Deadline extension - NPAR 2012 - Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering

by Paul Asente

The submission deadline for NPAR 2012 has been extended to March 16. NPAR 2012 — Call For Papers Submission deadline March 16, 2012 We invite you to submit your work to NPAR 2012, the 10th international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and in cooperation with Eurographics. Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) refers to computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually generate imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. NPAR 2012 is part of Expressive 2012, a joint symposium that combines NPAR with Computational Aesthetics (CAe) and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). It will be co-located with the Annecy Film Festival and will take place in Annecy, France, June 4-6, 2012. A single registration for Expressive 2012 will include all three symposia. The Expressive 2012 web site can be found at http://cae-sbim-npar-2012.inrialpes.fr/. Because accommodations during the Annecy Film Festival are at a premium, we strongly urge those submitting work to reserve a room through the festival web site at the time of submission, and then cancel their reservations should they decide not to attend. We invite researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers and posters on their work. Submitted papers should be self-classified into one of the following three categories: • Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional NPAR papers) These must contain novel results that make a substantitive contribution to the field. • Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). • Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results. Topic areas of the conference include but are not limited to: • Expressive character animation and physics • Abstraction and stylization of images/video • Interaction techniques • Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films) • NPAR in real software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) • Visual composition • Hardware acceleration • Evaluation methods for NPAR algorithms • Psychophysics of NPAR • Rendering and layout for text and presentation graphics • Quantitative analysis of human artists • Generative or evolutionary approaches • Style transfer • Temporal and spatial coherence • Adapting classic CG effects like motion blur, depth of field, and lighting for NPAR • Simulation of natural media and traditional styles • Non-traditional camera models • Position papers on grand challenges There is no absolute maximum length for paper submissions; please use the Siggraph length guidelines, found here: http://s2012.siggraph.org/submitters/technical-papers/publication-requireme…. In particular, note that papers longer than 8-10 pages must make a very significant contribution to be accepted. Papers should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH-sponsored conference formatting instructions (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions), including a title page with an abstract and keywords, and a bibliography. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Research papers are reviewed double-blind and so must be anonymous when submitted. Meta and Production papers are reviewed single-blind and the author’s reputation and institution are a factor that reviewers may consider. Information on the submission process will be available on our website. The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special section in Elsevier’s “Computers and Graphics” journal with a fast-track review process. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM SIGGRAPH and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Posters will not be archived. Posters may be submitted in PDF format as either an extended abstract or as a draft of the poster itself. Rejected papers may be considered for the poster track. Note that although the NPAR, SBIM and CAe symposia are held jointly, the paper submission and review processes are independent. Important Dates Papers submission deadline: March 16, 2012 Short track for SIGGRAPH rejected papers, with reviews: April 3, 2012 Accommodation Reservation: April 3, 2012 Acceptance notification: April 23, 2012 Papers Camera-ready deadline: May 1, 2012 Poster submission deadline: May 7, 2012 Conference: June 4-6, 2012 All deadlines are at 17:00 (5pm) Pacific Daylight Savings Time.

PhD studentship in Computer Graphics at MMU

by Stefanie Behnke

PhD studentship in Computer Graphics at MMU 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, GPUs and real-time processing; 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/July/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.
