by eurographics＠eg.org

Addendum to the 5th Call for Papers: - STAR / Exhibitions, Tutorials and Workshop Submission Deadline to June, 30th / July, 2nd - Notification Deadline moved to July, 31 - Updates on registration process and registration fees ============================================================================ ============ 5th C A L L F O R P A P E R S STAR / Tutorials & Exhibition Submission Deadline: June 30th / July 2nd, 2014 The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage October, 6th - 8th 2014, Darmstadt, Germany in cooperation with TU Darmstadt Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt http://diglib.eg.org/GCH2014 Follow us on Twitter: @EGGCH2014 ============================================================================ ============ INVITATION: =========== You are cordially invited to contribute to the 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) which, for the first time, will take place in Darmstadt, Germany. In the past, cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of digitally preserving, managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still many unsolved problems remain. Among the challenges the community faces are fast and economic, high quality, large scale 2D/3D digitization, certification, classification, annotation, visualization, storage and faithful 2D/3D replication of cultural heritage artefacts, the definition of digitization and preservation strategies for museum collections, the definition of standard data formats for digital models, the development of longterm data storage technologies as well as standard legislation for digital model rights. In continuation to last years' workshop series and to overcome the aforementioned challenges, we would like to invite and welcome all relevant stakeholders from cultural heritage institutions, academia, research, industry, economy, policy and law makers to create synergies, participate and contribute to the European Forum for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to the Cultural Heritage domain. Following a long tradition, this event focuses on the integration of digital tools and solutions into the practice of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and Museums. LOCATION: ========= GCH 2014 will take place in Darmstadt, the birth place of the last Empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov. Darmstadt is famous for its 'Jugendstil' (art nouveau) buildings. The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an unmistakable character. Through science, literature, art and architecture, Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much acclaim. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great diversity of science and art, many publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes for ICT, literature, art and music - all of this reflected in Darmstadt's official name as 'City of Science'. TOPICS: ======= The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshops on Graphics and Cultural Heritage aims to foster an international dialogue between the different fields of expertise and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of CH scientists for managing, processing and delivering cultural information to a broader audience. Focus of this year's forum is to present and showcase new developments within the overall process chain, from data acquisition, 3D documentation, analysis and synthesis, semantical modelling, data management, to the point of virtual museums or new forms of interactive presentations and 3D printing solutions. GCH 2014 therefore provides scientists, engineers and CH managers a possibility to discuss new ICT technologies applied to data modelling, reconstruction and processing, digital libraries, virtual museums, interactive environments and applications for CH, ontologies and semantic processing, management and archiving, standards and documentation, as well as its transfer into practice. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and through publications: on-going project results, preliminary ideas and works in progress, and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage. We therefore seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied areas of the digital cultural heritage domain, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. In particular: * 2/3/4D data capturing and processing in Cultural Heritage * Material acquisition and presentation * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Data acquisition technologies * Digital libraries and 3D documents * Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) * Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Visualization and Virtual Museums * 3D printing based on new appearance models * Preservation and digital archiving of artefacts * Metadata, classification schemes, ontologies and semantic processing * Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage * Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving * Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage * On-site and remotely sensed data collections * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Storytelling and design of heritage communications * Standards and documentation * Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications * Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage * New business models and technology transfer into practice GCH 2014 will also include "State-of-the-Art Reports", inspired by the EG STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of GCH. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the STAR reports. Two STAR reports will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings together with the short and project papers. GCH-STAR authors will present their work within a 60 minute presentation during GCH 2014. CONTRIBUTIONS: ============== We are seeking, as of now, contributions by following means: - GCH-STAR reports providing a useful novel overview of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of this workshop series. We expect the STAR submissions as full version being available at submission deadline. - Tutorials and Workshops: the conference will also host half-day and full-day working sessions that provide an opportunity to get in touch with ongoing projects and cutting-edge research in the field of digital technologies for Cultural Heritage.

by eurographics＠eg.org

Fraunhofer IGD - ESR 3 year PhD position in image processing and 3D reconstruction Job Vacancy to be found under Ref. No. 33936585 under http://ec.europa.eu/euraxess/ For enquiries: pedro.santos(a)igd.fraunhofer.de Full Time Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher Positions in the fields of Computer Science to work on image processing and 3D reconstruction of cultural heritage artifacts Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary qualifications in order to fill one (1) full time Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR) Fellow Position within the Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt, Germany. The selected Marie Curie ESR will work for 36 months within the ITN-Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH: www.itn-dch.eu) Marie Curie ITN Programme which, is the only EU funded programme bringing together fourteen (14) leading European Institutions as full partners and nine (9) other as associated partners in a transnational network, aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary and intersectorial research and training programme between the academic and the industrial partners. Description: Cultural Heritage (CH) is an integral element of Europe and vital for the creation of a common European identity and one of the greatest assets for steering Europe's social, economic development and job creation. However, the current research training activities in Cultural Heritage are fragmented and mostly design to be of a single-discipline, failing to cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a multi- disciplinary and intersectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH aims for the first time worldwide that top universities, research centers, industries and CH stakeholders, end-users and standardized bodies will collaborate to train the next generation of researchers in DCH. The project aims to analyze, design, research, develop and validate an innovative multi-disciplinary and intersectorial research training framework that covers the whole lifecycle of digital CH research for a cost-effective preservation, documentation, protection and presentation of CH. ITN-DCH targets innovations that covers all aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images, drawings, manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artifacts, archaeological sites, monuments) to intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore, theatrical performances) and their inter-relationships. The project aims to boost the added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments (protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films, music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e-services, (ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv) interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving. One ESR will be recruited by the host organization at the Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt, Germany Position ESR7: One ESR to be recruited by the host organization of the Competence Center for Cultural Heritage Digitization at Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research in Darmstadt, Germany for the duration of 36 months under full employment contract. The selected candidate's contract can be extended up to 60 months when desired and if performing well. The fellow will perform research along the following lines: We are looking for a motivated early stage researcher to join our group and help us achieve fast and economic mass digitization of 3D cultural heritage artifacts by automation and parallel processing technologies from images or videos. This objective implies the sub-goals of optimizing performance and parallelism, accuracy, robustness and scalability of 3D reconstruction algorithms. The position will be tightly linked with research challenges in the computer vision domain, especially optical flow and feature recognition techniques, as well as development of parallel, multi-core and GPU-based technologies to speed up 3D photogrammetric reconstruction techniques. Drawing from a data pool of highly unstructured videos and still images, one of the challenges will be making the algorithms robust to changes in background, various lighting situations and optical degradation of input data, thus experience in automated data selection and filtering methodologies is vital. The required competence and experience is as follows: Knowledge in the field of computer vision and image processing is recommended, including the tasks of background extraction, robust separation of dynamic and static content, drawing from methods of optical flow and 2D features, as well as feature- and marker-based tracking. 3D reconstruction will be based on photogrammetric approaches, and thus, knowledge and experience in 3D/4D-reconstruction techniques based on videos and images, using Photometric Stereo and Multi-view Stereo, e.g., and other photogrammetric methods is recommended. We also want to process image streams to do 3D reconstruction of dynamic content, so experience in video streaming and stream decomposition into frames is useful. Furthermore, knowledge of parallelization techniques is welcome, such as methodologies for multi-threading, multi-core and multi-GPU computation, as well as out-of-core computation, as handling of large amounts of data. The position will be tightly coupled with active research and practical implementation within a large software framework, which is why we require experience in scientific work and publication. From the implementation side, excellent programming skills in C++ and optional Java, and GLSL or OpenCL, as well as experience with cross-platform build systems such as cmake are an absolute requirement. Since we will be working intensely in a team, excellent proficiency in the English language is mandatory, and knowledge of the German language is encouraged. Professional experience in the industry and/or with previous EU projects is welcome. The ESR is expected to present his/her research results on project meetings, international conferences and in scientific publications and to contribute to patents applications.

!!!! DUE TO MULTIPLE REQUESTS: PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE EXTENSION !!!! Addendum to the 4th Call for Papers: - Extension of Paper Submission Deadline to June, 10th, 12:00pm - Notification Deadline moved to July, 31 - Updates on registration process ============================================================================ ============ 4th C A L L F O R P A P E R S NEW: Paper Submission Deadline: June 10, 2014, 12:00pm (UTC) The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage October, 6th - 8th 2014, Darmstadt, Germany in cooperation with TU Darmstadt Fraunhofer IGD, Darmstadt http://diglib.eg.org/GCH2014 Follow us on Twitter: @EGGCH2014 ============================================================================ ============ INVITATION: =========== You are cordially invited to contribute to the 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH) which, for the first time, will take place in Darmstadt, Germany. In the past, cultural Heritage scientists as well as ICT experts have collaborated to find solutions to optimize all aspects of digitally preserving, managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but still many unsolved problems remain. Among the challenges the community faces are fast and economic, high quality, large scale 2D/3D digitization, certification, classification, annotation, visualization, storage and faithful 2D/3D replication of cultural heritage artefacts, the definition of digitization and preservation strategies for museum collections, the definition of standard data formats for digital models, the development of longterm data storage technologies as well as standard legislation for digital model rights. In continuation to last years' workshop series and to overcome the aforementioned challenges, we would like to invite and welcome all relevant stakeholders from cultural heritage institutions, academia, research, industry, economy, policy and law makers to create synergies, participate and contribute to the European Forum for Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) applied to the Cultural Heritage domain. Following a long tradition, this event focuses on the integration of digital tools and solutions into the practice of Cultural Heritage, Archaeology and Museums. LOCATION: ========= GCH 2014 will take place in Darmstadt, the birth place of the last Empress of Russia, Tsarina Alexandra Romanov. Darmstadt is famous for its 'Jugendstil' (art nouveau) buildings. The establishment of the Mathildenhöhe artists colony more than 100 years ago played its part in raising Darmstadt to prominence. Magnificent art nouveau houses give this hill of muses an unmistakable character. Through science, literature, art and architecture, Darmstadt has developed a wholly unique appeal that has earned it much acclaim. Today, Darmstadt boasts a great diversity of science and art, many publishing houses and graphic design studios, as well as the European Space Agency's satellite control centre and internationally acclaimed institutes for ICT, literature, art and music - all of this reflected in Darmstadt's official name as 'City of Science'. TOPICS: ======= The 12th EUROGRAPHICS Workshops on Graphics and Cultural Heritage aims to foster an international dialogue between the different fields of expertise and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of CH scientists for managing, processing and delivering cultural information to a broader audience. Focus of this year's forum is to present and showcase new developments within the overall process chain, from data acquisition, 3D documentation, analysis and synthesis, semantical modelling, data management, to the point of virtual museums or new forms of interactive presentations and 3D printing solutions. GCH 2014 therefore provides scientists, engineers and CH managers a possibility to discuss new ICT technologies applied to data modelling, reconstruction and processing, digital libraries, virtual museums, interactive environments and applications for CH, ontologies and semantic processing, management and archiving, standards and documentation, as well as its transfer into practice. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and through publications: on-going project results, preliminary ideas and works in progress, and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage. We therefore seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in theoretical or applied areas of the digital cultural heritage domain, challenging the state of the art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. In particular: * 2/3/4D data capturing and processing in Cultural Heritage * Material acquisition and presentation * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Data acquisition technologies * Digital libraries and 3D documents * Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) * Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Visualization and Virtual Museums * 3D printing based on new appearance models * Preservation and digital archiving of artefacts * Metadata, classification schemes, ontologies and semantic processing * Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage * Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving * Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage * On-site and remotely sensed data collections * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Storytelling and design of heritage communications * Standards and documentation * Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications * Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage * New business models and technology transfer into practice GCH 2014 will also include "State-of-the-Art Reports", inspired by the EG STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of GCH. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the STAR reports. Two STAR reports will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings together with the short and project papers. GCH-STAR authors will present their work within a 60 minute presentation during GCH 2014. CONTRIBUTIONS: ============== We are seeking contributions by following means: - Full research papers (max 10 pages) presenting new innovative results: these papers will be published by Eurographics in the EG Symposium Series (diglib.eg.org/EG/DL/WS/VAST). - GCH-STAR reports providing a useful novel overview of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of this workshop series. We expect the STAR submissions as full version being available at submission deadline. Please, provide an extended abstract at abstract submission (max. 2 pages) - Short papers (max 4 pages) presenting preliminary results and work-in-progress or focusing on on-going projects, the description of project organization, use of technology, and lesson learned. These papers will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. - Tutorials and Workshops: the conference will also host half-day and full-day working sessions that provide an opportunity to get in touch with ongoing projects and cutting-edge research in the field of digital technologies for Cultural Heritage.
