NPAR 2012 — Call For Papers
Submission deadline March 14, 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All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution.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.

The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) is the premier venue
for disseminating new research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry
processing. In this research area, concepts from applied mathematics,
computer science, and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms
for acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and transmission
of complex 3D models.
In 2012, SGP will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, from July 16 to 18. As in
2011, SGP will offer a graduate school on July 14-15 and a software award.
We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics
in geometry processing:
- Geometry and topology representations
- Scanning, reconstruction, reverse engineering

- Interactive techniques
- Geometric aspects of rendering and other fields
Proceedings
The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular electronic issue of Computer
Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association.
The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process
with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based
on the revised submissions.
Posters
A poster session will provide an additional informative look into ongoing
research. Submissions with high potential but which have not been accepted
as papers will be invited to be presented in a poster session during the
symposium.
Graduate School
There will be a two-day tutorial on geometry processing on July 14-15,
specifically targeted towards graduate students. The courses will be taught
by leading experts in the field and complemented by hands-on practical
exercises to obtain an in-depth knowledge of the most important aspects of
digital geometry processing.
Software Award
To encourage the distribution of useful, high quality software in geometry
processing, since SGP 2011 there is an award for freely available software
related to or useful for geometry processing. Please send nominations and
applications for the software award to

# 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 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.
The 5th Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval (3DOR 2012) is a
co-event of the 33rd Annual Conference of the European Association for
Computer Graphics (Eurographics 2012). The workshop will take place on May
13, 2012 in Cagliari, Italy.
# 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 form of full and short papers, as well as poster and system
presentations. 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, part-in-whole, 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, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning,
medicine, biology, and cultural heritage.
This years workshop will also feature the 7th Shape Retrieval Evaluation
Contest (SHREC2012). A separate call for participation will be issued later
on.
Extended versions of selected papers from the Workshop will appear, after a
further review, in special issues of international journals. Selected papers
from previous workshops appeared in special issues of The Visual Computer
(TVC) journal and the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV)
published by Springer.
