try out alternative search engines to find a single result? Was it a coincidence that text retrieval engines flourished with the explosion of textual information on the internet that could not be manually explored? A new wave of information is now underway. Low-cost 3D scanners and 3D printers combined with popular applications of Computer Graphics and Vision are making 3D object models appeal to an increasing audience. See for example repositories such as <http://shapes.aimatshape.net/> http://shapes.aimatshape.net/ , <https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/> https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/. As these 3D object collections are growing, the importance of effective retrieval, search and exploration is increasing. Because it is easier to find something than to create it from scratch and because manual browsing quickly becomes intractable as a collection grows. To this effect it is crucial to develop algorithms for the content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; indexing 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for data bases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance such as what it means for two shapes to be similar; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms. Many fields of Computer Science and beyond can offer their valuable knowledge to this complex but highly interesting and practical problem. 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 2015will be the 8th workshop in this series. 3DOR 2015 will be a 2-day event for the first time and will contain the following tracks: research papers, posters, 2 keynote speeches (NEW!), EU project presentations and networking (NEW!), industrial session (NEW!). Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations 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). Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object 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 - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-level 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 - Relevance feedback methods - Active learning - Statistical techniques for 3D shape analysis and 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 years workshop will also feature the 10th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC2015). A separate call for participation will be issued later. It is planned to have extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop appearing, after a further review, in a special issue of an international journal. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal.

Call for Contributions - IEEE VIrtual Reality 2015 in France

by eurographics＠eg.org

Apologies for cross postings. _____ Call for Contributions IEEE Virtual Reality 2015 March 23-27, 2015 Arles, Camargue - Provence - France <http://ieeevr.org/2015> http://ieeevr.org/2015 Important Dates Long & Short Papers abstracts September 5, 2014 Long & Short Papers September 12, 2014 Industrial Presentations October 13, 2014 Lab/Project Presentations October 27, 2014 Panels November 10, 2014 Workshops November 19, 2014 Tutorials November 21, 2014 Posters November 21, 2014 Videos December 26, 2014 Research Demos January 19, 2015 _____ Call for Long & Short Papers _____ IEEE VR 2015 seeks original, high-quality papers in all areas related to virtual reality, including augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and 3D user interfaces. Each paper should be classifiable as mainly covering research, applications, or systems, using the following guidelines for each: * Research papers should describe results that contribute to advances in state-of-the-art software, hardware, algorithms, interaction, or human factors. * Application papers should explain how the authors built upon existing ideas and applied them to solve an interesting problem in a novel way. Each paper should include an evaluation of the success of the use of VR/AR/MR in the given application domain. * System papers should indicate how the implementers integrated known techniques and technologies to produce an effective system, along with any lessons learned in the process. Each paper should include an evaluation of the research, including benchmarking that was performed (e.g., latency or frame-rate). Topics include: * Immersive gaming * 3D interaction for VR/AR/MR * Input devices for VR/AR/MR * Haptics, audio, and other non-visual interfaces * VR systems and toolkits * Augmented and mixed reality * Computer graphics techniques for VR/AR/MR * Advanced display technology * Immersive projection technology * Multi-user and distributed VR/AR/MR * Serious games * Tracking and sensing * Modeling and simulation * User studies and evaluation * Perception, presence, and cognition * 3D selection and 3D manipulation * Locomotion and navigation in virtual environments * Applications of VR/AR/MR * Teleoperation and telepresence This year, we will continue the process of having all accepted long papers published in a special issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). To meet TVCG standards, long papers will undergo a two-stage review process (see SUBMISSION DEADLINES below). Authors of long papers that are determined to be acceptable with minor revisions during a first review cycle will be invited to submit a revised version for a second review cycle. Only long papers that are accepted in this second review cycle will appear in the journal issue and be presented at the conference. Short papers can cover preliminary studies, prototype applications, or initial implementations. Short papers will be published separately in the standard conference proceedings. The primary difference between short and long papers is in the size of their contributions and NOT in the importance/impact of their contributions. To assure this, short and long papers will be treated as separate tracks and will be accepted or rejected according to the merit of their contributions. In general, rejected long papers will NOT be considered for acceptance as short papers, unless the reviewers unanimously feel this is the right decision, and rewriting is determined to be doable in the time available. Consequently, authors should carefully consider the category for each submitted paper. Note that an abstract must be uploaded prior to the paper. This facilitates assigning reviewers, as the review process is on a tight schedule. All paper submissions must be in English. Long papers must not exceed ten (10) pages in length, with the caveat that the standard is eight (8) pages. Short papers must not exceed six (6) pages in length. If the reviewers find a paper overly long for the size of its contribution, they may ask for it to be shortened it if it is accepted. Both long and short papers should be formatted using the IEEE Computer Society format described at <http://www.cs.sfu.ca/%7Evis/Track/vr-menu.html> http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Track/vr-menu.html. For index terms, please use the descriptors from the ACM Computing Classification System, located at <http://www.acm.org/class> http://www.acm.org/class. For paper and abstract submissions please visit <https://precisionconference.com/%7Evr> https://precisionconference.com/~vr. IEEE VR uses a double-blind review process, meaning both the authors and the reviewers remain anonymous to each other. Submissions (including citations and optional videos) should not contain information that unnecessarily identifies the authors, their institutions, or their places of work. Relevant previous work by the authors should be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity. In order to fully explain the relationship between the submitted paper and relevant previous work by the authors, authors may additionally upload previous papers as well as a non-anonymous letter of explanation; these materials will only been seen by the primary reviewer. All papers must be submitted electronically. Authors may also submit videos to aid the program committee in reviewing their submissions. Videos must be submitted according to the instructions at the conference website. Videos submitted with papers will automatically be considered for possible inclusion in the video proceedings (video submissions may also be made independently, as described in the « Call for Videos »). When submitted as supporting material, videos must be free of identifying information. If accepted for the video proceedings, a revised version will be requested. Paper submissions must not have been previously published. A paper is considered to have been previously published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A paper identical or substantially similar in content (in its entirety or in part) to one submitted to VR should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or journal during the entire VR review process, from the submission deadline until notifications of decisions are emailed to authors. SUBMISSION DEADLINES FOR LONG AND SHORT PAPERS: Each deadline is midnight GMT on the stated day, no matter where the submitter is located. Long & Short Paper abstracts due (REQUIRED): September 5, 2014 Long & Short Paper submissions due: September 12, 2014 Notification of results of first review cycle: November 4, 2014 Revised paper submission due for second review cycle (REQUIRED FOR LONG PAPERS): December 5, 2014 ** The submission deadlines will be strictly enforced. ** Paper abstracts and complete papers must be submitted through the online submission system.
