Jobs: 15 PhD position in MSCA-ITN-ETN CLIPE

by Eurographics Mailing List

We are pleased to announce 15 PhD research positions within the MSCA-ITN-ETN CLIPE (Creating Lively Interactive Populated Environments) CLIPE ( <http://clipe-itn.eu/> http://clipe-itn.eu/ ) is a Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in the framework of Horizon 2020, starting on March 1st, 2020 with a four-year duration. The network consists of 9 universities/research centers and 5 industrial partners. The primary objective of CLIPE is to train a generation of innovators and researchers in the field of virtual characters simulation and animation. Advances in technology are pushing towards making VR/AR worlds a daily experience. Whilst virtual characters are an important component of these worlds, bringing them to life and giving them interaction and communication abilities requires highly specialized programming combined with artistic skills, and considerable investments: millions spent on countless coders and designers to develop video-games is a typical example. The research objective of CLIPE is to design the next-generation of VR-ready characters. CLIPE is addressing the most important current aspects of the problem, making the characters capable of: * behaving more naturally; * interacting with real users sharing a virtual experience with them; * being more intuitively and extensively controllable for virtual worlds designers. To meet our objectives, the CLIPE consortium gathers some of the main European actors in the field of VR/AR, computer graphics, computer animation, psychology and perception. CLIPE also extends its partnership to key industrial actors of populated virtual worlds, giving students the ability to explore new application fields and start collaborations beyond academia. Starting date is by September 2020. For more information about the project can be found in the attached file, and in the project web site: <http://clipe-itn.eu/> http://clipe-itn.eu/

13th EG Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2020 (3DOR'20) - Short Papers by July 1, 2020

by Eurographics Mailing List

========================================================= 13th EG Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval 2020 (3DOR'20) ========================================================= in Cooperation with Eurographics and Elsevier September 4-5, 2020 Graz University of Technology, Austria https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020 ========================================================= Call for Short Papers Important Dates: Short Paper Submissions for EG Digital Library (8 pages) -------------------------------------------------------------- July 1: Short paper submission July 30: Short paper notification Short papers will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. For information how to submit, please see https://workshop.cgv.tugraz.at/3dor2020/submission.php 3D Object Retrieval Workshop Series ----------------------------------- From the very beginning, the aim of the 3DOR Workshop series is to stimulate researchers to present state-of-the-art work, learn about or discuss topics in the field 3D object retrieval, search and exploration in a multi-disciplinary context of expertise such as Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning, Cognitive Science and Human-Computer Interaction. 3DOR provides a cross-fertilization that will stimulate discussions on the next steps in this important research area. 3DOR 2020 will be the 13th workshop in this series. Search engines are now the default way in which most people engage with information, as the vast majority of information is born digital. 3D digital content is today pervasive: low-cost 3D scanners, 3D printers, and powerful modelling software have made 3D models appeal to an increasing audience. Repositories of 3D objects are rapidly growing in both number and size. Time-dependant acquisition, animation and simulation give rise to 3D objects as a function of time, yielding 4D objects. Yet, the task of exploring such large 3D/4D object repositories and retrieving the models of interest remains a challenging problem. It is crucial to develop algorithms for content-based searching of 3D object collections; creating compact and accurate descriptors for 3D objects; creating efficient storage structures for databases of 3D objects; investigating theoretical aspects of practical importance, such as the definition of the similarity concept; interfaces for content-based 3D object search; visualization techniques for 3D search results; real time aspects of techniques and algorithms; new challenges such as faceted 3D browsing, social search and navigation of hybrid datasets. The complex yet concrete problems above are drawing increasing attention from the research community, which is becoming more and more varied in terms of disciplines needed to solve various facets of the challenges. The 3DOR Workshop series has been characterized since the beginning by a specific attention to benchmarking with the organization of the session on the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest (SHREC). The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval methods and algorithms. SHREC 2020 is the 15th edition of the contest. As in previous years, it is organized in conjunction with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval. Call for Papers --------------- Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers addressing all areas of 3D/4D Object Retrieval. State of the art papers on specific topics of interest are particularly welcome. Submissions are invited in the form of full papers, which will be peer-reviewed by a two-stage review process, and published as a special section of Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Also, short papers are invited, which will follow a one-stage review process and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: 3D/4D shape analysis 3D/4D shape similarity and matching 3D/4D mesh sequence retrieval 3D/4D mobile media retrieval 3D/4D search in large scale data 3D/4D object classification, indexing, and mining Similarity of non-rigid shapes Shape correspondence 3D/4D shape decomposition, and segmentation Partial, part-in-whole, and many-to-many matching Matching under uncertainty and noise Semantics-driven 3D/4D object retrieval and classification Sketch-based retrieval Query interfaces and search modalities Benchmarking issues Deep learning for 3D/4D shape retrieval Generative/discriminative approaches in 3D object categorization Visual Analytics for 3D similarity assessment Applications in all areas relevant to 3D/4D objects, including multimedia and information systems, CAD, architecture, games, biometrics, e-science, e-learning, medicine, biology, and cultural heritage, among others.

CFP -- MAM2020

by Eurographics Mailing List

MAM 2020 MAM 2020, the 8th annual Workshop on Material Appearance Modeling, will be held virtually (i.e. via electronic platforms rather than physically) June 29, 2020 just prior to EGSR 2020 https://egsr2020.london/ . Position papers are due June 15, 2020. Types of position papers include (but are not restricted to, just write and ask if in doubt!): Submissions comparing methods for creating/editing bsdf/btf, measuring appearance or fitting data to appearance models Many systems have been proposed for creating/editing materials, measuring existing ones and fitting data to appearance models. Comparisons of existing editing systems, acquisition systems, or model fitting methods can be very useful for uncovering areas where additional research is needed. Submissions proposing/comparing nomenclature for appearance There are various aspects of the vocabulary we use to describe appearance. We can potentially develop a very precise vocabulary for describing code that is implemented for different scattering functions. Can we develop a vocabulary that is useful for material design? Submissions from industrial users or potential users of digital material models Suitable topics of this type include description of practical applications of digital models and problems that have been encountered. Are there some materials that aren't possible to model with current methods? Do some software systems fail to successfully predict appearance? Are there some desirable editing operations that aren't possible with current systems? Submissions from researchers on their view of the grand challenges in material appearance What are the big problems we still need to solve? Are there significant problems that require solution of wave equations that we still can't handle? Are there problems that require physical property data that we don't know how to get? Do we need better perceptual models? What are the material appearance modeling problems associated with 3D printing? Submissions from all groups describing acquisition systems and performance Technical papers typically describe the design of systems and initial results. Reports of practical experience with system are needed, including reports on what works well, and what works poorly. This type of “experience” report is needed to move the field forward but is not eligible for publication in traditional conferences and journals. Reflections and extensions If you recently had a journal paper (including Eurographics and SIGGRAPH papers) on material appearance modeling and have additional data, information or insights about the work beyond what was presented in the original paper, you are welcome to present these at the workshop. Submit an abstract summarizing what you will present that augments the original paper. Fabricating material appearance 3D printing systems are becoming available for reproducing color and gloss. Papers on fabrication issues are welcome. Submission All submissions should be four pages or less in length, using the Style Guide (see https://egsr2020.london/mam/). The deadline for submissions is JUNE 15, 2020. Submissions and any questions should be sent via email to the workshop organizers: Holly Rushmeier (holly(a)acm.org <mailto:holly@acm.org> ), Reinhard Klein (rk(a)cs.uni-bonn.de <mailto:rk@cs.uni-bonn.de> )

STAG 2020 - Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics

by Eurographics Mailing List

STAG 2020 - Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics, November 12-13, 2020 https://www.micc.unifi.it/stag2020/ CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS Smart Tools and Applications in Graphics (STAG) is an annual international conference organized by the Italian Chapter of the Eurographics Association (EG). For its seventh edition the conference will be held on November 12-13, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the conference will be held in a virtual forum using a video conferencing platform. It is our intention to retain as much of the conference programme as is practical, including all paper presentations and keynotes. The aim of STAG is the dissemination of research activities and novel ideas on both theoretical and application oriented aspects of Computer Graphics, bringing together researchers and practitioners from both national and international scientific communities to share their latest developments. Contributions on new ways to solve real problems, clever solutions to optimize or otherwise improve techniques and algorithms for real-world applications are encouraged. System, libraries, and workflow papers with impact on real-world applications are also welcome. We encourage submissions in all areas of Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Visual Computing, and related disciplines. This year, we invite contributions in the form of full papers, and we will host, as usual, the EG-Italy thesis award ceremony. Papers will be included in the STAG proceedings, and published in the Eurographics Digital Library. For submission information please visit https://micc.unifi.it/stag2020/submission/ From all accepted papers, an international jury will assign the best paper award. Authors of a selection of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work to a Special Issue of the Computers & Graphics Journal (Elsevier). Important dates Papers submission: September 13, 2020 Notification: October 18, 2020 Camera Ready: October 25, 2020 Conference: November 12-13, 2020
