PhD studentship in Computer Graphics at MMU

by Stefanie Behnke

PhD studentship in Computer Graphics at MMU Applications are invited for a 3 year University funded Ph.D. project hosted in the School of Computing, Mathematics and Digital Technology at Manchester Metropolitan University. This interdisciplinary project will expand on recent advances made at MMU and the Institute for Reproductive Medicine at the University of Warwick in microscopic embryological data processing and visualization. The aim of the current research is to develop a more detailed understanding of the molecular basis of the changing 3D organization of developing. The student will develop methods for semi-automatic segmentation targeted at 3D microscopic embryological datasets, with implementation and testing on real pre-existing datasets. Based on the segmentation results, the student will then create physically based 3D models of embryo shapes and inner structures. The segmentation and visualization of the number, shape and size of blastomeres and nuclei will provide valuable information about the potential viability of the embryo, and will assist embryologists to understand the mechanisms of developmental failure. The student will need to combine skills and interests in computer vision, GPUs and real-time processing; C/C++ and MATLAB based implementation and physically based modeling. The student should have a good degree in Computer Science or a suitable other hard science or engineering subject. Preference will be given to students with appropriate M.Sc. or equivalent research experience. The student will receive EU fees and a stipend of £12,000 per annum. The studentship should be taken up not later than 01/July/12. The Image and Sensory Computation research group is a lively research environment, which currently has 5 academics and 6 other researchers working on a variety of projects concerning human imaging.

EuroVis 2012 - Call for Short Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

/// EuroVis 2012 - Call for Short Papers /// <http://www.eurovis.org/> http://www.eurovis.org/ For the first time, EuroVis 2012 features a short paper track. The purpose of this new track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citeable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be 4 pages (at most), excluding references, and 5 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference. EuroVis 2012 will be held in Vienna, Austria, June 5-8, 2012. Please note that we encourage authors of short papers on visual analytics to submit to the EuroVA workshop. Important Dates: *Short Papers Submission Deadline*: March 2, 2012 Acceptance Notification: April 11, 2012 Camera-ready Deadline: April 25, 2012 Conference Dates: June 5-8, 2012 A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant -- scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers: * A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation). * An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation. * An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system. * A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand limitations. * A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation). * A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology). All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book. Further details about paper types and suggested topics can be found at: <http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/eurovis2012/submission/paper-types/> http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/eurovis2012/submission/paper-types/ <http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/eurovis2012/calls/call-for-papers/> http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/eurovis2012/calls/call-for-papers/ Short Paper Co-Chairs: Miriah Meyer, University of Utah, USA Tino Weinkauf, Max Planck Institute Informatik, Germany Further information: <http://www.eurovis.org/> http://www.eurovis.org/ EuroVis 2012 is also on Facebook

Please note that a Eurographics Poster is also a great way to get early community feedback for work that might not yet have made it to the full or short papers programs. **** EUROGRAPHICS 2012: Call for posters -- EXTENDED DEADLINE **** 33rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics May 13th to 18th, 2012 Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy http://www.eurographics2012.it Conference Chairs (co-chairs-eg2012(a)crs4.it) Enrico Gobbetti, CRS4, Italy Riccardo Scateni, University of Cagliari, Italy Eurographics 2012, the 33rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics, will take place from May 13 to May 18 in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. It will be organized by CRS4 Visual Computing and University of Cagliari. Eurographics 2012 will provide a unique platform for the computer graphics community to showcase latest techniques and educational work, and to explore new trends and ideas. *** Posters program Authors are invited to submit proposals for poster presentations of recent results, work in progress, new ideas and other smaller projects which may be of interest to the general community but which are still too speculative, too incomplete or not of sufficient extent to warrant a full paper. Accepted posters will be published in a Posters Proceedings of the conference and will be included in the digital media. Posters will also be displayed during the conference and will form the focus of a posters session to be run in conjunction with one of the social events. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, and imaging.

Call for Papers - NPAR 2012 - Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering

by Paul Asente

NPAR 2012 — Call For Papers Submission deadline March 14, 2012 We invite you to submit your work to NPAR 2012, the 10th international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and in cooperation with Eurographics. Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) refers to computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually generate imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. NPAR 2012 is part of Expressive 2012, a joint symposium that combines NPAR with Computational Aesthetics (CAe) and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). It will be co-located with the Annecy Film Festival and will take place in Annecy, France, June 4-6, 2012. A single registration for Expressive 2012 will include all three symposia. The Expressive 2012 web site can be found at http://cae-sbim-npar-2012.inrialpes.fr/. Because accommodations during the Annecy Film Festival are at a premium, we strongly urge those submitting work to reserve a room through the festival web site at the time of submission, and then cancel their reservations should they decide not to attend. We invite researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers and posters on their work. Submitted papers should be self-classified into one of the following three categories: • Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional NPAR papers) These must contain novel results that make a substantitive contribution to the field. • Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). • Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results. Topic areas of the conference include but are not limited to: • Expressive character animation and physics • Abstraction and stylization of images/video • Interaction techniques • Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films) • NPAR in real software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) • Visual composition • Hardware acceleration • Evaluation methods for NPAR algorithms • Psychophysics of NPAR • Rendering and layout for text and presentation graphics • Quantitative analysis of human artists • Generative or evolutionary approaches • Style transfer • Temporal and spatial coherence • Adapting classic CG effects like motion blur, depth of field, and lighting for NPAR • Simulation of natural media and traditional styles • Non-traditional camera models • Position papers on grand challenges There is no absolute maximum length for paper submissions; please use the Siggraph length guidelines, found here: http://s2012.siggraph.org/submitters/technical-papers/publication-requireme…. In particular, note that papers longer than 8-10 pages must make a very significant contribution to be accepted. Papers should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH-sponsored conference formatting instructions (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions), including a title page with an abstract and keywords, and a bibliography. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Research papers are reviewed double-blind and so must be anonymous when submitted. Meta and Production papers are reviewed single-blind and the author’s reputation and institution are a factor that reviewers may consider. Information on the submission process will be available on our website. The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special section in Elsevier’s “Computers and Graphics” journal with a fast-track review process. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM SIGGRAPH and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Posters will not be archived. Posters may be submitted in PDF format as either an extended abstract or as a draft of the poster itself. Rejected papers may be considered for the poster track. Note that although the NPAR, SBIM and CAe symposia are held jointly, the paper submission and review processes are independent. Important Dates Papers submission deadline: March 14, 2012 Short track for SIGGRAPH rejected papers, with reviews: April 3, 2012 Accommodation Reservation: April 3, 2012 Acceptance notification: April 23, 2012 Papers Camera-ready deadline: May 1, 2012 Poster submission deadline: May 7, 2012 Conference: June 4-6, 2012 All deadlines are at 17:00 (5pm) Pacific Daylight Savings Time.

CfP EG 3DOR2012: Extension of submission deadline until January 26th

by Stefanie Behnke

[Apologies if you receive multiple copies] *** Extension of submission deadline until January 26th *** Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2012 A co-event of Eurographics 2012 May 13, 2012 <http://eg3dor2012.ist.utl.pt/> # Important dates Jan 26, 2012: Paper Submission (extended) Feb 16, 2012: Notification of acceptance Feb 27, 2012: Camera-ready papers May 13, 2012: 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 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. The 5th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2012) is a co-event of the 33rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2012). The workshop will take place on May 13, 2012 in Cagliari, Italy. # 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 form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system presentations. 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, 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 - Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in multimedia, CAD, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. This years workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC2012). A separate call for participation will be issued later on. Extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop will appear, after a further review, in special issues of international journals. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal and the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV) published by Springer. # Organization Chairs Michela Spagnuolo (IMATI-CNR, Italy) Michael Bronstein (Universitá della Svizzera Italiana, Switzerland) Programme Chairs Alexander Bronstein (Tel-Aviv University, Israel) Alfredo Ferreira (Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal) Program Committee Afzal Godil (National Institute of the Standards and Technology, USA) Alberto Del Bimbo (University of Florence, Italy) Atilla Baskurt (INSA Lyon, France) Benjamin Bustos (University of Chile, Chile) Bianca Falcidieno (IMATI-CNR, Italy) Daniel Cohen-Or (Tel Aviv University, Israel) Daniela Giorgi (IMATI-CNR, Italy) Dietmar Saupe (University of Konstanz, Germany) Frank Ter Haar (Utrecht University, The Netherlands) Georgios Papaioannou (AUEB, Greece) Hamid Laga (Institut Telecom / Telecom Lille1, France) Ioannis Pratikakis (IIT / NCSR Demokritos, Greece ) Kai Hormann (University of Lugano, Switzerland) Karthik Ramani (Purdue University, USA) Maks Ovsjanikov (Stanford University / Google Inc., USA) Marcos Rodrigues (University of Sheffield, UK) Martin Reuter Mohamed Daoudi (TELECOM Lille1 / LIFL, France) Nicholas Patrikalakis (MIT, USA) Nikolaos Sapidis (University of Western Macedonia) Niloy Mitra (University College of London, UK) Petros Daras (Informatics and Telematics Institute, Greece) Raif M.
