Call for Participation Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07) http://www.eg.org/sbm In cooperation with AAAI With support from Microsoft Research University of California Riverside, CA, USA Thursday August 2 - Friday August 3, 2007 Hands-on Tablet PC workshop: Saturday August 4 Registration is now open for the fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07). Please register through the workshop web site: http://www.eg.org/sbm. Program and travel information can also be found on this site. Aims and Scope ----------------- Most computer user interfaces continue to be based on the keyboard and mouse. These are good for typing and pointing, but they lack the naturalness, transparency, and ease-of-use of basic low-tech pencil and paper. Modern pen computing hardware--in principle--enables fluid drawing, sketching, and direct manipulation of both text and graphics. To realize this potential requires effective user interface designs and underlying algorithms to support them. This workshop will explore techniques and technologies needed to enable sketch-based interfaces. The foci will be on methods for recognition of hand-drawn shapes and interpretation of diagrams and sketches, and on applications of sketch-based interfaces to a variety of domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and note-taking. Empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other interaction techniques are also welcome. The workshop is being held in cooperation with Eurographics and AAAI and sponsored in part by Microsoft Research, hence results and insights will be shared by researchers from around the globe. The workshop dates of August 2-4 are just prior to SIGGRAPH. The workshop location is Riverside, California, 1.5 hours by car from the SIGGRAPH venue in San Diego. The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track), a breakout session, coffee breaks, a conference dinner, and invited talks. There will be a demo session in which participants have an opportunity to try out state of the art pen-based computing demos. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. Sincerely, Workshop Chairs Thomas Stahovich, University of California, Riverside, CA (stahov(a)engr.ucr.edu) Christine Alvarado, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA (alvarado(a)cs.hmc.edu) Program Chairs Michiel van de Panne, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC (van(a)cs.ubc.ca) Eric Saund, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Palo Alto, CA (saund(a)parc.com) EG SBIM Working Group Chair Joaquim Jorge, Technical University of Lisboa, Portugal (jaj(a)rtr.inesc-id.pt)

3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007: Call for Participation

by Stefanie Behnke

3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM and REGISTRATION online at: http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Venue: September 4, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************** INVITED SPEAKER --------------- JERRY TESSENDORF Principal Graphics Scientist, Rhythm and Hues Studios, USA Talk Title: "PHENOMENAL FILM EFFECTS" ABSTRACT Visual effects in films today can be highly realistic computer graphic imagery of natural environments and physical phenomena. Produced with a very big palette of software tools, the algorithmic routes to these images are sometimes based on the underlying physical phenomenology, and sometimes not. In this talk we consider several effects-heavy scenes in recent films, looking in detail at the computer graphics software and algorithms used and what physical and unphysical notions motivated the choices made. SHORT BIOGRAPHY Jerry Tessendorf is Principal Graphics Scientist at Rhythm and Hues Studios, where he builds new graphics tools for visual effects. The list of films he has contributed fx software to includes Titanic, The 13th Warrior, Red Planet, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, SuperMan Returns, and Happy Feet.Prior to working in visual effects, he was a Corporate Senior Scientist at the research company Arete Associates. Dr. Tessendorf has a PhD in theoretical physics from Brown University, and his research includes techniques in dynamical simulation, ocean optics, and volume rendering. WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE ----------------------- Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. WORKSHOP FORMAT --------------- The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007 Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic) to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events. The workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. ORGANISING COMMITTEE -------------------- Workshop Chairs * Eric Galin (FR) * Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Chairs * David Ebert (US) * Stéphane Mérillou (FR) ************************************************************** For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr. **************************************************************

VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2007 (VMV2007): CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

* CALL FOR PAPERS * 12th Fall Workshop VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2007 (VMV2007) http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/vmv2007 November 7-9, 2007 Saarbrücken, Germany Vision, modeling, and visualization are rapidly converging disciplines. Often the three fields are treated separately, each with their own methodology, terminology, and formalism. However, in many applications they must work hand in hand - evoking cross-fertilization and new research directions. Prominent examples are image and video-based rendering, 3D-TV, and medical visualization. Also, due to the proliferation of digital photography and high-speed graphics accelerators, image-based modeling and the corresponding vision and visualization techniques have become a research topic of highest relevance. The "Vision, Modeling, and Visualization 2007" workshop addresses the entire spectrum of techniques and applications in this combined field: from data acquisition over processing to visualization, including perceptional issues. This workshop is the twelfth in a series of annual meetings organized by different research centers and groups. After highly successful meetings at various locations, this year's event will take place in Saarbrücken. The program will consist of contributed papers and poster presentations, as well as invited talks by internationally renowned speakers. Topics: * Animation * Computational Photography * Geometric Modeling * Hardware-accelerated Image Processing and Rendering * HDR Imaging * Human Perception and Error Measures * Illumination and Reflectance Modeling * Image and Video-based Rendering * Large-scale Acquisition, Processing, and Visualization * Medical Image Processing and Visualization * Motion and Tracking * Multi-view Image Processing and Coding * Multi-sensor Fusion * Object Localization and Recognition * Realistic Rendering * Shape Deformation * Shape Representation * Segmentation and Grouping * Statistical Methods and Learning * Structure from Motion and Stereo * Texture Analysis and Synthesis * Uncertainty Visualization * Virtual and Augmented Reality * Visualization of Time-varying and Multivariate Data * Volume, Flow, Vector, and Tensor Visualization * Volumetric Imaging * Applications Paper Submission: Prospective attendees are invited to submit a paper of up to 10 pages with color images in the conference style. All submissions will be double-blind reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and appear in the proceedings. Authors should obtain the author's package (including LaTeX style-file) from the conference web page (http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/vmv2007). The author's package provides complete information concerning the submission process. All communication will be electronic and questions should be addressed to vmv2007(a)mpi-inf.mpg.de.

Eurographics Launches the Eurographics 2007 Game Physics Innovation Competition

by Stefanie Behnke

Eurographics Launches the Eurographics 2007 Game Physics Innovation Competition =============================================================================== Following in the footsteps of the successful Eurographics 2006 Graphics meets Games competition, Eurographics is delighted to announce the Eurographics 2007 Game Physics Innovation competition which aims to showcase innovation in the use of physics technology in games. Physics has always played an integral part in the development of computer games, since the very earliest games like Space War which featured gravitational wells and inertial movement. More recently physics in games has become mainstream, with many commercial offerings from companies now pushing the boundaries of what is possible in top games. This competition aims to focus on what is next; what new physics techniques might be employed in future games, can physics help redefine the interface with the user or can entirely new game-play paradigms emerge when full physics simulations are employed? The competition, organised by Dr. Steven Collins (founder of Havok and Graphics Research Group manager, Trinity College Dublin) and Ladislav Kavan (Czech Technical University in Prague) which forms part of the Game Track in the forth-coming Eurographics Conference in Prague, September 3-7, 2007, aims to inspire a sharing of ideas and discoveries relating to physics innovation, and through the generous sponsorship of Sony Computer Entertainment US R&D, is offering prizes totalling over EUR 2000 to the winning entries: * Overall Prize: EUR 1,500 - awarded to the entry that in the judges opinion exhibited the best combination of innovation and technical achievement * Collada Prize: EUR 500 - awarded to the entry that makes the best use of the Collada standard. For full details regarding the competition go to http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/eg07/gpic. The competition closing date is August 24th 2007 with the winners being announced during the Game Track of the Eurographics Conference in September. Winning entries will be displayed in the Intel sponsored Game Physics Lobby on the very latest Intel® CoreT 2 Quad processor based systems, and will be available to be played by conference attendees. The Game Track will also feature keynote presentations from game industry leaders.

Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena: Deadline Extension

by Stefanie Behnke

Second Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena Prague, Czech Republic, September 4, 2007 http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07/index.php?page=home >>> Paper submission deadline extended to May 25, 2007 <<< After several requests by authors, the deadline for submitting papers to the EG Workshop on Natural Phenomena has been changed to May 25, 2007. The call for papers and the web site is enclosed in this mail. Best regards, Workshop Chairs Eric Galin (FR) Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Committee Chairs David Ebert (US) Stéphane Mérillou (FR) Call for papers Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-concious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Plant structure modeling - Ecosystem simulation - Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog .) - Simulating liquid flows - Modeling fire and smoke - Aging and weathering - Terrain modeling Important Dates Submission deadline: Friday, May 25th, 2007 (24:00 GMT) Notification of acceptance: Monday, June 25th, 2007 Camera-ready papers deadline: Sunday, July 8th, 2007 Workshop: Tuesday, September 4th, 2007 (one full day)

CfP-Reminder: Workshop on 3D Imaging

by Stefanie Behnke

[Apologies if you receive this CfP-update several times] ---------------- CALL FOR PAPERS: ---------------- +----------------------------------+ | EXTENSION OF SUBMISSION DEADLINE | | | | NEW DEADLINE: June 4th 2007 | +----------------------------------+ WORKSHOP ON DYNAMIC 3D IMAGING IN CONJUNCTION WITH Symp. of the German Association for Pattern Recognition, DAGM September 11th, 2007, Heidelberg GENERAL INFORMATION http://www.multi-sensorics.de/dyn3d IMPORTANT DATES NEW Submission of full papers: June 04th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: July 30th, 2007 Final versions due: August 10th, 2007 Workshop: September 11th, 2007 SCOPE 3D imaging sensors have been investigated for several decades. In recent years, improvements on classical approaches like stereo vision on the one hand, and novel techniques like ZCam or Photonic Mixing Device (PMD) on the other hand have emerged, leading to 3D vision systems with radically improved characteristics. Presently, these techniques make full-range 3D data available at interactive frame rates, and thus open the path towards a much broader application of 3D vision systems. The workshop focuses on sensor systems, data processing approaches and systems incorporating interactive, full-range 3D sensors in specific application areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Development of full-range 3D sensors or sensor systems, including - active and passive 3D imaging systems - 3D sensors operating at optical, near-infrared, terahertz and microwave wavelengths - sensor simulation * Multi sensor fusion incorporating full-range 3D sensors * Data processing for dynamic full-range 3D-data, including - sensor based image synthesis - calibration techniques - 3D object recognition - 3D optical flow * Applications using interactive, full-range 3D sensors, e.g. in areas like - autonomous robotics - medicine - industrial automation Results of practical significance with an adequate inclusion of interactive 3D vision sensors will be considered. The content of submitted papers has to be novel.
