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 …
[View More]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

Cyberworlds are …
[View More]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;

First Call for Papers
The Third International Conference on Motion in Games 2010 (MIG 2010)
November 14-16, 2010, Zeist, the Netherlands
http://www.motioningames.org
Important Dates:
Paper submission: July 8, 2010
Notification of acceptance: August 24, 2010
Camera ready paper: September 3, 2010
Games have become a very important medium for both education and
entertainment. Motion plays a …
[View More]crucial role in computer games. Characters
move around, objects are manipulated or move due to physical constraints,
entities are animated, and the camera moves through the scene. Even the
motion of the player nowadays is used as input to games. Motion is currently
studied in many different areas of research, including graphics and
animation, game technology, robotics, simulation, computer vision, and also
physics, psychology, and urban studies. Cross-fertilization between these
communities can considerably advance the state-of-the-art in this area. The
goal of the Motion in Games conference is to bring together researchers from
this variety of fields to present the most recent results and to initiate
collaboration. The conference is organized by the Dutch research project
GATE. The conference will consist of a regular paper session, as well as
presentations by a selection of internationally renowned speakers in the
field of games and simulations.
Authors are invited to submit a paper of 6-10 pages in the Springer LNCS
format. The conference proceedings will be published as a volume in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science series (Springer).
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Animation Systems
Animation Algorithms and Techniques
Character Animation
Behavioral Animation
Facial Animation
Particle Systems
Simulation of Natural Environments
Natural Motion Simulation
Virtual Humans
Crowd Simulation
Path Planning
Navigation and Way-finding

Committee members on the basis of technical quality, novelty,
significance, and clarity.
The SCA'10 electronic proceedings will be archived in the EG and ACM
digital libraries.
Extraordinarily good submissions will be invited to submit extended
papers to ACM Transaction on Graphics (TOG). Authors of some rejected
papers with high potential will be invited to submit their work to a
combined posters & demos track. In addition to the technical papers
and the posters & demos track, the conference program will also
include an animation track.
