These topics include: representation and modeling methods, content analysis, rendering, distributed virtual environments, large-scale databases, Web-wide human-computer interaction, as well as innovative tools and applications. On the one hand, authoring and delivering educational contents is one of the main interests of this edition of the conference. The creation of educational materials, such as interactive electronic technical manuals will be supported, as well as the approach to incorporate advanced real-time rendering features into the X3D standard, in a generic way that is independent from the specific rendering method. On the other hand, the conference will particularly focus on novel mobile AR applications, innovative 3D graphics Web applications and novel Medical and eHealth developments, aside from contents over 3D Internet. The annual ACM Web3D Conference is a major event that gathers researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists, and content creators in a dynamic environment. Attendees can share and explore methods of using, enhancing, and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as WebGL and HTML5, Flash 11/ Stage 3D, X3D, COLLADA, and the MPEG family. The conference highlights capabilities and trends in interactive 3D graphics across a wide range of applications and supports research from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments. Topics: * Modeling, processing, analysis and rendering of complex geometry, structure, and behaviors * 3D search, shape matching and indexing * Rendering algorithms and standardization and visualization of large data sets * Interaction methods for online 3D content * Interactive 3D graphics for mobile devices * Mixed and Augmented Reality (including standardization aspects) * Agents, animated humanoids, and complex reactive characters * Remote rendering and streaming * Stereo and multi-view visualization of 3D graphic interfaces * High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments, tele-presence, and 3D broadcasting * Web, multimedia and standards integration and interoperation.

PhD studentship in Medical Imaging and Computer Graphics at MMU

by Stefanie Behnke

Applications are invited for a 3 year University funded Ph.D. project hosted in the School of Computing, Mathematics and Digital Technology at Manchester Metropolitan University. This interdisciplinary project will expand on recent advances made at MMU and the Institute for Reproductive Medicine at the University of Warwick in microscopic embryological data processing and visualization. The aim of the current research is to develop a more detailed understanding of the molecular basis of the changing 3D organization of developing. The student will develop methods for semi-automatic segmentation targeted at 3D microscopic embryological datasets, with implementation and testing on real pre-existing datasets. Based on the segmentation results, the student will then create physically based 3D models of embryo shapes and inner structures. The segmentation and visualization of the number, shape and size of blastomeres and nuclei will provide valuable information about the potential viability of the embryo, and will assist embryologists to understand the mechanisms of developmental failure. The student will need to combine skills and interests in computer vision; C/C++ and MATLAB based implementation and physically based modeling. The student should have a good degree in Computer Science or a suitable other hard science or engineering subject. Preference will be given to students with appropriate M.Sc. or equivalent research experience. The student will receive EU fees and a stipend of £12,000 per annum. The studentship should be taken up not later than 01/September/12. The Image and Sensory Computation research group is a lively research environment, which currently has 5 academics and 6 other researchers working on a variety of projects concerning human imaging.
