Technical Paper Highlights: Video-Based Reconstruction of Animatable Human Characters http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/34 This paper presents a technique for capturing multi-view video of an actor's performance. The captured virtual actor is represented as a skeleton with surface skinning, collision proxies, and a physics-based simulation model for moving cloth. A Practical Appearance Model for Dynamic Facial Color http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/25 Human skin changes color as emotional states and types of expression change. This paper presents an appearance model based on real measurements of melanin and hemoglobin, which is efficiently coupled to a geometric facial-animation rig. Optical Computing for Fast Light Transport Analysis http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/24 This paper shows how to efficiently perform numerical computations on a scene's unknown transport matrix (eigenvector analysis, low-rank approximation, inversion) by doing them partially in optics with projectors and cameras. Context-Based Search for Models http://www.siggraph.org/asia2010/content/attendees/techpapers/28 This paper introduces a context-based search engine that uses information about the supporting scene a user is building to find good models. [Courses] SIGGRAPH Asia 2010 Courses focus on topics related to gaming, animation, and visual-effects techniques. It also includes a wide range of topics related to the basic foundations of computer graphics and highly technical summaries of the latest research breakthroughs.

EG 2011 - Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine

by Stefanie Behnke

Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine (Eurographics Medical Prize) http://eg2011.bangor.ac.uk/calls/awards.html The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition to acknowledge the contribution that computer graphics is playing in the medical field, and to encourage further development. This year the Eurographics Medical Prize has been renamed to honor Dirk Bartz who passed away far too early in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher and promoter of Visual Computing in Medicine, an active member of the Eurographics Association, and Chair of the EG Medical Prize 2007 and 2009. CALL Submissions for the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine 2011 are now being invited from researchers and developers who can demonstrate that a particular benefit has resulted from the use of computer graphics technology in a medical application that they have produced. Examples of entries could include the use of new data visualization techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. A list of winners of the last years can be found here <http://www.eg.org/EG/About/awards/HallOfFame_20100909.pdf> . The Winners The judging panel will select the winning entry on the basis of its clinical value, use made of computer graphics, and novelty.
