CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------- MEDIA RETARGETING WORKSHOP in conjunction with ECCV 2010, September 10, Crete, Greece <http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/MRW2010> http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/MRW2010 OVERVIEW Media retargeting is the process of adapting media content such as images or video to the characteristics of different output devices. Media retargeting has received considerable attention in computer vision and graphics research in the recent years due to the growing variability in capture devices and displays (small displays in mobile devices, large high resolution displays in home cinema systems) and the availability of huge amounts of image and video data. Besides converting video between different display sizes, the spectrum of problems related to media retargeting also comprises issues such as color adaptation between different dynamic ranges, or the automatic conversion of 2D to 3D footage for upcoming stereoscopic consumer display devices. The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners from all areas of computer vision, machine learning, and computer graphics, and to stimulate the discussion about shared concepts and recent progress on topics ranging from perceptual content analysis over efficient optimization algorithms for retargeting to systematic evaluation of already existing techniques. CALL FOR PARTICIPATION We invite high quality, original submissions for presentation during the workshop. Contributions from the following areas are especially welcome: * video or image retargeting of aspect ratio and resolution * color retargeting between low and high dynamic ranges * visual saliency estimation * attention estimation and perceptual metrics * temporal retargeting and content summarization * retargeting of stereoscopic content * monocular video to stereo conversion * relevant optimization techniques * systematic evaluation and user studies of relevant methods * perceptual studies of retargeting results * multi-modal retargeting (e.g. video and sound) DATES * Full paper submission: June 16, 2010 * Notification of acceptance: July 9, 2010 * Camera ready version of accepted papers: July 13, 2010 KEYNOTE SPEAKER * Ariel Shamir, Efi Arazi School of Computer Science, Herzliya ORGANIZERS * Thomas Deselaers, ETH Zurich * Alexander Hornung, Disney Research Zurich * Olga Sorkine, New York University

Computers & Graphics, Special Issue on Semantic 3D Media and Content

by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Papers The goal of the special issue is to collect a broad range of papers on perspective applications of 3D content, a rapidly emerging new form of media in the semantic multimedia panorama and an extremely challenging context of application of semantic multimedia. The issue is promoted by the FP7 EC FOCUS K3D project, and it is expected to provide an up-to-date view of the open issues in knowledge intensive 3D media, and trace future research and technological directions. The special issue addresses scientists not only in Computer Graphics but also in all the disciplines that make strong use of 3D modelling and simulation; professional developers of tools for 3D content creation and management; publishers/dealers of online 3D repositories; creators of digital 3D content. We call for contribution on topics related to semantic 3D media and applications, including but not limited to: * semantics-based 3D modelling and processing * semantics-driven 3D shape segmentation * content-based 3D retrieval and classification * semantics-driven 3D visualization * 3D media ontologies * formalization of shape semantics * smart objects and virtual characters * automatic creation of imaginary worlds * semantics-driven interaction in D worlds Contributions should be formatted according to the Elsevier style guide and submitted online (http://ees.elsevier.com/cag/). Detailed instructions will be made available on the web site of the FOCUS K3D project (http://www.focusk3d.eu). All submissions will undergo a two-stages review cycle according to the standard of the Computers & Graphics Journal. Guest Editors Bianca Falcidieno (IMATI-CNR, Italy) and Ivan Herman (CWI, NL) Papers due: 30th May 2010 Revisions 1st cycle: 15th July 2010 Revised papers due: 30th August 2010 Revisions 2nd cycle: 30th September 2010 Camera-ready: 15th October The production and processing of digital 3D content was and still is a traditional field of expertise of Computer Graphics, but only recently 3D entered the multimedia world. In the near future 3D data will represent a huge amount of traffic and data stored and transmitted using Internet technologies. 3D media, as a term which encompasses all forms of digital content about 3D objects used and managed in networked environments, are not only fancy-looking graphics used in entertainment applications : 3D media are endowed with a high knowledge value carried either by the expertise needed to design them or by the information content itself. 3D media are key in many applied sectors such as Medicine and Bioinformatics, Gaming and Simulation, CAD/CAE and Virtual Product Modelling, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage. In these applied sectors, representing a complex shape in its complete life-cycle stages is known to be highly non trivial, due to the sheer mass of information involved and the complexity of the knowledge that a shape can reveal as the result of a modelling process. 3D media introduced therefore a new kind of content in the multimedia scenario. At the same time, research on semantic multimedia, as the deep integration of semantic web techniques with multimedia analysis tools, has shown how to use and share content of multiple forms, endowed with some kind of intelligence, accessible in digital form and in distributed or networked environments. The success of semantic multimedia largely depends on the extent at which we will be able to use them in systems that provide efficient and effective search capabilties, analysis mechanisms, and intuitive re-use and creation facilities, at the level of content, semantics and context.

VAST 2010: 11th Symposium on Virtual reality Archaeology and Cultural Heritage

by Stefanie Behnke

VAST 2010: 11th Symposium on Virtual reality Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Ecole de Louvre, Palais du Louvre, Paris, September 21st-24th 2010 2nd Call for Papers Submission Deadlines: 20th May 2010 Science Technology & Museums: A Challenge for the New Decade In the 21st century the use of digital technology is a common practice in every day of our lives, contributing to the development, management and delivery of the information that surrounds our environment. Archaeologists and Cultural Heritage scientists as well as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) experts have in the past collaborated to find solutions to optimise all aspects of managing and delivering cultural information to new generations, but there remain many unsolved problems. The goal of this VAST will be to build on the open dialogue between these different areas of expertise, and in particular allow ICT experts to have a better understanding of the critical requirements of the CH scientists for managing and delivering cultural information. The result of this interaction will be disseminated through use of innovative digital techniques in research and education for Cultural Heritage and through publications: on-going project results; preliminary ideas and works in progress; and overviews of research in the use of digital technology in the context of Cultural Heritage. We are seeking contributions that advance the state of the art in the technologies available to support cultural heritage. In particular: * 2/3/4D data capture and processing in Cultural Heritage * Augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Data acquisition technologies * Digital Libraries * Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) * Interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Long term preservation of digital artefacts * Metadata, classification schema, ontologies and semantic processing * Multilingual applications, tools and systems for Cultural Heritage * Multimedia data acquisition, management and archiving * Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for Cultural Heritage * On-site and remotely sensed data collection * Professional and ethical guidelines * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Standards and documentation * Storytelling and design of heritage communications * Tools for education and training in Cultural Heritage * Usability, effectiveness and interface design for Cultural Heritage Applications * Visualization Other relevant works concerning the application of technology to Cultural Heritage not directly included in the above categories are also welcome for submission. BEST PAPERS AWARD The best papers presented at VAST 2010 will be selected for possible extension and review for inclusion in a special edition of the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (JOCCH). JOCCH is published online during the year and then a hardcopy volume is produced at the end of the year. VAST-STARs VAST 2010 will include the "VAST-STate-of-the-Art Reports (VAST-STARs)", inspired by the EG STARs. These are longer papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of VAST. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the VAST-STARs reports. Two VAST-STARs will be selected by peer review and published in the local proceedings together with the short and project papers. The VAST-STARs will be eligible for the special issue on Cultural Heritage on Elsevier's Computers and Graphics (C&G, to be confirmed). VAST-STARs authors will present their work with a 60 minute presentation during VAST 2010. PAPER SUBMISSIONS We are soliciting five types of contributions: * Full research papers presenting new innovative results: these papers will be published by Eurographics in the EG Symposium (ISSN 1881-864X). * VAST-STARs providing a useful novel overview of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of VAST. * Project papers focusing on on-going projects, the description of project organization, use of technology, and lesson learned, but do not necessarily involving innovative technical content. These papers will have an oral presentation and will be included in a "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. Authors will have the option to present a poster during the breaks to provide more information regarding the project. * Short papers and posters presenting preliminary results and works-in-progress. These papers will have an oral presentation and will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. * Tutorials and Workshops: half-day and full-day working sessions that provide an opportunity to educate and share on key topics of interest face-to-face. Suitable tutorial documentation will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. Workshops that provide supplementary material in time for the CD-ROM printing will also be included. All submissions will be reviewed and feedback given to the authors. See detailed information on the VAST 2010 website under Submissions.
