Call for papers : Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing (WICED 2015)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing (WICED 2015), Zurich, May 4, 2015. Co-located with the 36th annual conference of the European Association of Computer Graphics. Deadline for submission : February 28, 2015. 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 a 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 fourth 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 1 page abstracts) 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. Please refer to the workshop web site : <http://wiced2015.inria.fr/> http://wiced2015.inria.fr for submission information and updates.

TopoInVis 2015 Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

/// TopoInVis 2015 - Call for Papers /// <http://topoinvis.org/2015/> http://topoinvis.org/2015/ Topology-based methods are of increasing importance in the analysis and visualization of datasets from a wide variety of scientific domains such as biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. Current challenges of topology-based techniques include the extension of concepts to time-dependent data, the representation of large and complex datasets, the characterization of noise and uncertainty, the effective integration of numerical methods with robust combinatorial algorithms, etc. In this forum we will bring together the most prominent and best recognized researchers in the field of topology-based data analysis and visualization for a joint discussion and scientific exchange of the latest results in the field. At the workshop we will discuss topics, which include: * scalar/vector/tensor field topology * topology of point sets and cell complexes * multi-field topology * theoretical models * combinatorial methods and robustness * multi-scale representation models * higher-order topological methods * time-dependent methods * feature extraction * Lagrangian coherent structures * topology-based denoising * topological similarity and correlation * topology simplification * user interfaces and visualization * domain specific interpretation of topological constructs and results * efficiency of topological algorithms The 2015 workshop in Annweiler, Germany follows the five successful workshops in 2005 (Budmerice, Slovakia), 2007 (Grimma, Germany), 2009 (Snowbird, USA), 2011 (Zurich, Switzerland), and 2013 (Davis, USA). It will be held in an open atmosphere of informal discussions, open exchange and personal interaction. We invite participation at the workshop through full papers including presentation, or through panels that discuss topics of interest to the community. For TopoInVis 2015, we especially solicit work that discusses implementations of topological analysis and visualization techniques. Such implementations must be available under an open-source license. It is our intent to create at TopoInVis a platform to disseminate knowledge about such implementations throughout and beyond the community. Corresponding papers are expected to describe the strategies behind their novel implementation, discuss capabilities, limitations, and performance characteristics, and compare the presented implementation to similar works if those exist. Paper submissions will be peer-reviewed by an international program committee before the workshop, and must be presented at the workshop. We are tentatively planning to publish all accepted papers in the Mathematics + Visualization series of Springer after a mandatory revision incorporating reviewer comments and discussions at the workshop. Important Dates: Dec. 19, 2014: *abstract submission* for papers Jan. 14, 2015: *submission deadline* for papers and panel proposals Feb. 20, 2015: notification of acceptance Apr. 17, 2015 (tentative): revised papers due Jun. 12, 2015 (tentative): secound round reviews due Jun. 19, 2015 (tentative): final notification Instructions on how to submit a paper or panel proposal can be found here: <http://vis.uni-kl.de/topoinvis/author-instructions/> http://vis.uni-kl.de/topoinvis/author-instructions/ Program Chairs (alphabetic order): Hamish Carr, University of Leeds, UK Christoph Garth, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany Tino Weinkauf, Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Germany and KTH Stockholm, Sweden
