Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017). http://wiced.inria.fr/ The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of interactive games and virtual worlds. At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video. The workshop series is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront research being performed in both domains. One common area of active research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told and its relation to its communicative goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality movie making. This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial experts working in all aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing, as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues. The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum, which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière - inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema. ========== Submission ========== Researchers should submit one of: Regular paper (max 8 pages) reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. Short paper (max 4 pages) describing work in progress or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. Submission information will be updated on the workshop site http://wiced.inria.fr/ Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing in the EG Digital Library. ================= Topics of interest ================= Camera path planning and visibility Interactive and automatic camera control Automatic video editing Movie pre-vizualization Game cinematics, cinematic replays, and machinima Virtual reality and augmented reality movie making Immersive and interactive cinema Natural user interfaces for cinematography and editing Expressive performance of virtual characters Cognitive models of film perception Automatic video analysis of movies Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing Computer-assisted multi-camera production Evaluation methodologies and user experience Analysis of film style =============== Important Dates =============== Paper submission: February 10, 2017. Notification to authors: March 10, 2017. Camera-ready deadline: March 24, 2017. Workshop held: April 24, 2017. ==================== Organizing committee ==================== The international workshop series is supervised by a steering committee composed of Magy Seif El-Nasr (Northeastern University), R. Michael Young (NC State University), Joseph Magliano (Northern Illinois University), Paolo Burelli (Aalborg University Copenhagen), Arnav Jhala (UC Santa Cruz), and Remi Ronfard (Inria Grenoble).

Open position in CG/VR at U Bremen, Germany

by eurographics＠eg.org

Open Position with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group Bremen Research assistant with the Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality Group at the University of Bremen, Germany. Salary is according to the German Federal pay scale, TV-L 13, full position. Job Description: The work in this position will comprise 3D geometric algorithms and virtual reality in the context of medical simulation. The particular application is the training of surgeons for procedures involving the replacement of hip joints. The successful candidate will collaborate with other German partners providing 3D models, force-feedback, and game software platforms. The job of the successful candidate is to work on geometric algorithms for penetration computations and the simulation of milling during the procedure. At the end of the project, after two years, the system should enable surgery students to experience a hip joint procedure both visually and haptically in a virtual reality setup. This will greatly facilitate the training of surgeons and help them make fewer mistakes when beginning to practice. About us: The position offers great opportunities for collaboration with other members of both the computer graphics group and other groups. This job provides a vibrant research environment where a broad range of activities related to 3D graphics algorithms and virtual reality are being pursued. The successful candidate will be working with a dynamic, friendly, and helpful team of computer graphics researchers. Our research group is part of the school of computer science at University of Bremen. Our university is a mid-sized university with about 20,000 students, a lot of them from abroad, offering a broad range of fringe benefits such as sports facilities, cultural activities, and daycare. Qualifications: Candidates should have an excellent Master's degree or equivalent in computer science, or related disciplines such as mathematics, physics, etc. Required skills are solid experience in C++ software development, and a good command of English (reading/writing/speaking). Ideally, you have specialized in real-time computer graphics or 3D geometric algorithms, you are capable of effectively applying mathematical methods, and you have good knowledge in GPGPU programming. In addition, the successful candidate will be highly self-motivated, passionate about their work, and have good ability to work both independently as well as in a team in a multidisciplinary environment. Speaking German, at least for conversation, is a plus. Conditions of Employment: For the time being, the position is available until 31.8.2018 (under the condition of job release), with the aim of extension. As the University of Bremen intends to increase the proportion of female employees in science, women are particularly encouraged to apply. In case of equal personal aptitudes and qualification, disabled persons will be given priority. Applicants with a migration background are welcome. How to Apply & What to Do in Case of Questions: Applications should comprise a cover letter, complete CV including any achievements, degree certificates (including list of courses and grades), names and contact details of at least two referees, and other credentials if any (e.g., recommendation letters, publications, etc.). Application by email is preferred. We encourage candidates to apply immediately, but will continue to review applications until the position is filled. If you have any questions about the position, please do not hesitate to address them to the above email address. Prof. Dr. G.
