The recent large-scale diffusion of 3D printers and numerically controlled milling machines shifted the manufacturing landscape from the production of many copies of identical objects to a market for unique, personalized designs, allowing smart and low-cost manufacturing of a variety of objects in different contexts. To support the design and to enable the realization of objects with desired structural and appearance properties, a huge amount of works appeared recently in the Computer Graphics literature. A basic knowledge of the available methods and of the underlying manufacturing technologies is rather useful both for mathematicians and computer graphics experts, that can found novel applications of their expertise, and for end users (engineers, designers, specialists of various biomedical domains) that may discover what is expected in the future of personalized manufacturing. TARGET AUDIENCE - The school is mainly conceived to give a high quality training opportunity to graduate students, PhD students as well as to young researchers and industry practitioners. In particular there will be the opportunity for PhD students to acquire CFU credits (corresponding to 20h of courses) upon a final examination test.

IEEE CG&A Special Issue on Visual Computing with Deep Learning - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- IEEE CG&A Special Issue on Visual Computing with Deep Learning - Call for Papers ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- The great success of deep learning techniques in computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing has recently attracted much attention. While machine learning techniques have long been used to solve a wide range of graphics and visualization problems, most of them rely on problem-specific "feature engineering" to extract favorable features from the training data, which is often a manually-tweaked, time-consuming process and usually does not generalize well. Deep learning techniques, on the other hand, are capable of automatically discovering features appropriate for a specific task from raw data, which reduces the need for feature engineering and makes it easier to develop end-to-end solutions. The recent advances in Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) and reinforcement learning methods show their potential for data generation and action planning. It is expected that the use of deep learning techniques can significantly advance the performance of many state-of-the-art graphics and visualization algorithms. Unlike computer vision applications, which mainly focus on visual content analysis and understanding, graphics and visualization tasks must often create visual content (e.g., synthesizing an image, generating an animation sequence, visualizing and interpreting spatial-temporal data) that exhibits the high quality to be used in entertainment or visualization applications. Furthermore, end-to-end deep learning techniques require a large amount of labelled data to work optimally. This raises an additional challenge because, unlike computer vision, which relies on natural images or video that can be conveniently collected on Internet, high-quality synthesized visual content with proper labeling is rare. Finally, different from many vision tasks where automation is the ultimate goal, creating visual content is often an interactive, progressive process. Therefore, user interaction must be integrated into the learning and run-time computation process. For this special issue, we are soliciting papers that describe algorithms, data structures, tools and systems that use deep learning or facilitate the use of deep learning for graphics and visualization tasks. More specifically, we are looking for contributions that demonstrate practical impact of deep learning on (but not limited to) the following topics: Visual analytics applications Object/scene reconstruction from RGB/RGBD images Shape analysis and synthesis Appearance capture and modeling Global illumination and real-time rendering Sound synthesis and rendering Physics-based simulation of fluids and deformable objects Performance-based face/body animation Computational photography Deep learning models and training schemes for visual content creation --------------- Important Date: --------------- Final submissions due: 1 July 2018 Publication date: March/April 2019 -------------- Guest Editors -------------- Kun Zhou, kunzhou(a)zju.edu.cn Xin Tong, Microsoft Research Asia, xtong(a)microsoft.com -------------- Submission Guidelines -------------- Non department articles submitted to IEEE CG&A should not exceed 8,000 words, including the main text, abstract, keywords, bibliography, biographies, and table text, where a page is approximately 800 words. Articles should include no more than 10 figures or images. Each 1/4 page figure, image, and table counts for approx. 200 words. Note that all tables, images, and illustrations must be appropriately scaled and legible; larger elements should be accounted for accordingly with respect to word count. Please limit the number of references to the most relevant and ensure to delineate your work from relevant past articles in CG&A. Furthermore, avoid an excessive number of references to published work that might only be marginally relevant. Consider instead providing such pertinent background material in sidebars for non-expert readers. Visit the CG&A style and length guidelines at www.computer.org/web/peer-review/magazines. We also strongly encourage you to submit multimedia (videos, podcasts, and so on) to enhance your article. Visit the CG&A supplemental guidelines at www.computer.org/web/peer-review/magazines. Please submit your paper using the online manuscript submission service at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/cs-ieee. When uploading your paper, select the appropriate special issue title under the category "Manuscript Type." Also, include complete contact information for all authors. If you have any questions about submitting your article, contact the peer review coordinator at cga-ma(a)computer.org. -------------- CFP Web Page: -------------- https://publications.computer.org/cga/2017/12/09/special-issue-visual-comput ing-deep-learning-call-papers/

The aims of this federated event are: to bring two slightly different communities together in the same venue (one oriented to research in visual technology, the other focusing on the application of those technologies to CH); to share experiences and discuss methodologies concerning digital visual media and their use in the context of cultural heritage applications; and to enable an increased cross-fertilization among those communities and foster collaboration. GCH 2018 aims to establish an international dialogue between ICT experts and CH scientists to advance the understanding of critical requirements for processing, managing, and delivering cultural heritage information to a broad audience. The objective of the workshop is to introduce and showcase new techniques and applications for supporting Cultural Heritage information ranging from data acquisition, analysis and synthesis, 3D documentation, and data management, to new forms of interactive presentation and 3D printing solutions. Interdisciplinary approaches for analysis, classification and interpretation of cultural artefacts are particularly relevant to the event. GCH 2018 as part of Visual Heritage 2018 provides a scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and techniques in research, education and dissemination of Cultural Heritage information, to transfer them into practice, and identify future research and application opportunities. Topics We seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in the visual computing area applied to digital cultural heritage, challenging the state-of-the-art solutions, presenting experiences and projects in this domain and leveraging new ideas for future developments. Equally, original contributions in the cultural heritage field of relevance to visual computing are welcome.

====================================================== COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2018 (CGVC2018) The 36th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association, 13-14 September 2018, Swansea University, UK http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2018/ ====================================================== The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK working in computer graphics and visual computing (including, Computer Graphics and Vision, Information and Scientific Visualization, and Visual Analytics). It attracts researchers from across the country and from further afield. The 2018 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions in the form of full papers, short papers, viewpoint papers, and extended abstracts (poster papers). • Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research, plus an additional page of references. Papers are refereed by members of an international program committee (IPC). Authors of accepted papers are expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library and will serve as full paper publications. • Short papers - The purpose of short papers is to present late-breaking results, work-in-progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process by an international program committee (IPC). They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. Accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 15 minute presentations. • Viewpoint Papers (aka. Position paper, ***new in CGVC2018***) - Viewpoint paper track enables researchers a new possibility to publish their ideas. Viewpoints articles offer detailed technical opinions on trends in visual computing or reports on how visual computing has contributed to the comprehension of data or phenomena, without the need to present completed research work and/or validated results. We encourage discussions of challenges or limitations in today's methods and areas of potential new topics of research. We are also interested in application discussions that focus on, for example, the areas of physical, life or social sciences, engineering, or commerce, or areas related to the process of visual computing in general. We encourage an emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience for application discussions, particularly where visual computing has been employed in a real, working environment. Viewpoint papers are submitted with author names and affiliations (at most 4-pages). Accepted viewpoint papers will be electronically archived, are fully citable publications and will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 15 minute presentations. Submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable for poster presentation by the IPC will be offered an opportunity to present in the poster track. • Extended Abstracts (Poster Papers) - CGVC 2018 is re-introducing a poster track. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. In particular, it provides young researchers, especially postgraduate students, with valuable opportunities to receive feedback from other researchers, and engage in stimulating discussions. The poster track will be managed by the co-chair team and the International Program Committee (IPC) for the papers track. We solicit poster submissions in the form of a poster and an accompanying sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages, with an additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process. Accepted posters will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. Accepted extended abstracts (poster papers) do not appear in the Eurographics digital library, and will not be considered as a paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one-page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated full paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract or a poster at the conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. Topics include, but are not limited to: ====================================================== Computer Graphics Visualization Computer Vision Virtual Reality Visual Analytics Visual Data Science Computer Animation Computer-based Arts and Entertainment Image processing Acquisition and Reconstruction Techniques Graphics Architectures and Acceleration Hardware Medical Imaging Multimedia Visualisation Computer Games Rendering Techniques Scientific Visualisation and Big Data Information Visualization and Visual Analytics Geospatial Visualisation Augmented Reality and Collaborative Environments Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices Human Computer Interaction, Robotics, and Haptics Modelling Methods ====================================================== Important Dates: Submission Deadline: 8 June 2018 (Fri) Notification of Acceptance: 13 July 2018 (Fri) Camera Ready: 03 August 2018 (Fri) Conference: 13-14 September 2018 (Thu-Fri) ====================================================== Publication type | Page limit | Accepted publication Full Paper | 4-8 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Short Paper | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Viewpoint Paper (i.e. Position Paper) | 2-4 pages, + 1-page refs only | fully citable publication Extended Abstract (i.e. Poster Paper) | 1-2 pages | not considered as a paper publication ====================================================== Conference Chair Robert S.

VCBM 2018 / Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2018 CALL FOR PAPERS

by eurographics＠eg.org

Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2018 in Granada, Spain Collocated with MICCAI 2018 *) Workshop Dates: September 20-21, 2018 *) Submission Deadline: June 22, 2018 Aims and Scope --------------------- EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare and the biotechnology sector. This years workshop (already the 8th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held during September 20-21, 2018, in Granada, Spain. It will be collocated with the MICCAI conference. EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to: *) Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology, surgery, pathology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education *) Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical research in systems biology, *omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc. *) Operation room of the future including the uses of virtual reality and augmented reality in medical applications. *) Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging modalities including real-time imaging (e.g., ultrasound) *) Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological human. Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new approaches in computational medicine. *) Visual analytics solutions for data coming from epidemiological studies, like population studies. *) Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine Information for Authors ---------------------------------- In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2018 papers (full and short) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. *) Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such videos or executable programs to provide extra contents. As in previous years, the authors of the best three papers will be invited by the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal to submit a revised version, which needs to have a significant amount of novel material, and be within the focus subjects of the CGF journal. *) Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). VCBM 2018 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. Submission Instructions ------------------------------- Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system here: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2018 Login with your existing SRM account, or create a new one using the relevant links. More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2018 website: http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates *) Paper submission deadline (full and short papers): June 22, 2018 *) Author notification: July 31, 2018 *) Camera-ready deadline: August 24, 2018 *) Workshop: September 20-21, 2018 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1).

Nevertheless, frequent connection flights to European hubs provide an efficient alternative for those who travel from cities without direct flights to Lisbon. Besides attending the technical program and the two fantastic keynote talks by Baining Guo and Hao Zhang, you can also take advantage of the proximity with Bilbao and participate on SPM 2018 conference: either take one of the several 1h30m direct flights or enjoy the eight drive through the beautiful Iberian Peninsula. Of course, you can always stay longer and explore Lisbon. This year, the symposium is held in collaboration with ACM and offers a discounted rate to ACM, EG or IEEE members All information about the symposium can be found at: <http://smi2018.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/> http://smi2018.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/ Looking forward to seeing you in Portugal

VCBM 2018 - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

VCBM 2018 Call for Papers http://www.vcbm.org/ Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2018 in Granada, Spain Collocated with MICCAI 2018 *) Workshop Dates: September 20-21, 2018 *) Submission Deadline: June 22, 2018 Aims and Scope EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare and the biotechnology sector. This years workshop (already the 8th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held during September 20-21, 2018, in Granada, Spain. It will be collocated with the MICCAI conference. EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to: *) Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology, surgery, pathology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education *) Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical research in systems biology, *omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc. *) Operation room of the future including the uses of virtual reality and augmented reality in medical applications. *) Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging modalities including real-time imaging (e.g., ultrasound) *) Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological human. Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new approaches in computational medicine. *) Visual analytics solutions for data coming from epidemiological studies, like population studies. *) Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine Information for Authors In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2018 papers (full and short) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. *) Full Papers: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such videos or executable programs to provide extra contents. As in previous years, the authors of the best three papers will be invited by the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal to submit a revised version, which needs to have a significant amount of novel material, and be within the focus subjects of the CGF journal. *) Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). VCBM 2018 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. Submission Instructions Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system here: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2018 Login with your existing SRM account, or create a new one using the relevant links. More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2018 website: http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates *) Paper submission deadline (full and short papers): June 22, 2018 *) Author notification: July 31, 2018 *) Camera-ready deadline: August 24, 2018 *) Workshop: September 20-21, 2018 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1). Sincerely, the Full Paper Co-Chairs of EG VCBM 2018, Anna Puig Puig (University of Barcelona, Spain), Thomas Schultz (University of Bonn, Germany), Anna Vilanova (TU Delft, The Netherlands), together with the Short Paper Co-Chairs of EG VCBM 2018, Ingrid Hotz (Linköping University Norrköping, Schweden) Barbora Kozlikova (Masaryk University, Czech Republic) Pere-Pau Vazquez (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) and with the Poster CoChairs of EG VCBM 2018, Noeska Smit (University of Bergen, Norway) Kai Lawonn (Universität Koblenz-Landau, Germany)
