Cyberworlds 2010: extended paper submission 14 May

by Stefanie Behnke

EXTENDED PAPER SUBMISSION: 14 MAY 2010 International Conference on Cyberworlds 20-22 October 2010, Singapore http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/SCE/cw2010 Organized by the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society. In cooperation with Eurographics Association and ACM SIGGRAPH. Supported by the Interactive Digital Media R&D Program Office, Media Development Authority of Singapore. Cyberworlds are information worlds or communities created on cyberspace by collaborating participants either intentionally or spontaneously. As information worlds, they accumulate information regardless whether or not anyone is in, and they can be with or without 2D or 3D visual graphics appearance. The examples of such cyberworlds are communities created in different social networking services, 3D shared virtual environments, and multiplayer online games. Cyberworlds are closely related to the real world and have a serious impact on it. Cyberworlds have been created and applied in such areas as e-business, e-commerce, e-manufacturing, e-learning, e-medicine, and cultural heritage, etc. Cyberworlds augment and sometimes replace the real life and become a significant component of real economy. The international conferences on Cyberworlds have being organized annually since 2002 with the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society and special issues published in The Visual Computer and other research journals. 10th in the series, CW2010 will consist of paper sessions, tutorials, industrial seminars, exhibitions and hands-on demonstrations where researchers, artists, and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field. CW2010 will have several parallel tracks including but not limited to the following topics: Shared virtual worlds; Virtual collaborative spaces; Shape modeling for cyberworlds; Virtual humans and avatars; Intelligent talking agents; Networked collaboration; Haptic interaction and rendering; Computer vision; Augmented, mixed and virtual reality; Human-computer interfaces; Cognitive informatics; Brain-computer interfaces; EEG-based emotion recognition; E-learning in virtual collaborative spaces; Multi-user web games; Art and heritage in cyberspace; Cyber-museums; Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds; Cyberethics and cyberlaws; Cybersecurity; Data mining and warehousing in cyberworlds; Social networking. CW2010 will also have a special research and industrial track for Singapore Media Development Authority Co-Space projects. Key-note talks: Tosiyasu L. Kunii "Modeling Cyberworlds" Chief Technical Advisor of Morpho, Inc., Japan and Professor Emeritus of The University of Tokyo, Japan. Nadia Thalmann "A Comprehensive Methodology to Visualize Articulations for the Physiological Human" Professor and Director of MIRALab, University of Geneva and Director of the Institute for Media Innovations, NTU, Singapore.

CFP Media Retargeting Workshop at ECCV 2010

by Stefanie Behnke

------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS ------------------- MEDIA RETARGETING WORKSHOP in conjunction with ECCV 2010, September 10, Crete, Greece 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
