Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2011: Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2011 A co-event of Eurographics 2011 April 10, 2011 http://www.global-edge.titech.ac.jp/3dor2011 # 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. 3DOR 2011 will take place as the fourth workshop in this series on April 10, 2011 in Llandudno (UK), on the day before Eurographics 2011. # Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval.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 year's workshop will also feature the 6th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC'2011). 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 a special issue of The Visual Computer Journal published by Springer. # Important dates December 1, 2010: Submissions due January 20, 2011: Notification of acceptance February 1, 2011: Camera-ready papers April 10, 2011: Workshop takes place # Organization Chairs Hamid Laga (Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan) Tobias Schreck (Technische Universitaet Darmstadt, Germany) Programme Chairs Alfredo Ferreira (IST/Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal) Afzal Godil (National Institute of the Standards and Technology, USA) Ioannis Pratikakis (Democritus University of Thrace, Greece) Program Committee Ceyhun Burak Akgul (Vistek-ISRA Vision, Turkey) Filipos Azariadis (University of the Aegean, Greece) Benjamin Bustos (University of Chile, Chile) Mohamed Daoudi (TELECOM Lille1/LIFL, France) Dieter W.

2nd CFP: ACM/SSPNET Symposium on Facial Analysis and Animation (FAA) '10

by Darren Cosker

*** Apologies for cross postings *** 2nd CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ACM/SSPNET 2nd INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON FACIAL ANALYSIS AND ANIMATION (FAA) http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa/ School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, UK. October 21st, 2010 Important Dates: 10th September 2010: Deadline for extended abstract submission 17th September 2010: Notification of acceptance Confirmed Keynotes: Catherine Pelachaud, Telecom ParisTech Bernd Bickel, Disney Research Zurich Facial animation is a broad and exciting area of research drawing on multiple disciplines: computer graphics and animation provide the means to render and display a face, computer vision can be used to measure, interpret and decode facial actions, while psychology can help provide the emotive human element of animation. However, creating convincing facial animation is an exceptionally difficult task – each one of us is an expert judge in deciding whether an animation is realistic or not. In today’s world, facial animation has more applications than ever before: from video game characters to movie actor doubles, from machine facial displays to psychological research stimuli. Following on from the success of FAA 2009 (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa2009/ ), we are pleased to announce a call for submissions for FAA 2010, in cooperation with ACM and sponsored by SSPNET. The aim of this meeting is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry – particularly in VFX and games - interested in all aspects of facial animation and related analysis. Submissions are invited in the following broad topic areas: • Acquisition of Facial Shape, Motion and Texture • Performance Driven Animation and Expression Mapping • Facial animation using Example Based Synthesis and Motion Graph based techniques • Facial Animation Production Pipelines • Visual Speech Synthesis • Animation of Non-Linguistic Behaviors and Vocalisations • Perception of Facial Animation and the "Uncanny Valley" • Facial Rendering (Photorealistic and Non-Photorealistic) Research should be submitted as a 1 page extended abstract using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (see http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions) . LaTeX and BibTeX class files following the “acmsiggraph” convention may be downloaded from (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip ). An example submission may be found at (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/poster-abstract-example1.pdf ). Submissions do not need to be anonymous. Contributions should submitted via the following website: https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/FAA2010 by 10th September, 2010. Authors of accepted submissions will have their work appear in the ACM Digital Library (http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm). The program on the day will consist of both oral and poster presentations, including invited keynote talks from leading international experts. Chairs: Darren Cosker (Uni. of Bath), Gregor Hofer (Uni. of Edinburgh), Michael Berger (Uni. of Edinburgh) and Will Smith (Uni. of York). For general inquiries regarding FAA, including contact information for the organisers, please visit: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa/contact.html

High-Performance Graphics: Early Registration Open!

by Stefanie Behnke

High-Performance Graphics 2010 Algorithms, Hardware, Systems ***EARLY REGISTRATION NOW OPEN*** Announcement Registration is now open for High-Performance Graphics 2010. Come join us for a strong set of technical papers, keynote talks by Turner Whitted (Microsoft Research) and Cevat Yerli & Anton Kaplanyan (Crytek), a reinvigorated poster session and the always exciting Hot 3D systems track. See the end of this message for a complete paper list and abstract of the keynote talks. Early registration runs through June 8th and online registration is open until June 22nd. There are discounts for ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics members as well as for full-time students. The reduced rate for early registration expires in just over a week, so reserve your spot today! Visit <http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/> http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/ for full details of registration and for travel and accommodation information. This year we are co-located with Eurographics Rendering Symposium. Please consider taking full advantage of your travel costs by attending both conferences. Introduction We are pleased to announce High-Performance Graphics 2010. This conference continues last year's success at synthesizing two important and cutting-edge topics in computer graphics: * Graphics Hardware, represented since 1986 by an annual conference of that name focusing on graphics hardware, architecture, and systems since 1986. * Interactive Ray Tracing, represented since 2006 in an innovative symposium focusing on the emerging field of interactive ray tracing and global illumination techniques. By combining these two communities, we bring to authors and attendees the best of both, while extending the scope of the conference to cover the overarching field of performance-oriented graphics systems covering innovative algorithms, efficient implementations, and hardware architecture. This broader focus offers a common forum bringing together researchers, engineers, and architects to discuss the complex interactions of massively parallel hardware, novel programming models, efficient graphics algorithms, and innovative applications. Conference Info Corporate sponsorship by AMD and Intel Additional corporate sponsorship by Microsoft Research and NVIDIA Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics The program features three days of paper and industry presentations, with ample time for discussions during breaks, lunches, and the conference banquet. The conference, which will take place on June 25-27, is co-located with Eurographics Rendering Symposium on the campus of the Max-Planck Institut Informatik, Saarland University, Saarbrucken, Germany. The conference website is located at <http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/> http://www.highperformancegraphics.org/ Keynote Talks Turner Whitted, Microsoft Research * Title: Disaggregated Graphics: Rich Clients for Clouds * Abstract: We sometimes forget that the famous "wheel of reincarnation" translates as it rotates, transporting us to unfamiliar technological territory even if we recognize historical similarities. So it is with the emergence of cloud computing with its concentrated computation and wide bandwidth interconnection. It is not, however, a return to the mainframe computer centers of the 1960s or the client/ server model of the 1980s. Instead we are offered more computation, more pixels, more modes of interaction, .... more of everything. We are given so much more that the change of experience is qualitative, not merely quantitative. Microsoft Research's vX project is an experiment devised to explore the client side of this new computing environment. Radically rich visual computing calls for radically new architectures, programming models, and approaches to interaction. We are re-examining these venues simultaneously rather than independently. At the highest level, the vX model insists on interaction being local even if it is shared among a heterogeneous collection of devices. At a lower level, the vX programming model emphasizes local memory access within each of many processing cores. This philosophy extends to the lowest level of the graphics engine with memory intensive passive representations being replaced with processor intensive functional representations. As we progress with this project we find our alignment with technological trends for processing and interconnection takes us far from conventional graphics practice. This should be no surprise. It is time for change. Cevat Yerli & Anton Kaplanyan, Crytek * Title: Crytek's Future Game Graphics * Abstract: We want to share our ten-year expertise of making a generalized and balanced real-time rendering pipeline on consoles. Different algorithms for image synthesis will be discussed as well as different architectures for different workloads. The problems of the current rendering pipeline and the current generation of consoles will be discussed. Also we will talk about the new possible applications for real-time graphics such as movies industry and server-side rendering.

Complex scenes still provide challenges, mostly because modeling all those irregularities that make a scene look natural is so tedious. Images with increased perceived realism can be created by scanning the existing reality: with texture maps, material properties, illumination, object geometry, animation paths --- and reorganizing the data to new images. Maybe it is time to raise the bar of quality of photorealistic imaging. We still have difficulties in capturing a real scene as we experience it with our own eyes, due to limitations of physical cameras, especially using consumer-level equipment outside of a laboratory. In this talk we discuss interactive mobile computational photography. We present several research projects done at Nokia that capture the images on a camera phone, process them right after the capture, and allows the users to even edit them and make an informed decision whether more data is needed for the perfect picture. We also discuss some fundamental tools for handheld computational photography, and give an overview of a new camera control API that makes implementation of such applications so much easier. George Drettakis Title: Twenty years of Rendering Research: past, present and future Abstract In this talk we will start with a retrospective of some key research results developed by our group and others, which were presented at the Eurographics workshops and symposia on Rendering in the last 20 years. These will cover topics such as global illumination (radiosity, Monte Carlo and even PRT), point-based techniques, interactive/GPU rendering and texture synthesis. We will then discuss four challenges we consider important for current and future rendering research. First, the development of theoretical foundations for recent interactive and real-time algorithms. Second, the development of more powerful image-based rendering solutions, building on the wealth of previous simulation-based rendering research results. Third, further integration of perceptual studies in core rendering research. Last but not least, the expansion of rendering into the domain of user interaction research, which we believe is an important and unlimited source of important research challenges for the future. We will illustrate each challenge with examples of recent or current research we have developed, and our thoughts on future directions. ------------------------------------- Registration Fees Early Bird (before June 8th, 2010) Non-Member 450 Euro Student Non-Member 315 Euro EG-Members / ACM-Members 350 Euro Student EG-Members / Student ACM-Members 270 Euro Regular Prices (after June 8th, 2010) Non-Member 500 Euro Student Non-Member 365 Euro EG-Members / ACM-Members 400 Euro Student EG-Members / Student ACM-Members 300 Euro ----------------------------------------
