International Conference on BioMedical Visualisation - MediViz05

by Stefanie Behnke

**************************************************** International Conference on BioMedical Visualisation - MediViz05 ***** http://www.graphicslink.demon.co.uk/MediViz05/ ***** **************************************************** 5 - 6 - 7 July 2005 Greenwich LONDON ENGLAND -------------------------------------------------------------- FINAL Call for Papers, Videos and Participation Aims and Scope MediViz has evolved rapidly from its original concentration purely on medical visualisation and is now possibly the leading interdisciplinary forum for researchers and professionals in the bio-medical domain to exchange ideas and report results on visualisation within their disciplines to the wider world. It thus provides important support for researchers who are faced increasingly with the necessity of adopting a multidisciplinary approach to address the problems faced in pushing forward the boundaries of modern medicine. Papers are invited that address information visualisation, from the microscopic to the macroscopic level, in biomedical, biomechanical and other related fields. These include: · quantitative imaging and measurement of biomedical structures · animation, simulation and predictive modelling · interaction, deformation, growth and evolution of biomedical structures · models, including physico-scientific, particles, implicit surfaces, finite elements, etc. · multi-modality visualisation, searching, characterisation and comparison of complex structures · surface, volume, dynamic and sensory data reduction, mapping and user representation · display and interaction technologies, including VR, augmentation, stereoscopic, haptics, etc. · image & computer applications, including screening, diagnostics, surgery & cancer therapy · human interfacing, virtual image projection, retinal projection, tactile and sound stimuli etc. · virtual and augmented reality · emerging technologies. The Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. The theme for this year's conference is "Multidimensional Bio-Medical Structure Sensing, Modelling, Simulation and Visualisation". Of particular interest is the capture and early processing of natural data to be used as input for external and internal biomedical structure definition. Papers are encouraged which demonstrate the measurement and modelling of the dynamics of biomedical data and structures; these may range from the microscopic, cellular level to the macroscopic organ or whole-patient level. These structures often undergo constrained interactions which need to be measured and realistically simulated in order to understand the fundamental processes, to facilitate the development of bio-medical products or to enable advances in critical bio-medical applications such as life-saving patient treatment. At the microscopic level, examples are the exciting developments that now visibly link nuclear and cytoplasmic structural changes in cells to drug and radiation therapies in cancer. At the macroscopic scale, examples are the characterisation, simulation and prediction of internal and external body movements for robot assisted (radio)surgery, intensity modulated and image guided (radio)therapy, and the emerging modality of ion-beam therapy. Quality of life, encompassing recovery patterns and rehabilitation following treatment is an important, but often neglected theme. In this age of evidence-based medicine, how do we objectively define and visualise recovery patterns following treatments that impact on patient mobility, hearing, speech and vision. Hence, papers addressing the evolution of new biomedical and clinical tools and their likely impact are especially welcome. Authors should submit their papers electronically, along with accompanying visualisation materials to: Anita D'Pour GraphicsLink.MediViz05 - Conference Co-ordinator P.O.

VMV2005, Call For Paper

by Stefanie Behnke

---------------------------------------------------------------- ***** CALL FOR PAPERS ***** ---------------------------------------------------------------- 10th Fall Workshop VISION, MODELING, AND VISUALIZATION 2005 (VMV2005) November 16-18, 2005 Erlangen, Germany organized by: Chair for Pattern Recognition Chair for Computer Graphics Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603: "Model-based Analysis and Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" Vision, Modeling, and Visualization are rapidly converging disciplines. For a long time, Vision and Visualization were separate fields, with their own methodology, terminology, and models. However, for many applications vision and visualization have to work hand in hand based on models that can be used in both disciplines. Prominent examples are medical sciences, where novel and improved image sensors require new integrated vision, modeling, and visualization techniques. Also, due to the proliferation of digital photography and high speed graphics accelerators, image-based modeling and the corresponding vision and visualization techniques became a research topic of highest relevancy. The DFG Graduate Research Center SFB 603 "Model-based Analysis and Visualization of Complex Scenes and Sensor Data" at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg is focused on this research area since 1998. The workshop "Vision, Modeling, and Visualization 2005" is the tenth in a series of annual meetings organized by this Research Center. After successful meetings in Erlangen, Alpbach, Saarbrücken, Stuttgart, Munich, and Stanford, the 2005 workshop returns to Erlangen. The program will consist of contributed paper and poster presentations, as well as invited talks by internationally renowned speakers. Topics: - 3-D imaging - Object localization and recognition - Volume data processing and visualization - Multi-sensor fusion and 3-D registration - Medical image processing - Medical visualization - Structure from motion and stereo - Geometry-based and image-based rendering - Geometric modeling - Scene modeling and integration - Multi-view image processing and coding - Realistic rendering - Animation - Virtual reality - Applications (medicine, robotics, fluid mechanics, manufacturing, automated inspection, virtual reality, communication, etc.) Paper Submission: Prospective attendees are invited to submit a paper up to 8 pages in final form. All submissions will be reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented orally at the workshop and appear in the proceedings.

Special Issue of the Elsevier Journal "Computers & Graphics" on: Natural Phenomena Simulation

by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Papers Special Issue of the Elsevier Journal "Computers & Graphics" on: Natural Phenomena Simulation Submission Deadline: September 30th, 2005 Journal URL: http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/cag Since the beginning of computer graphics, researchers have been attracted to visually reproduce Nature's beauty and complexity present in a myriad of phenomena, from a small water droplet to a space nebula. During this time, different approaches have been taken to simulate such phenomena. Researchers working on entertainment applications, for example, usually emphasize the believable visual representation of natural phenomena, while researchers working on scientific applications usually focus their efforts on the accuracy of the models representing the underlying natural processes. Ideally, we would like to be able to create realistic displays of natural phenomena using accurate models in a reasonable time. Such a goal highlights one the most important research challenges facing the computer graphics community today, namely the predictive simulation of natural phenomena, involving both the light interaction with matter and the dynamics of natural systems. Predictive simulations make the image synthesis process more intuitive and have a broader scope of applications, including not only believable picture making, but also scientific and medical visualization. The key issue in this context, however, consists in establishing the predictability of the models. It is not a trivial task since computer models are intrinsically less predictable than physical phenomena. Currently, two guidelines are used in the development of predictive simulations of natural phenomena. First, the models are designed to be controlled by biophysically meaningful parameters. Second, their evaluation involves comparisons of modeled results with actual measured data or the real phenomenon. In this special issue, we welcome contributions describing original research work on natural phenomena simulation, preferably taking into account the predictability guidelines outlined above. Furthermore, due to the multidisciplinary nature of this theme, special attention will be given to papers that are supported by reliable scientific data from fields including, but not limited to, oceanography, remote sensing physics, chemistry, biology and medicine, and which can also provide evidence of practical contributions to these fields. Authors are encouraged to select one or more of the following topics: Gaseous Phenomena Atmospheric Phenomena Astrophysical Phenomena Spectral Rendering of Fluids Visualization of Fluid Flow Transformation of Materials (e.g., seasonal changes, tanning, melting etc...) Biophysically-Based Rendering of Organic Materials Biophysically-Based Animation of Biological Systems Important dates: E-mail expression of interest: as soon as possible Submission of contributions: September 30th, 2005 Notification of acceptance / rejection: December 1st, 2006 Submission of final manuscripts: February 1st, 2006 Publication: August, 2006 Guest Editors for this issue: Gladimir V.
