EUROGRAPHICS WORKSHOP on
Computational Aesthetics
in Graphics, Visualization, and Imaging
18 - 20 May, 2005 in Girona, Spain
Call for Participation
This will be the first EG workshop on Computational Aesthetics in Graphics,
Visualization and Imaging, to take placein sunny Spain, in Girona which is
near to Barcelona. The goal of this event is to enable experts of computer
graphics,visualization, coloristic and imaging to meet and discuss various
aspects of this emerging interdisciplinary area.
The new discipline of Computational Aesthetics is an experimentally based
scientific field and not a philosophically based modern version of art. The
goals, methods, and scholarly endeavor of interest to the respective
communities are different. Accordingly this workshop will deal with the
applied rather than the philosophical nature of aesthetics.
Computational Aesthetics provides tools for the graphics and visualization
communities to increase the value of displayed imagery and to avoid
classical artifacts. Beginning work in the area demonstrates examples of
effective techniques and provides a methodology that will generalize to a
broader class of problems. This iterative two-part process consists of using
artistic computer graphics techniques to enhance the presentation of
important data features, then conducting perceptual studies to evaluate the
effectiveness of the resulting imagery. The strength of this approach lies
in the synergy achieved in the tight coupling of these research areas. The
workshop shall ensure further possibilities for researchers dealing with
partly overlapping areas like non-photorealistic rendering or applied
perception.
Workshop topics include but are not restricted to
- Optimal view point selection (artistic and/or representative
visualization)
- Automatic Lighting Design, Image Relighting Techniques
- Non-Photorealistic Rendering, Painting-like rendering, Drawing
- Artistic Textures, Patterns, Ornaments, Tiling
- Sketching, Simplification techniques, Technical and Medical Illustration
- Computational Color Harmony, Color Dynamics, Color Environmental Design
- Color Preferences / Effects and Roles of Colors
- Colorization of gray-scale images, Pseudo-Coloring techniques
- Color Style Transfer Techniques between Images
- Image Analogies
- Applied Visual Perception (Color Appearance, Spatial Vision and other
aspects)
- Perceptual / Cognitive High Dynamic Range Imaging
- Artistic Image Transformation Techniques
- Generalized Image Synthesis (nonlinear mappings, spaces, rays, camera
models)
- Image Style Analysis (paintings, photographs, others)
- Composition, Visual Balance, Layout
- Design of Geometrical and Fractal Scenes
- Image and Scene Complexity, Image Appearance, Image Quality
- Empirically based Metrics of Aesthetical Attributes
Participation can be with or without an oral presentation. To apply for a
talk, please send a one-page abstract of your intended topic by 15 March,
2005. Topics do not have to be unpublished research, but should either
highlight the aesthetic aspects or contain new ideas in this direction.
Talks will be 20 minutes plus 20 minutes discussion. A selection of
submitted abstracts will be done on a pure thematic judgment, notification
will happen before 31 March, 2005. During the workshop the program committee
and the participants will define those papers which shall be included in a
full color proceedings volume published by Eurographics.
Organizers: László Neumann (E), Mateu Sbert (E), Bruce Gooch (US), Werner
