Eurographics Workshop on Urban Data Modelling and Visualisation
2nd edition
April 6th 2014 - Strasbourg, France
http://udmv.udg.edu/2014
Important dates:
- December 16, 2013: Call for papers
- January 24, 2014: Paper submission
- March 7, 2014: Author notification
- March 21, 2014: Camera-Ready Paper Due
- April 6, 2014: Workshop date
The objective of this workshop is to discuss the modelling and visualisation of the city at various temporal and spatial scales, and aims at sharing associated techniques, methods, uses and points of view.
Managing and understanding urban data are major issues as there are represented by several kind of different data at different scales. Urban data not only embed the geometry of the city model, but also data related to human activities (eg. social data, transports, mobility, history), to physical phenomenon (eg. light, wind, heat), and to environment (eg. geography, climate).
Thus, the processing of urban data is a huge challenge for current computing capabilities, specially considering all the sustainable development parameters related to architectural design, urban planning and urban climate studies; but also considering the specific needs of entertainment, cultural heritage or any domains using urban data.
The issues found in urban data modelling and visualisation are shared by various domains (eg. Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, Human-Computer Interface, GIS, Conceptual Modelling and others) and are related to data quality, the complexity of the cities and the decision-making processes.
Contributions addressing the following topics are welcome:
- Modelling the static and dynamic features of the city (spatio-temporal data)
- Multi-scale geometric data (from building scale to urban scale)
- Multi-scale temporal data (from real time to history time)
- Visualisation of several urban data layers (aggregated indicators)
- Visual analytics using urban data (decision making processes and CAD)
- Acquisition and generation of real or realistic urban data
Publication
Expected contributions are research papers, 6 pages in EG publication format, presenting unpublished methods, algorithms and techniques with established results.
All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference by one of the authors, and will be published in the EG Digital Library.

Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2014 (3DOR'14)
-----------------------------------------------------------
A co-event of Eurographics 2014
April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg, France
http://3dor2014.ensea.fr/
NEW: the submission deadline has been extended to December 22nd, 2013.
# Important dates
December 22, 2013: Paper submissions due (!! EXTENDED DEADLINE !!!)

April 6, 2014: Workshop takes place
# 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series
3D object representations have become an integral part of modern computer
graphics applications, such as computer-aided design, game development and
film production. At the same time, 3D data have become very common in
various domains such as computer vision, computational geometry, molecular
biology and medicine.
Indeed, the rapid evolution in graphics hardware and software, in particular
the availability of low cost 3D scanners and modeling tools, has greatly
facilitated 3D model acquisition, creation, and manipulation, giving the
opportunity to a large user community to experience applications using 3D
models. As the number of 3D models is growing rapidly, the problem of
creating new 3D models has shifted to the problem of searching for existing
3D models. Thereupon, the development of efficient search mechanisms is
required for the effective retrieval of 3D objects from large repositories.
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 the
common goal of 3D object retrieval, to present state-of-the-art work in the
field. This will provide a cross-fertilization ground that will stimulate
discussions on the next steps in this important research area.
3DOR 2014 will be the seventh workshop in this series and will take place on
April 6, 2014 in Strasbourg (France), one day before Eurographics 2014.
# Call for Papers, Posters and System Demonstrations
Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and
practical applications in all areas of 3D Object Retrieval. Submissions are
invited in the form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system
presentations. Further information about paper format and submission will be
available on the workshop website soon.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- 3D object similarity and matching
- 3D object classification, indexing, and mining
- Similarity of non-rigid shapes
- Feature extraction, decomposition, and segmentation
- Multi-level representations for matching and retrieval
- Partial 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
- Generative / Discriminative approaches in 3D object
categorization
- Applications in Multimedia, CAD, and Games industry
- Applications in Biometrics, e-Science, e-Learning, Medicine,
Biology, and Cultural Heritage
- Multimedia Information Retrieval
This year's workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation
Contest (SHREC'2014). A separate call for participation will be issued.
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. Selected papers from previous workshops appeared in special issues
of The Visual Computer (TVC) journal.

exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in
parallel graphics and visualization.
The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium will be published in the Eurographics
Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library.
Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and
visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for:
· large-data
· clusters
· (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures
· out-of-core
· hybrid distributed and shared memory architectures
· grid and cloud environments
In particular the symposium topics include:
· computationally and data intensive rendering
· scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow and tensor
visualization)
· information visualization and visual analytics
· simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation,
collision detection, acoustic)
· mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods
· visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image
processing and exploitation, segmentation)
· scheduling, memory management and data coherence
· large and high resolution displays, virtual environments
