In addition, NVIDIA is happy to support this with the donation of a Quadro 6000 graphics card to the authors of the best paper presented at the conference. Conference Co-Chairs Gabriel Zachmann Carolina Cruz-Neira Kiyoshi Kiyokawa Program Chairs Takuya Nojima, Japan Dirk Reiners, USA Oliver Staadt, Germany About the conference ICAT - the International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence - is the oldest international conference on Virtual Reality and Telexistence, started in 1991. Artificial Reality and Telexistence augment human ability in perception, understanding, action, time and space. They also enable humans seemingly to be everywhere at the same time, i.e., enable humans to be virtually ubiquitous. ICAT has been held in various cities around the world, including Tokyo, Taipei (2000), Seoul (2004), Christchurch (2005), Hanzhou (2006), Esbjerg (2007), Yokohama (2008), Lyon (2009), Adelaide (2010), Osaka (2011), Madrid (2012) and Tokyo (2013) again. EGVE - the Eurographics International Symposium on Virtual Environments - is the Eurographics Symposium for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with using and improving virtual reality. It started in 1993 as a workshop, and successful symposiums have recently been held in Zurich 2003, Grenoble 2004, Aalborg 2005, Lisbon 2006, Weimar 2007, Eindhoven 2008, Lyon 2009, Stuttgart 2010, Nottingham 2011, Madrid 2012, and Paris 2013. ICAT and EGVE were already merged two times, in Lyon in 2009, and in Madrid in 2012. After these two very successful experiences, and many formal and informal discussions, the steering committees of both ICAT and EGVE expressed the desire to expand and strengthen their cooperation through the merger of the ICAT conference and the EGVE conference into a conference named ICAT-EGVE. The aim of the merger is to expand the conference in order to make it one of the foremost scientific conferences in the field of virtual reality in future. The recent cooperation with EuroVR through the Joint Virtual Reality Conference (JVRC), has also been very successful, EuroVR being responsible for the industrial part of the conference. This cooperation is extended in the form of two independent, but co-located conferences (ICAT-EGVE the scientific conference, and EuroVR the industrial one), thus allowing attendees to focus either on the most recent scientific progresses, or on the industrial applications, or on both.

PhD position in visualization at Inria Saclay, France (20km from Paris): Visualization of structural and functional connectivity in the brain

by eurographics＠eg.org

*PhD position in visualization at Inria Saclay, France (20km from Paris): Visualization of structural and functional connectivity in the brain* PDF version: http://www.aviz.fr/wiki/uploads/Research/2014_AVIZ_PhD_Project_-_BrainVis.pd f application deadline: September 15, 2014 starting date: end of 2014 at the latest Description: The study of brain connectivity is one of the fundamental ways to investigate the complex functions of the (human) brain. For this purpose, neuroanatomists capture and investigate two different types of connectivity: anatomical connectivity arising from diffusion-weighted MRI measurements and functional connectivity based on fMRI scans. Both types of data have advantages and disadvantages, but ultimately it is essential to study them in concert. The research project: The research in this PhD project will employ and combine approaches from two sub-fields of visualization: the visualization of spatial relationships (SciVis, for anatomical connectivity) and the visualization of abstract data (InfoVis, for functional connectivity data). The goal is to be able to start the interactive investigation with either type of data, being able to interactively and freely switch between the different representations as it is needed for the data exploration. The ultimate vision is two-fold: The first and foremost aspect is to get to a more in-depth understanding on how to support interactive data exploration using various new and state-of-the-art visualization techniques in the neurosciences. The second aspect is that to more generally push the boundaries of multimodal visualization to be able to generalize the findings of this research to other fields that work on a daily basis with data that has both spatial and abstract characteristics. For this purpose the project extends past results in the visualization of dense line data as well as the visualization of weighted graphs. For the first aspect of anatomical connectivity, the project will use methods from illustrative visualization to deal with the dense fibertract datasets that are generated from diffusion-weighted MRI. This aspect of the visualization will provide an important visual reference and landmark for the exploration of functional connectivity, for which the project will rely on the visualization of weighted graphs. A general challenge in this context is the question on how to create a visualization that combines both data types, either in separate views or in a combined view. Separate linked views are common in abstract data visualization and we will thus explore their application for our application. A view that integrates both could combine fibertracts inside the brain for anatomical connectivity with a bundled view of functional links on its outside. This approach has the potential benefit of not requiring a mental integration of separate points of reference. On the other hand, this approach may lead to a cluttered and overloaded depiction. The project will therefore explore new ways of controlling the abstraction in the data depiction to deal with this issue to be able to show the realistic large and complex datasets. This work will thus also require research to understand how to apply illustrative visualization to abstract data. Such visualizations of the fibertracts in a more or less realistic way is convenient for the neuroscientist, but we have to consider other complementary linked views. These views often do not match the realistic physical appearance of fibertracts but instead focus on the task at hand the neuroscientist wants to perform with the data. So other representations than graphs will be explored as part of this project such as scatter plots or space-filling or pixel-based designs enabling to provide a mapping of the information space more efficient to solve a specific visual analytic task. Machine learrning techniques such as generative graphs will be used to automatically extract summaries of the anatomical and functional connectivity data. These geometrical and topological summaries will be used as a backbone structure for the visualization of the information space to be used for visual analysis tasks. Moreover, an integral aspect of our approach is to combine the visualization techniques in an interactive exploration tool that supports analists in adjusting their exploration strategy as needed. An integral part of the neuroanatomists' data exploration is the comparison of different datasets, either derived from different people or captured at different points in time. Therefore, the comparison of different datasets and the temporal exploration will be an essential aspect of the project. To be successful in this project, the PhD student will work closely with domain experts in the neurosciences from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie, both to develop the integrated interactive visualization techniques using a participatory design approach as well as to evaluate the new techniques in controlled experiements. By closely working with the domain experts, the PhD student will work toward an interactive tool for neuroanatomical data exploration that integrates the new visualization techniques. The goal for this tool is that it can be used in a realistic context for the everyday analysis tasks of the neuroanatomists and that it will be provided to the public as open-source software. Beyond this implementation, the project will result in a deeper understanding of how to combine spatially explicit data with connected abstract data aspects to benefit visualization in the sciences in general. The PhD research will be conducted under the supervision of Tobias Isenberg and within the AVIZ research team at INRIA SaclayÎle-de-France which concentrates on the visualization of complex data. AVIZ is one of the most respected research labs in information visualization and visual analytics worldwide. The PhD student will closely collaborate, in particular, with Cédric Gouy-Pailler from the Laboratoire Analyse de Données et Intelligence des Systèmes at CEA whose expertise in machine learning will be essential for the work. In addition, we will work with domain experts in the neurosciences from the Université Pierre et Marie Curie. Required applicants skills: * highly motivated student * degree (M.Sc., M. Eng, or equivalent) in computer science or closely related fields * education background in one or more of the following fields: visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and machine learning * interest in applications in neuroimaging or in knowledge discovery * previous experience in these fields (in particular, neuroimaging) would be highly beneficial * experience in modern computer graphics (GPU) programming * fluent in written and spoken English (French language skills are not required but would be beneficial for living in France and interacting with people outside of the lab) * previous experience in research and publication of research results beneficial Application package: * detailed CV * motivation letter * summary of the master thesis * transcript of the grades * contact details for two academic references * prepare all application documents electronically and in English * application deadline: applications are reviewed as they are received; however, for full consideration please submit your application by September 15 Contact: Dr. Tobias Isenberg <tobias.isenberg(a)inria.fr> (http://tobias.isenberg.cc/) Group: AVIZ team, INRIA Saclay (20km from Paris) (http://www.aviz.fr/)

CfP SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 Workshop

by eurographics＠eg.org

SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 Workshop on Indoor Scene Understanding: Where Graphics meets Vision. December 3, 2014, Shenzhen, China (Paper deadline: August 2, 2014) The best paper will be invited to submit a full journal version of the paper to Computers & Graphics (Elsevier). The proceedings of each workshop will also be included in the ACM Digital Library. ========== Call for Papers: The importance of making computers understand the scene presented to them cannot be understated. The ability to automatically infer the semantics and geometry of any given scene would enable a variety of different applications in the field of Augmented reality, Robotics, Image Processing and Visualization. Understandably, a large amount of research effort has been directed at this problem in the computer vision and machine learning communities, with plenty of motivation and interest in computer graphics. The availability of commodity depth sensors have led to a number of breakthroughs to made in this space. Much of this success can be attributed to the use of computer graphics for generating realistic sensor data. We believe the time is ripe for extending this promising approach to the more challenging problem of full scene understanding. However, to enable this, we need close collaboration between researchers from machine learning, computer vision, and computer graphics. This workshop is intended to bring researchers from these communities together. We are soliciting original contributions which employ shape analysis and image processing for abstracting, representing, and manipulating raw depth scans of indoor environments. Specific topics include, but are not limited, to: - Shape analysis - Scene Classification + RGBD data analysis - Modeling and recognition of scene-object interactions - 3D Spatial Understanding from Images - Physically Grounded Scene Interpretation - Large-scale Data-driven approaches for shape collection analysis - Understanding scenes from depth images and videos - Interaction applications combining raw scenes with virtual objects - Depth Datasets - Computer Vision as Inverse Graphics ========== Important Dates: July 10, 2014: Paper submission deadline: August 20, 2014: Notification of Acceptance September 15, 2014: Camera-ready deadline Please check <http://geometry.cs.ucl.ac.uk/workshops/IndoorSceneUnderstanding_sigga14> http://geometry.cs.ucl.ac.uk/workshops/IndoorSceneUnderstanding_sigga14 for updates. ========== Program committee Gabriel J. Brostow, University College London Peter Gehler, Max Planck Institut Derek Hoiem, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Shi-Min Hu, Tsinghua University Vladimir Kim, Stanford University Ligang Liu, University of Science and Technology of China Daniele Panozzo, ETH Zürich Silvio Savarese, Stanford University Nathan Silberman, New York University Thorsten Thormaehlen, Philipps-Universität Marburg WeiWei Xu, Microsoft Research Asia Michael Wand, Utrecht University ========== Paper Submission: The manuscripts should be submitted as PDF files and should be no more than 8-10 pages in Siggraph paper format. All submissions must be prepared according to the ACM SIGGRAPH publication guidelines. Each paper will be peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based on relevance to the workshop, novelty, and technical quality. In submitting a manuscript to this workshop, the authors acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been submitted to another workshop or conference during the review period. The best paper will be invited to submit a full journal version of the paper to Computers & Graphics (Elsevier). The proceedings of each workshop will also be included in the ACM Digital Library. All workshop research papers must be original, unpublished work, written and presented in English. All submissions must be prepared according to the <http://www.siggraph.org/learn/instructions-authors> ACM SIGGRAPH publication guidelines. At least one author of each accepted workshop paper is to register for SIGGRAPH Asia 2014 (full conference pass) by 15 September 2014, and give a presentation at the workshop.

The proceedings of each workshop will also be included in the ACM Digital Library. ========== Call for Papers: The importance of making computers understand the scene presented to them cannot be understated. The ability to automatically infer the semantics and geometry of any given scene would enable a variety of different applications in the field of Augmented reality, Robotics, Image Processing and Visualization. Understandably, a large amount of research effort has been directed at this problem in the computer vision and machine learning communities, with plenty of motivation and interest in computer graphics. The availability of commodity depth sensors have led to a number of breakthroughs to made in this space. Much of this success can be attributed to the use of computer graphics for generating realistic sensor data. We believe the time is ripe for extending this promising approach to the more challenging problem of full scene understanding. However, to enable this, we need close collaboration between researchers from machine learning, computer vision, and computer graphics. This workshop is intended to bring researchers from these communities together. We are soliciting original contributions which employ shape analysis and image processing for abstracting, representing, and manipulating raw depth scans of indoor environments. Specific topics include, but are not limited, to: - Shape analysis - Scene Classification + RGBD data analysis - Modeling and recognition of scene-object interactions - 3D Spatial Understanding from Images - Physically Grounded Scene Interpretation - Large-scale Data-driven approaches for shape collection analysis - Understanding scenes from depth images and videos - Interaction applications combining raw scenes with virtual objects - Depth Datasets - Computer Vision as Inverse Graphics ========== Important Dates: July 10, 2014: Paper submission deadline: August 20, 2014: Notification of Acceptance September 15, 2014: Camera-ready deadline Please check <http://geometry.cs.ucl.ac.uk/workshops/IndoorSceneUnderstanding_sigga14> http://geometry.cs.ucl.ac.uk/workshops/IndoorSceneUnderstanding_sigga14 for updates. ========== Program committee Gabriel J.

The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage

by eurographics＠eg.org

Addendum to the 5th Call for Papers: - STAR / Exhibitions, Tutorials and Workshop Submission Deadline to June, 30th / July, 2nd - Notification Deadline moved to July, 31 - Updates on registration process and registration fees ============================================================================ ============ 5th C A L L F O R P A P E R S STAR / Tutorials & Exhibition Submission Deadline: June 30th / July 2nd, 2014 The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage October, 6th - 8th 2014, Darmstadt, Germany in cooperation with TU Darmstadt Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt http://diglib.eg.org/GCH2014 Follow us on Twitter: @EGGCH2014 ============================================================================ ============ INVITATION: =========== You are cordially invited to contribute to the 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) which, for the first time, will take place in Darmstadt, Germany. In the past, cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of digitally preserving, managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still many unsolved problems remain. Among the challenges the community faces are fast and economic, high quality, large scale 2D/3D digitization, certification, classification, annotation, visualization, storage and faithful 2D/3D replication of cultural heritage artefacts, the definition of digitization and preservation strategies for museum collections, the definition of standard data formats for digital models, the development of longterm data storage technologies as well as standard legislation for digital model rights. In continuation to last years' workshop series and to overcome the aforementioned challenges, we would like to invite and welcome all relevant stakeholders from cultural heritage institutions, academia, research, industry, economy, policy and law makers to create synergies, participate and contribute to the European Forum for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to the Cultural Heritage domain. Following a long tradition, this event focuses on the integration of digital tools and solutions into the practice of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and Museums. LOCATION: ========= GCH 2014 will take place in Darmstadt, the birth place of the last Empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov. Darmstadt is famous for its 'Jugendstil' (art nouveau) buildings. The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an unmistakable character. Through science, literature, art and architecture, Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much acclaim. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great diversity of science and art, many publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes for ICT, literature, art and music - all of this reflected in Darmstadt's official name as 'City of Science'. TOPICS: ======= The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshops on Graphics and Cultural Heritage aims to foster an international dialogue between the different fields of expertise and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of CH scientists for managing, processing and delivering cultural information to a broader audience. Focus of this year's forum is to present and showcase new developments within the overall process chain, from data acquisition, 3D documentation, analysis and synthesis, semantical modelling, data management, to the point of virtual museums or new forms of interactive presentations and 3D printing solutions. GCH 2014 therefore provides scientists, engineers and CH managers a possibility to discuss new ICT technologies applied to data modelling, reconstruction and processing, digital libraries, virtual museums, interactive environments and applications for CH, ontologies and semantic processing, management and archiving, standards and documentation, as well as its transfer into practice. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and through publications: on-going project results, preliminary ideas and works in progress, and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage. We therefore seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied areas of the digital cultural heritage domain, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. In particular: * 2/3/4D data capturing and processing in Cultural Heritage * Material acquisition and presentation * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Data acquisition technologies * Digital libraries and 3D documents * Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) * Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Visualization and Virtual Museums * 3D printing based on new appearance models * Preservation and digital archiving of artefacts * Metadata, classification schemes, ontologies and semantic processing * Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage * Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving * Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage * On-site and remotely sensed data collections * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Storytelling and design of heritage communications * Standards and documentation * Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications * Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage * New business models and technology transfer into practice GCH 2014 will also include "State-of-the-Art Reports", inspired by the EG STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of GCH. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the STAR reports. Two STAR reports will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings together with the short and project papers. GCH-STAR authors will present their work within a 60 minute presentation during GCH 2014. CONTRIBUTIONS: ============== We are seeking, as of now, contributions by following means: - GCH-STAR reports providing a useful novel overview of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of this workshop series. We expect the STAR submissions as full version being available at submission deadline. - Tutorials and Workshops: the conference will also host half-day and full-day working sessions that provide an opportunity to get in touch with ongoing projects and cutting-edge research in the field of digital technologies for Cultural Heritage. You should download the form available on the web site, fill it in and submit it through the SRM submission system of GCH - Exhibitions: You are invited to submit proposals for installations, applications, digital artworks or technical demos to GCH2014.

The selected Marie Curie ESR will work for 36 months within the ITN-Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH: www.itn-dch.eu) Marie Curie ITN Programme which, is the only EU funded programme bringing together fourteen (14) leading European Institutions as full partners and nine (9) other as associated partners in a transnational network, aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary and intersectorial research and training programme between the academic and the industrial partners. Description: Cultural Heritage (CH) is an integral element of Europe and vital for the creation of a common European identity and one of the greatest assets for steering Europe's social, economic development and job creation. However, the current research training activities in Cultural Heritage are fragmented and mostly design to be of a single-discipline, failing to cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a multi- disciplinary and intersectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH aims for the first time worldwide that top universities, research centers, industries and CH stakeholders, end-users and standardized bodies will collaborate to train the next generation of researchers in DCH. The project aims to analyze, design, research, develop and validate an innovative multi-disciplinary and intersectorial research training framework that covers the whole lifecycle of digital CH research for a cost-effective preservation, documentation, protection and presentation of CH. ITN-DCH targets innovations that covers all aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images, drawings, manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artifacts, archaeological sites, monuments) to intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore, theatrical performances) and their inter-relationships. The project aims to boost the added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments (protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films, music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e-services, (ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv) interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving. One ESR will be recruited by the host organization at the Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt, Germany Position ESR7: One ESR to be recruited by the host organization of the Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt, Germany for the duration of 36 months under full employment contract. The selected candidate's contract can be extended up to 60 months when desired and if performing well. The fellow will perform research along the following lines: We are looking for a motivated early stage researcher to join our group and help us achieve fast and economic mass digitization of 3D cultural heritage artifacts by automation and parallel processing technologies from images or videos. This objective implies the sub-goals of optimizing performance and parallelism, accuracy, robustness and scalability of 3D reconstruction algorithms. The position will be tightly linked with research challenges in the computer vision domain, especially optical flow and feature recognition techniques, as well as development of parallel, multi-core and GPU-based technologies to speed up 3D photogrammetric reconstruction techniques. Drawing from a data pool of highly unstructured videos and still images, one of the challenges will be making the algorithms robust to changes in background, various lighting situations and optical degradation of input data, thus experience in automated data selection and filtering methodologies is vital. The required competence and experience is as follows: Knowledge in the field of computer vision and image processing is recommended, including the tasks of background extraction, robust separation of dynamic and static content, drawing from methods of optical flow and 2D features, as well as feature- and marker-based tracking. 3D reconstruction will be based on photogrammetric approaches, and thus, knowledge and experience in 3D/4D-reconstruction techniques based on videos and images, using Photometric Stereo and Multi-view Stereo, e.g., and other photogrammetric methods is recommended. We also want to process image streams to do 3D reconstruction of dynamic content, so experience in video streaming and stream decomposition into frames is useful. Furthermore, knowledge of parallelization techniques is welcome, such as methodologies for multi-threading, multi-core and multi-GPU computation, as well as out-of-core computation, as handling of large amounts of data. The position will be tightly coupled with active research and practical implementation within a large software framework, which is why we require experience in scientific work and publication. From the implementation side, excellent programming skills in C++ and optional Java, and GLSL or OpenCL, as well as experience with cross-platform build systems such as cmake are an absolute requirement. Since we will be working intensely in a team, excellent proficiency in the English language is mandatory, and knowledge of the German language is encouraged. Professional experience in the industry and/or with previous EU projects is welcome. The ESR is expected to present his/her research results on project meetings, international conferences and in scientific publications and to contribute to patents applications.

VRIPHYS'14 - Work in Progress Session

by eurographics＠eg.org

VRIPHYS'14 - Work in Progress Session In the scope of the VRIPHYS 2014 conference, an oral session with short presentations (typically 15-20 min including questions) will be organized. These presentations should focus on aspects related to Virtual Reality Interaction and Physical Simulation. Work in progress, unpublished or recent results are particularly well suited for this session. The presented work will not be included in the proceedings, so that participants get feedback on their work without preventing them from submitting their work later. This workshop is therefore well suited for Ph.D. candidates. To present your work during these sessions, please send us an abstract (2 pages max.) at: <mailto:vriphys14@cs.uni-bremen.de> vriphys14(a)cs.uni-bremen.de by the 30th of August 2014.
