3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007: Call for Participation

by Stefanie Behnke

3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION PROGRAM and REGISTRATION online at: http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Venue: September 4, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************** INVITED SPEAKER --------------- JERRY TESSENDORF Principal Graphics Scientist, Rhythm and Hues Studios, USA Talk Title: "PHENOMENAL FILM EFFECTS" ABSTRACT Visual effects in films today can be highly realistic computer graphic imagery of natural environments and physical phenomena. Produced with a very big palette of software tools, the algorithmic routes to these images are sometimes based on the underlying physical phenomenology, and sometimes not. In this talk we consider several effects-heavy scenes in recent films, looking in detail at the computer graphics software and algorithms used and what physical and unphysical notions motivated the choices made. SHORT BIOGRAPHY Jerry Tessendorf is Principal Graphics Scientist at Rhythm and Hues Studios, where he builds new graphics tools for visual effects. The list of films he has contributed fx software to includes Titanic, The 13th Warrior, Red Planet, The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, SuperMan Returns, and Happy Feet.Prior to working in visual effects, he was a Corporate Senior Scientist at the research company Arete Associates. Dr. Tessendorf has a PhD in theoretical physics from Brown University, and his research includes techniques in dynamical simulation, ocean optics, and volume rendering. WORKSHOP AIMS AND SCOPE ----------------------- Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. WORKSHOP FORMAT --------------- The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007 Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic) to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events. The workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. ORGANISING COMMITTEE -------------------- Workshop Chairs * Eric Galin (FR) * Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Chairs * David Ebert (US) * Stéphane Mérillou (FR) ************************************************************** For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr. **************************************************************

VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2007 (VMV2007): CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

* CALL FOR PAPERS * 12th Fall Workshop VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2007 (VMV2007) http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/vmv2007 November 7-9, 2007 Saarbrücken, Germany Vision, modeling, and visualization are rapidly converging disciplines. Often the three fields are treated separately, each with their own methodology, terminology, and formalism. However, in many applications they must work hand in hand - evoking cross-fertilization and new research directions. Prominent examples are image and video-based rendering, 3D-TV, and medical visualization. Also, due to the proliferation of digital photography and high-speed graphics accelerators, image-based modeling and the corresponding vision and visualization techniques have become a research topic of highest relevance. The "Vision, Modeling, and Visualization 2007" workshop addresses the entire spectrum of techniques and applications in this combined field: from data acquisition over processing to visualization, including perceptional issues. This workshop is the twelfth in a series of annual meetings organized by different research centers and groups. After highly successful meetings at various locations, this year's event will take place in Saarbrücken. The program will consist of contributed papers and poster presentations, as well as invited talks by internationally renowned speakers. Topics: * Animation * Computational Photography * Geometric Modeling * Hardware-accelerated Image Processing and Rendering * HDR Imaging * Human Perception and Error Measures * Illumination and Reflectance Modeling * Image and Video-based Rendering * Large-scale Acquisition, Processing, and Visualization * Medical Image Processing and Visualization * Motion and Tracking * Multi-view Image Processing and Coding * Multi-sensor Fusion * Object Localization and Recognition * Realistic Rendering * Shape Deformation * Shape Representation * Segmentation and Grouping * Statistical Methods and Learning * Structure from Motion and Stereo * Texture Analysis and Synthesis * Uncertainty Visualization * Virtual and Augmented Reality * Visualization of Time-varying and Multivariate Data * Volume, Flow, Vector, and Tensor Visualization * Volumetric Imaging * Applications Paper Submission: Prospective attendees are invited to submit a paper of up to 10 pages with color images in the conference style. All submissions will be double-blind reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop and appear in the proceedings. Authors should obtain the author's package (including LaTeX style-file) from the conference web page (http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/vmv2007). The author's package provides complete information concerning the submission process. All communication will be electronic and questions should be addressed to vmv2007(a)mpi-inf.mpg.de.

RT07: Deadline approaching

by Stefanie Behnke

This is a kind reminder that the submission deadline of the RT07 http://rt07.uni-ulm.de is on June, 14. Please submit your work by using the Eurographics SRM submission and reviewing system, which can be reached through http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_RT2007 You will have to register with the system to create an account. Please read the submission instructions carefully, they contain a lot of useful advice and a link to download the LaTeX author toolkit. Due to the automated publication procedure required by IEEE, please be prepared to create documents where all fonts (all fonts referenced in your document, even those whose characters are not used) are embedded. Posters should be submitted along with a one page document (using the LaTeX author toolkit). The poster and the document can be identical, if desired. Unless otherwise indicated, one page documents will be considered as posters. Best regards, -Alexander Keller and Per Christensen, Co-Chairs of RT07
