CfP: 3DOR 2015 >> Deadline: February 20, 2015 : FINAL REMINDER

by eurographics＠eg.org

3D Object Retrieval Workshop (3DOR) 2015 Co-located event with Eurographics 2015 Website: <http://vc.ee.duth.gr/3dor2015/> http://vc.ee.duth.gr/3dor2015/ ====================================== !! FINAL REMINDER !! PAPER SUBMISSION : FEBRUARY 20, 2015 ======================================== Do you remember the days when retrieving the data that you needed from the internet was a matter of visiting sites your friends knew? The days when you would try out alternative search engines to find a single result? Was it a coincidence that text retrieval engines flourished with the explosion of textual information on the internet that could not be manually explored? A new wave of information is now underway. Low-cost 3D scanners and 3D printers combined with popular applications of Computer Graphics and Vision are making 3D object models appeal to an increasing audience. See for example repositories such as <http://shapes.aimatshape.net/> http://shapes.aimatshape.net/ , <https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/> https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/. As these 3D object collections are growing, the importance of effective retrieval, search and exploration is increasing. Because it is easier to find something than to create it from scratch and because manual browsing quickly becomes intractable as a collection grows. To this effect it is crucial to develop algorithms for the content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; indexing 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for data bases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance such as what it means for two shapes to be similar; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms. Many fields of Computer Science and beyond can offer their valuable knowledge to this complex but highly interesting and practical problem. 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 2015will be the 8th workshop in this series. 3DOR 2015 will be a 2-day event for the first time and will contain the following tracks: research papers, posters, 2 keynote speeches (NEW!), EU project presentations and networking (NEW!), industrial session (NEW!). Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations 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). Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - 3D object 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 - 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 - Statistical techniques for 3D shape analysis and 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 10th Shape Retrieval Evaluation Contest ( SHREC2015 - <http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/shrec/> http://www.projects.science.uu.nl/shrec/ ) It is planned to have extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop appearing, after a further review, in a special issue of an international journal.

CFP Reminder : 4th Workshop on Intelligent Camera Control, Cinematography and Editing

by eurographics＠eg.org

CFP Reminder : 4th Workshop on Intelligent Camera Control, Cinematography and Editing 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 games and virtual worlds. Cinematics produced in virtual worlds play a role not just for entertainment, but also for training, education, health-care communication, simulation, visualization and many other contexts. The automatic creation of cinematics in these environments holds the potential to produce video sequences appropriate for the wide range of applications and tailored to specific spatial, temporal, communicative, user and application contexts. 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. This third workshop on intelligent cinematography and editing 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 teaching, training or therapeutic goals. The workshop is open to researchers and industrial experts working on the many related aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualisation, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. These researchers will draw upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic artworks in virtual worlds and the real world. Topics of interest o Camera path planning o Visibility computation o Viewpoint entropy o Navigation techniques and proximal exploration o Interactive camera control metaphors o Approaches to framing and composition of individual shots o Automatic lighting design o Intelligent staging and blocking of virtual lights, cameras and actors o Expressive performance of virtual characters o Intelligent video editing tools o Efficient algorithms for camera placement and shot sequence selection o Natural user interfaces for camera control and video editing o Parallels between cinematic and linguistic communication o Cognitive models of the comprehension of virtual cinematics o Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing of live-action video o Computer-assisted multi-camera production o Virtual cinematography as a pre-visualisation tool for real-world filming o Intelligent tools and novel interfaces for in-game cinematics, replays, and machinima o Intelligent generation of comic book layouts o Evaluation methodologies and user experience o Interactive and generative cinema o Cinematic serious game and applications o Collaborative visual storytelling o Non-linear storytelling o Transmedia storytelling o Creativity in cinematic communication Submission Researchers should submit one of: . 8 page paper reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. . 1 page abstract describing emergent work or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. Submissions will be reviewed by the program committee; review criteria will intentionally be inclusive rather than competitive, to encourage work in progress and a broader participation in a nascent community of researchers. Reviews will include feedback for authors regardless of decision for acceptance or rejection. All the selected papers (excluding statements of interest) will be published in the workshop's working notes. Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing provided in the EG Digital Library.

Call for Papers: Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2015

by eurographics＠eg.org

=============================================== Eurographics Symposium on Rendering June 24-26, 2015 Darmstadt, Germany http://egsr2015.gcc.tu-darmstadt.de/ =============================================== CALL FOR PAPERS Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2015 will take place in Darmstadt, Germany, from June 24 to June 26, 2015. This 26th event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on rendering. This year brings some changes to the submission process: the introduction of a second "Experimental Ideas & Implementations" track in addition to the traditional EGSR papers track (the "CGF track"). Authors have the choice of submitting their work to either the CGF track, the experimental track, or both. The CGF submission track will remain as is, and continue the long tradition of disseminating state-of-the-art academic results in rendering and related fields. The papers in this track will be, as before, published as an issue of Computer Graphics Forum after a full peer review, including a rebuttal and a 2nd review cycle. In addition, EGSR 2015 introduces a new "Experimental Ideas & Implementations" conference papers track. Its explicit goal is to solicit submissions that describe either exciting ideas that are not (yet) validated according to the high academic standard of the CGF track, or interesting implementation details for known algorithms in industry-scale uses. In particular, requirements on comparisons to related work, citations, and quality of results are relaxed in exchange for the key questions: is the idea stimulating and interesting? Would it spark discussion and give valuable insights to the rendering community? Papers in this track will undergo full double-blind peer review using its own review form, and be published in the EGSR conference proceedings series, but not the CGF journal. There is no rebuttal or 2nd review cycle. As per common practice, the authors have the possibility to build on top of the conference paper, add comparisons and validation, and submit the work to a journal later. Please see below for FAQ regarding the new track. For both tracks, we are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering and related fields. In particular, we encourage submission in the related topics of appearance modeling, computational displays, fabrication, and hardware architectures. Neither papers track has a fixed maximum limit on the number of pages. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must always be in proportion to contribution. Core conference topics include (but are not limited to): Global illumination Real-time and offline rendering Acquisition, modeling, and manipulation of light transport & appearance Realistic, non-photorealistic, 2D, and 3D image processing & synthesis Mathematical techniques for image synthesis Computational photography/optics/displays Software and hardware systems/architectures for rendering Audio/sound rendering We hope to see you and your work in Darmstadt! Jaakko Lehtinen Derek Nowrouzezahrai EGSR 2015 papers chairs IMPORTANT DATES =============================================== Abstract deadline Wednesday Apr 1 Papers deadline Sunday Apr 5 Reviews due Sunday May 3 Rebuttal due Wednesday May 6 (for CGF track only) Author notification Thursday May 14 Final papers due Thursday May 21 Final notification Sunday May 24 (for CGF track only) All times are 23:59 (midnight) UTC. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS about the Experimental Ideas & Implementations Track =============================================== Q: What's the process with the extended journal version? A: Once you have a paper accepted in the new track and published in the conference proceedings, many journals, CGF included, apply the rule by which adding 30% new material and addressing any major issues that preclude journal publication qualifies the revised paper for consideration in the journal. The authors should indicate the nature of the submission in a cover letter. In addition, the EGSR papers committee and CGF editors may, at their discretion, invite select papers from the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track to a fast-track second review cycle in Computer Graphics Forum. Q: Why would I submit to both tracks? A: Should the committee decide your paper is not, in the form it was submitted, suitable for the CGF track, it then has the option of accepting it to the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track. You, the author, get a paper, valuable feedback, visibility for your ideas, and the possibility of later extending your work into a journal paper. However, if you feel your contribution clearly falls within the scope of the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track but not the CGF track, please only submit to the the former. This makes the job of the reviewers and the committee easier, which is of particular importance because the review schedule is tight. Q: What if my paper includes interesting system and implementation details but less algorithmic or mathematical novelty? A: We would love to consider your work for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Q: What if I have an intriguing idea but I have no idea if it works or not, or it only works in a certain special case? A: We would love to consider your paper for the Experimental Ideas & Implementations track! Come present it and we'll all talk about it together. Q: Are Experimental Ideas & Implementations papers presented in separate sessions? A: No. In the spirit of promoting new and interesting ideas, all papers will be presented alongside in sessions that fit their topic.

Short papers can be presented as oral presentations or posters. Note that papers not considered ready for full publication may be redirected as posters. SPECIAL SESSIONSWorkshop/Tutorial/Panel (up to 4-page overview via EasyChair) EXPO Exhibit (up to 4-page overview via EasyChair) See the following sections for submission details and deadlines. SUBMISSION PROCEDURE ==================== All submissions will need to be submitted by means of EasyChair that is accessible through https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=digitalheritage2015 FULL AND SHORT PAPERS --------------------- Submitted manuscripts should not exceed 8 pages for long papers (including figures, tables and references) and 4 pages for short paper presentations. Authors should select a single scientific Theme for each submission. The two best papers on each theme will be invited to submit an extended version of the paper to a an International Journal including: - ACM Journ. on Computing and Cultural Heritage - JOCCH (http://jocch.acm.org/) - Journal of Cultural Heritage (Elsevier, http://www.journals.elsevier.com/journal-of-cultural-heritage/) - Digital Applications in Archaeology and Cultural Heritage - DAACH (Elsevier, http://www.journals.elsevier.com/digital-applications-in-archaeology-and-cul tural-heritage/) Short papers will be presented at the event by either an oral presentation or by means of a poster and e-posters presentation. Authors of a short paper should indicate the preferred way of presentation (Oral or Poster). As the conference adopts a double-blind reviewing process, authors must ensure that any information that links authors or co-authors, e.g. affiliations, contact details, e-mails, to the paper are removed on the paper for the first submission step. Registration details on easyChair should remain at place.Full and Short papers must be formatted in IEEE double column, single space format, A4 page. The word style or the LaTeX template can be downloaded from the IEEE site. SPECIAL SESSIONS ---------------- Special Sessions will include: Tutorials, Workshops and Panels For a Special Session proposal to be considered for acceptance at Digital Heritage 2015, the proposed topic needs to be a presentation of teaching objectives (tutorials), contributions to the state-of-the-art, new initiatives or an emerging area in one of the core themes of the conference. The topic should be timely and significantly important to the audience, and the speakers need to convey compelling information about it. Tutorials should be planned as half-day or full-day, at introductory, intermediate or advanced levels, and could cover any theme among the entire spectrum of topics of the Conference. They could focus vertically on technology, or could demonstrate its potential for creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. While proposing a tutorial, authors should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education, curatorship and applications. Proposals for Workshops and Panels will be judged by the ability to bring together key researchers from the CH as well as ICT domains, aiming at introducing a new area to the overall community, to further develop it, and to help establishing a larger research community beyond that area. Special session proposals covering multi-disciplinary areas are particularly encouraged, as well as those proposals regarding common challenges, e.g. (and not restricted to) Methods in Archaeology, Museums and Technology, etc. Special Session submissions (up to 4 A4-pages) should contain the following information: - A title and brief description of the content or topic and its relevance to the DH community (not more than 1,500 words); - Full contact information for all tutorial instructors or workshop leaders, including a one-paragraph statement of their research interests and areas of expertise; - A short CV for each presenter, participant or authors who have agreed to participate with their results to the session - A description of target audience and expected number of participants (based, if possible, on past experience); - Any special requirements for technical support.Additionally, Tutorial proposals should include: - A brief outline showing that the core content can be covered in a half day (approximately 3 hours, plus breaks). In exceptional cases, full-day tutorials may be supported as well. Workshop proposals must include: - The intended length and format of the workshop and the forecasted number of attendees; - A proposed budget (as DH workshops are expected to be self-financing). CONFERENCE THEMES ================= While planning your submission(s), take into account that Digital Heritage 2015 will focus around five Heritage Themes: Digitization and Acquisition ----------------------------- Photogrammetry & image-based modeling 3D scanning & digitization (laser, structured light, motion capture, etc.) Remote sensing and Aerial Laser Scanning (ALS) GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo) Advanced 2Ddocument scanning Low-cost & gaming 3D input Ultra-high resolution & HDR photography Terahertz, Infrared, UV & X-ray imaging Advanced sensors research Heritage diagnostics Computer Graphics and Interaction ---------------------------------- Immersive and Active/Passive stereo-displays Augmented displays Real + virtual worlds (mixed/augmented reality) Virtualization of other senses (touch, taste, smell, sound) Haptic & Multimodal interaction Distributed VR Local/remote rendering Innovative interaction systems Tools for Storytelling and Serious Games Tools for multimedia or museums installations Usability, effectiveness and interface design Visual simulation of materials Emerging visualization technologies Analysis and Interpretation ---------------------------- Historic Document Analysis Remote Sensing Analysis (including visible, multispectral and radar images) Finite element, structural and other analyses 3D modeling (CAD-based and reality-based Building Information Modeling (BIM) Virtual Reconstruction Issues Realism and Interpretation in CH 3D, multimedia and GIS repositories, platforms, & info systems Digital Curation and Museology Virtual GIS and Mapping tools Integrated interpretation of diagnostic sensors Theory, Methodologies, Preservation and Standards -------------------------------------------------- Metadata Handling & Management Digital libraries Heritage Commons Cultural Analytics Heritage at Risk Cognitive Sciences and Interaction Digital Humanities Text Markup / Analysis Born digital content issues Digital Rights Management Trusted digital repositories / OAIS Institutional Repositories Semantic Web in CH New Economical Models for Digital Heritage Long term storage and persistence Requirements and policies for Preservation Data formats and compression for preservation Digital Heritage Projects and Application.
