2nd CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
ACM/SSPNET 2nd INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON FACIAL ANALYSIS AND
ANIMATION (FAA)
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa/
School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, UK. October 21st, 2010
Important Dates:
10th September 2010: Deadline for extended abstract submission
17th September 2010: Notification of acceptance
Confirmed Keynotes:
Catherine Pelachaud, Telecom ParisTech
Bernd Bickel, Disney Research Zurich
Facial animation is a broad and exciting area of research drawing on
multiple disciplines: computer graphics and animation provide the
means to render and display a face, computer vision can be used to
measure, interpret and decode facial actions, while psychology can
help provide the emotive human element of animation. However, creating
convincing facial animation is an exceptionally difficult task – each
one of us is an expert judge in deciding whether an animation is
realistic or not. In today’s world, facial animation has more
applications than ever before: from video game characters to movie
actor doubles, from machine facial displays to psychological research
stimuli.
Following on from the success of FAA 2009 (http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa2009/
), we are pleased to announce a call for submissions for FAA 2010, in
cooperation with ACM and sponsored by SSPNET. The aim of this meeting
is to bring together researchers and practitioners from both academia
and industry – particularly in VFX and games - interested in all
aspects of facial animation and related analysis. Submissions are
invited in the following broad topic areas:
• Acquisition of Facial Shape, Motion and Texture
• Performance Driven Animation and Expression Mapping
• Facial animation using Example Based Synthesis and Motion Graph
based techniques
• Facial Animation Production Pipelines
• Visual Speech Synthesis
• Animation of Non-Linguistic Behaviors and Vocalisations
• Perception of Facial Animation and the "Uncanny Valley"
• Facial Rendering (Photorealistic and Non-Photorealistic)
Research should be submitted as a 1 page extended abstract using the
SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (see http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions)
. LaTeX and BibTeX class files following the “acmsiggraph” convention
may be downloaded from (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/acmsiggraph.zip
). An example submission may be found at (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/poster-abstract-example1.pdf
).
Submissions do not need to be anonymous. Contributions should
submitted via the following website:
https://cmt2.research.microsoft.com/FAA2010 by 10th September, 2010.
Authors of accepted submissions will have their work appear in the ACM
Digital Library (http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm). The program on the day
will consist of both oral and poster presentations, including invited
keynote talks from leading international experts.
Chairs: Darren Cosker (Uni. of Bath), Gregor Hofer (Uni. of
Edinburgh), Michael Berger (Uni. of Edinburgh) and Will Smith (Uni. of
York).

the organisers, please visit: http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/faa/contact.html
SIGGRAPH ASIA 2010, in cooperation with Eurographics
---- Call for Technical Sketches and Posters
==========================================
This is your last opportunity to contribute to SIGGRAPH ASIA 2010, in the
fascinating Seoul, Korea. The call for technical sketches and posters is
available at:
<http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/presenters/sketches-posters>
http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/presenters/sketches-posters
< <http://www.eurographics2010.se/calls/posters/>
http://www.eurographics2010.se/calls/posters/>
The Technical Sketches & Posters program provides a dynamic forum for new
and thought-provoking ideas, techniques, and applications in computer
graphics and interactive techniques. Its content ranges from academic
research to industrial development and from practical tools to
behind-the-scenes explanations of commercial and artistic work. It is ideal
for presenting innovative ideas that are not yet fully polished, high-impact
practical contributions that build on existing research, and cool "tricks"
that help users solve challenging problems.
Please note the changes in this year's program, most notably the extended
sketch length and the new multimedia poster category.
Deadline is August 30th. We are looking forwards for your submissions!
