Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2014 (3DOR'14)

by eurographics＠eg.org

----------------------------------------------------------- Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2014 (3DOR'14) ----------------------------------------------------------- A co-event of Eurographics 2014 April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg, France http://3dor2014.ensea.fr/ # Important dates December 15, 2013: Paper submissions due February 14, 2014: Notification of acceptance February 21, 2014: Camera-ready papers April 6, 2014: Workshop takes place # 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series 3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular biology and medicine. Indeed, the rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular the availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, the problem of creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing 3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories. 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 the common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the field. This will provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2014 will be the seventh workshop in this series and will take place on April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg (France), one day before Eurographics 2014. # Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system presentations. Further information about paper format and submission will be available on the workshop website soon. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object similarity and matching - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval - Partial 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 - Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in Multimedia, CAD, and Games industry - Applications in Biometrics, e-Science, e-Learning, Medicine, Biology, and Cultural Heritage - Multimedia Information Retrieval This year's workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC'2014). A separate call for participation will be issued. 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. # Organization Workshop Chairs Jean-Philippe Vandeborre, Télécom Lille / LIFL, France Hedi Tabia, ENSEA-ETIS, France Programme Chairs Remco Veltkamp, Utrecht University, NL Benjamin Bustos, University of Chile, Chile Programme Committee Ceyhun B.

The Technical University of Munich currently has a new research focus on computer games and digital effects. A particular emphasis lies on the efficient simulation of complex materials, such as deformable bodies, fracture and fluid effects. It is an area that has found wide spread use in the movie industry, but many challenges remain to employ these techniques in games, and to use increase usability of the simulations. While the program will focus on fundamental research topics, industry relevance is likewise a strong focus. Especially the area of computer games so far is a challenging field for expensive simulations due to the strict time and resource constraints. The goal of this program is to push the boundaries of complex physics simulations for interactive applications. Research areas include, but are not limited to, data-driven algorithms and machine-learning approaches, efficient parallel solvers, accurate discretizations and procedural modeling of physical phenomena. If you are interested in applying, you should have a strong background in numerical algorithms, have experience implementing C/C++ algorithms, and you should be excited to work on state-of-the-art research in the CG area. Good English skills are also a plus. For the post-doctoral position, you should have a strong publication record in computer graphics, or a related discipline such as computer vision, applied physics or numerical math. This is a full time position, with payment and benefits according the German public service employment levels (TV-L E13, 100%). To apply, please send your CV to the address below.

Two Postdoctoral Position at University of Bath

by eurographics＠eg.org

================================================================ Two Postdoctoral Position at University of Bath: the ACQUISITION of URBAN ASSETS and TOTAL SCENE MODELLING. Salary: Starting from £30,424, rising to £36,298 Duration of contract: 3 years. Closing date: 25th November, or until appointment, whichever is sooner. ---------------------------------------------------------------- OAK: Outdoor Asset Capture. The University of Bath and University College London are engaged in joint research designed to address core Computer Science issues raised by the needs of the creative industries -- the film, games, and broadcast sectors in particular. Six internationally known industrial leaders are involved through an advisory panel. The purpose of the OAK project is to enable these industries to easily use images and video to acquire models of outdoor objects and locations, in urban, semi-urban, and natural environments. These models must be editable and controllable by creative users. We plan to acquire assets at a range of scales from a few millimetres through the kilometres, from bark to trees to forests. There are now two post-doctoral vacancies open in relation to this work. One of these positions deals with ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF URBAN ASSETS such as buildings and street furniture. The key here is to acquire such models from images and video such that new instances, not in the source images, can be created. The other is TOTAL SCENE MODELLING, that is using procedural methods to build new large scale scenes populated with outdoor dynamic assets at all scales. This will require developing new ways for artists to generate and control data-driven models acquired from all of OAK. Successful candidates will join a strong team already engaged in the OAK project. They must be able to demonstrate an excellent publication record at least one of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning. They will be able to work both alone and as part of a multi-site team. They will be able to engage with researchers in relevant industries via our industrial advisory panel. Candidates are encourage to contact us before applying. Those interested in ACQUISITION, MODELLING AND EDITING OF URBAN ASSETS are directed towards Dr Darren Cosker (dpc(a)cs.bath.ac.uk). Those interested in TOTAL SCENE MODELLING are directed towards Prof. Phil Willis (pjw(a)cs.bath.ac.uk) or Prof. Brian Wyvill (b.wyvill(a)bath.ac.uk). The OAK project is led by Dr Peter Hall, who will answer questions on either vacancy and the project as a whole (pmh(a)cs.bath.ac.uk). Formal applications must be made through Bath official website. Apply for TOTAL SCENE MODELLING: www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=VH1753R Apply for ACQUISITION of URBAN ASSETS: www.bath.ac.uk/jobs/Vacancy.aspx?ref=VH1750R Closing date: 25th November, or until appointment, whichever is sooner.

EG 2014: Call for STARs

by eurographics＠eg.org

** New ** This year, Morgan & Claypools, in agreement with EUROGRAPHICS, offers the authors of selected STARS to consider the possibility of turning the STAR into a book in the series. Note that this is independent from the possibility to submit a journal version to CGF, and that both are possible options. ** The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is October 6, 2013 ** State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) that provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics will be included in the EUROGRAPHICS 2014 conference program. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS. This year we would like to encourage submissions in the following areas: Rendering from large data (point clouds, compression, large environments), machine learning for shape analysis and synthesis, fabrication technologies, sketching and hand drawing, sampling and filtering for rendering. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library ( <https://diglib.eg.org/> https://diglib.eg.org/ ). At EUROGRAPHICS 2014, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow this presentation. The conference registration fee will be waived for one author per accepted STAR. After the conference a selection of the best STARs will be referred to Computer Graphics Forum. Acceptance of the revised, enhanced version of the original STAR will depend on the outcome of a second review cycle. For any question concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs by e-mail (see below). *Submission Details* A STAR proposal should be, in essence, a short version of the planned STAR. The proposal will start by outlining the topic, its relevance to EUROGRAPHICS as well as the target audience and its expected background. The proposal has to include the planned table of contents of the final STAR with brief summaries of each section, as well as the complete set of literature references. We encourage submitters to include results of experiments or comparisons. Brief biographies of the authors should be included, demonstrating their qualification to produce the proposed STAR. Such a proposal should be at most 6 pages in length (not counting references). Each proposal will be reviewed by two experts in the field selected by the STAR co-chairs. STAR proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the STARs co-chairs. Authors should expect to receive a confirmation of receipt of their proposal and should request confirmation if one is not received within a day or two. Some problems may arise with large e-mailed attachments (over 3MB in size). Therefore we advise to e-mail a link to a location from which the larger document can be downloaded. The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is October 6, 2013, with notification of acceptance on December 4, 2013. The full length version of accepted STARs will have to be submitted at a later date for a second short review (due date to be announced shortly). If the authors have already prepared a longer version of their intended STAR, they may contact the STARs co-chairs ahead of the submission deadline to check for the opportunity of submitting a longer STAR proposal (in principle, this is appreciated). *STARs Co-Chairs* Michela Spagnuolo - <mailto:michela.spagnuolo@ge.imati.cnr.it> michela.spagnuolo(a)ge.imati.cnr.it Sylvain Lefebvre - <mailto:sylvain.lefebvre@inria.fr> sylvain.lefebvre(a)inria.fr

State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) that provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest related to Computer Graphics will be included in the EUROGRAPHICS 2014 conference program. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS. This year we would like to encourage submissions in the following areas: Rendering from large data (point clouds, compression, large environments), machine learning for shape analysis and synthesis, fabrication technologies, sketching and hand drawing, sampling and filtering for rendering. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library ( <https://diglib.eg.org/> https://diglib.eg.org/ ). At EUROGRAPHICS 2014, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow this presentation. The conference registration fee will be waived for one author per accepted STAR. After the conference a selection of the best STARs will be referred to Computer Graphics Forum. Acceptance of the revised, enhanced version of the original STAR will depend on the outcome of a second review cycle. For any question concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs by e-mail (see below). *Submission Details* A STAR proposal should be, in essence, a short version of the planned STAR. The proposal will start by outlining the topic, its relevance to EUROGRAPHICS as well as the target audience and its expected background. The proposal has to include the planned table of contents of the final STAR with brief summaries of each section, as well as the complete set of literature references. We encourage submitters to include results of experiments or comparisons. Brief biographies of the authors should be included, demonstrating their qualification to produce the proposed STAR. Such a proposal should be at most 6 pages in length (not counting references). Each proposal will be reviewed by two experts in the field selected by the STAR co-chairs. STAR proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the STARs co-chairs. Authors should expect to receive a confirmation of receipt of their proposal and should request confirmation if one is not received within a day or two. Some problems may arise with large e-mailed attachments (over 3MB in size). Therefore we advise to e-mail a link to a location from which the larger document can be downloaded. The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is October 6, 2013, with notification of acceptance on December 4, 2013. The full length version of accepted STARs will have to be submitted at a later date for a second short review (due date to be announced shortly). If the authors have already prepared a longer version of their intended STAR, they may contact the STARs co-chairs ahead of the submission deadline to check for the opportunity of submitting a longer STAR proposal (in principle, this is appreciated). *STARs Co-Chairs* Michela Spagnuolo - <mailto:michela.spagnuolo@ge.imati.cnr.it> michela.spagnuolo(a)ge.imati.cnr.it Sylvain Lefebvre - <mailto:sylvain.lefebvre@inria.fr> sylvain.lefebvre(a)inria.fr

We would like to let you know that we have extended the deadline for poster submissions to Friday, September 13, 2013. The reviewer's feedback will be sent on September 20, 2013. Best regards, Jan Ondrej MIG 2013 Poster Chair =================================================================== CALL FOR POSTERS The 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Conference on Motion in Games 2013 (MIG) November 7-9, 2013, Dublin, Ireland Submission Deadline: September 13, 2013 Notification: September 20, 2012 http://www.scss.tcd.ie/conferences/MIG2013/ ==================================================================== The Sixth International Conference on Motion in Games (MIG) will be hosted in the historic city of Dublin, Ireland from November 7-9, 2013. MIG 2013 will be held in cooperation with Eurographics and, for the first time this year, it will be sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. Games have become a very important medium for education, therapy and entertainment. Motion plays a crucial role in computer games. Characters move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints, entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the motion of the player is used as input to games. Motion is currently studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these communities can considerably advance the state-of- the-art in the area. The goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from this variety of fields to present their most recent results, to initiate collaborations, and to contribute to the establishment of the research area. The conference will consist of regular paper sessions, poster presentations, as well as presentations by a selection of established researchers in areas related to games and simulation. The conference program will also include cultural and social events that foster casual and friendly interactions among the participants. We invite submissions of poster abstracts to the MIG poster session. Two types of work can be submitted for poster presentation: 1. Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This work and the venue in which it was published should be identified in the abstract. 2. Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a short or long paper. Poster abstract submissions should be no more than one page in length and should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. Poster abstract should be submitted using the MIG online submission system. Accepted posters are not formal publications and will not appear in the official MIG proceedings but will appear in an online database for distribution at author's discretion. The relevant topics include (but are not limited to): Animation Systems Animation Algorithms and Techniques Character Animation Behavioral Animation Facial Animation Particle Systems Simulation of Natural Environments Natural Motion Simulation Virtual Humans Physics-based Motion Crowd Simulation Path Planning Navigation and Way-finding Flocking and Steering Behavior Camera Motion Object Manipulation Motion Capture Techniques Motion Analysis and Synthesis Gesture Recognition MIG online submission system: https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2013 ACM SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines. http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip
