CALL FOR PAPERS
Aging and Weathering
- Special Section of Computers & Graphics -

cial-section-aging-weathering/>

ial-section-aging-weathering/
Submission deadline: October 1, 2013
Guest Editors:
Stéphane Mérillou, Université de Limoges
Carles Bosch, Universitat de Girona
AIMS AND SCOPE:
Aging and weathering have been very active research fields for many years
now.
Due to the complexity and variety of materials change in appearance, such
topics are of interest for a very large part of the Computer Graphics
community. Aging and weathering phenomena often involve changes in
reflection properties, color, and geometry, simultaneously and over time.
Moreover, the characteristics of the surrounding environment, the shape of
the objects and their material properties influence all these processes.
Despite recent advances in simulation and reproduction techniques, there are
many challenges still worth pursuing in this area. New aging models are
required for reproducing specific effects, both at single and multiple
levels of detail. Furthermore, combining multiple effects and using advanced
contextual information are necessary to further enrich aging models. In
addition, dealing with large-scale scenes requires more efficient and
flexible approaches, providing more user control than that afforded in many
present-day techniques.
In this Special Section, we seek contributions spanning all aspects of aging
and weathering, ranging from modeling to rendering, as well as from theory
to practice.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* First-principle simulations for aging and weathering
* Procedural models
* Example-based and data-driven methods
* Image-based approaches
* Acquisition procedures and representation of time-varying data
* Real-time techniques
* Perceptual aspects of aging and weathering
* Applications
* Validation techniques
If you are not sure whether a given idea or topic would suit this Special
Section, please contact the Guest Editors.

The Advanced Medical Imaging and Visualisation Unit is a partnership between
the Research Institute of Visual Computing (with members from the computer
science departments of Aberystwyth, Bangor, Cardiff and Swansea
Universities) and the NHS in Wales. It is funded by a grant of £1.2 million
from the National Institute for Social Care and Health Research (NISCHR).
The unit works on state-of-the-art research projects that deliver medical
imaging and visualization technology to hospitals.
We are seeking an excellent research officer to carry out collaborative
research in this exciting and challenging area of computer science.
The successful candidate will be expected to start September 2013 and the
position is available until March 2015 and will be based at the School of
Computer Science, Bangor University. The closing date for the position is
Friday, 19th July 2013.

5 research positions in visual computing at the Expertise centre for Digital
Media in Diepenbeek, Belgium
Following the acquisition of several new R&D projects, the visual computing
research group of the Expertise centre for Digital Media (EDM) in
Diepenbeek, Belgium, has 5 vacancies for young researchers. The projects
relate to compressive sensing, light field cameras and displays, 360 degrees
video and free viewpoint video, 3D shape reconstruction, reconstruction of
light reflection properties, augmented reality, and high dynamic range
imaging.
Two positions are financed for a period of 4 years by the Hasselt University
research fund, and require the candidate to perform fundamental research
towards a PhD degree.
Three positions are opened in the context of new EU FP7 international
collaborative research and development projects focussing on computational
multi-camera technology for movie production and TV broadcasting. These
projects enable a candidate to obtain a PhD degree eventually, but are also
open for candidates not aiming for a PhD degree in the first place. These
projects have a duration of 3 years. EDM participates in these projects as a
part of the iMinds research institute.
The envisaged start date of all 5 positions is October 2013.
About us:
The Expertise centre for Digital Media (EDM, www.edm.uhasselt.be) is a lab
of Hasselt University, and part of the iMinds research institute. EDM was
founded in 1987 and currently hosts over 60 researchers and staff in visual
computing and human computer interaction. EDM covers the full spectrum from
basic research - with publications at top-conferences such as ACM SIGGRAPH
and IEEE CVPR - to contract R&D, and has given rise to 8 spin-off companies
since 1991.
iMinds (www.iminds.be) is an independent research institute founded by the
Flemish (Dutch-language Belgium) government, aiming at a lasting and
positive impact on society through innovation in ICT. iMinds mission is to
create highly competent human capital in different aspects of ICT through
multi-disciplinary demand-driven research. This includes all technological,
legal and social dimensions of development and exploitation.
iMinds unites over 1.000 researchers, in 5 research departments, and has
carried out over 250 R&D projects in its core competence areas Internet,
Media & Imaging, Health, Security and Digital Society. Many of these
projects are of a large scale and visibility in the region. iMinds
researchers are embedded in research labs spread over several universities
in Flanders, including the Expertise centre for Digital Media (EDM) of
Hasselt University.
EDM is located on the science park in Diepenbeek, Belgium, near the city of
Hasselt. Hasselt (www.hasselt.be) is a bustling and charming town of about
74.000 inhabitants and 14.000 students at 1 hour or less driving from
Brussels, Antwerp, Liege (Belgium), Maastricht, Eindhoven (Netherlands), and
Aachen (Germany). Hasselt is characterised by a high quality of living
(ranked 2nd of 20 Belgian cities in June 2012) at an affordable cost of
living, and is an attraction pole for creative young people.
Your job:
You will be a member of the scientific research team at EDM. Depending on
the project, you will enjoy a scholarship from Hasselt University, or be on
the payroll of iMinds.
As usual for researchers in an academic environment, you
- will be responsible for acquiring and maintaining an accurate and complete
understanding of the academic and industrial state of the art in the project
topic;
- will carry out original technological research and development advancing
the state of the art;
- will disseminate research results in leading scientific fora;
- will work autonomously to a high degree, with support and advice from the
visual computing group staff and colleagues.
Researchers on the more applied collaborative R&D projects
- will demonstrate research outcomes in concrete real-world applications,
concerning computational multi-camera methods for movie production and TV
broadcasting, together with renowned companies and research institutes
active in that field all-over Europe;
- will be responsible for day-to-day communication with project partners;
- will report research activities in project documentation aimed at less
expert readers, besides scientific publications.
Your profile:
Candidates hold a master degree in an exact scientific discipline, with
specialisation in computer vision, computer graphics and/or image
processing. Also students, who are expected to graduate by the summer of
2013, are warmly welcome to apply.
The ideal candidate:
- is bright, studious, and passionate about the topic : in order to not only
understand the state of the art, but to also advance the state of the art;
- is proficient in implementing visual computing concepts : be able to turn
theory into working C++ code, mastering or be motivated to learn GPU
programming a.o.;
- is able to work autonomously, yet is a team player;
- has excellent English reading, writing and oral communication skills.
Our offer:
EDM provide successful candidates with a stimulating, dynamic and flexible
work environment with young colleagues, a network with world class research
laboratories and companies in the field of visual computing in Belgium and
abroad, the opportunity for research stays abroad, an attractive salary (in
the order of 1800 Euro per month net, with social security and health
insurance covered by the employer) and extra-legal benefits.
