by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers ----------------------------------------------------------- Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2017 (3DOR17) ----------------------------------------------------------- A co-event of Eurographics 2017 April 23-24, 2017, Lyon, France <http://liris.cnrs.fr/eg3dor2017/> http://liris.cnrs.fr/eg3dor2017/ Important Dates -------------------------------------------- Paper submission : February 3, 2017 Notification of authors : March 3, 2017 Camera-ready papers due : March 10, 2017 Workshop dates : April 23-24, 2017 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series -------------------------------------------- Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. Also, a new wave of information is underway: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modeling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search, and navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing attention from the research community. 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 or are interested in 3D object retrieval search and exploration, to present state-of-the-art work in the field or learn about it and participate in discussions. This will provide a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2017 will be the 10th workshop in this series. Call for Papers -------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers (up to 8 pages) and short papers presented in a poster session (up to 4 pages). All accepted papers will be published in the EG Digital Library. *This year, extended versions of the full papers will be submitted for a special issue of Computers and Graphics published by Elsevier, based on the reviewers comments and on the feedback from the 3DOR workshop. The deadline for this special issue will be 6 weeks after the workshop and reviewer continuity will be aimed for.* Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D shape analysis - 3D shape similarity and matching - 3D video retrieval - 3D mobile media retrieval - 3D object retrieval and Web3D - 3D search in large scale data - Personalized 3D search - 3D object classification, indexing, and mining - Similarity of non-rigid shapes - Shape correspondence - Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation - Multi-scale 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 - Deep learning for 3D shape retrieval - Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization - Applications in multimedia, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage. This years workshop will also feature the 12th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest (SHREC2017). A separate call for participation will be issued later.

PhD student position in urban data viz at Ecole Centrale de Nantes

by eurographics＠eg.org

The CRENAU team of the AAU lab (http://aau.archi.fr/) of Ecole Centrale de Nantes works on urban environnement perception. We propose a PhD student position in urban data viz (see attachement for details), with IRCCYN lab (http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/ <http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/fr/> ). We are looking for student interested in urba data perception, user experience and a multidisciplinary research environment. Send your application to vincent.tourre(a)ec-nantes.fr best regards, -- Vincent Tourre Associate Professor Team CRENAU / Lab AAU École Centrale de Nantes UDMV2016 Programme co-chair : <http://events.ulg.ac.be/udmv2016> http://events.ulg.ac.be/udmv2016 PhD proposal – VisUrba project Visualization of multi layered spatio-‐temporal 3D urban datasets Keywords: urban data, geovisualisation, user study Background, Context: The understanding of complex spatio-‐temporal urban data is a critical challenge in urban planning as the stakeholders have to take into account numerous constraints related to various domains embedding sustainable, social and economical concerns. To tackle this problem, geovisualization uses methods based on human perception and cognition to show the underlying meaning of spatio-‐temporal datasets. This PhD thesis proposes to explore visualization methods in various 3D environments (Desktop, VR, AR, SAR) to find the best solution for a given user task (exploration, decision) at a given urban scale (building, street, district, etc.). This PhD in information visualization takes place into an pluridisciplinary environment (computer science, geoinformation, humanities): the CRENAU team of the AAU lab ( <http://crenau.archi.fr/)%2Cwhich> http://crenau.archi.fr/),which is a founding member of the IRSTV research institute (www.irstv.fr), and the IVC team of the IRCCyN lab ( <http://www.irccyn.ec-/> http://www.irccyn.ec-‐ nantes.fr/fr/equipes/ivc). Research subject, work plan: The work is about displaying spatio-‐temporal urban data in an effective way. Based on the user's profile, behavior and task, the most appropriate visualization type and data quality will be estimated. More precisely, this PhD thesis proposes to consider each data as a layer that will be processed according to the data type and the required levels of detail as well as the display context. The data model will be based on standards currently used in GIS and/or BIM communities. User tests will be conducted to evaluate the quality of proposed solutions. The research challenges include both visualization solution proposal and the construction of an evaluation framework for information visualization.
