[General] VG05

4th International Workshop on Volume Graphics 20 - 21 June 2005 Stony Brook, New York, USA http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~vg05/ ======================================================================= Symposium Outline: Following successful workshops in Swansea (1999), Stony Brook (2001), and Tokyo (2003), the 4th International Workshop on Volume Graphics, VG05, aims to bring together researchers and applications developers from both the academic and industry sectors who are working, or wish to work, on volume-based graphics techniques to assess and review the techniques for volume-based modeling, rendering, manipulation and applications, and to explore further the potential of volume-based techniques, especially beyond the scope of volume visualization. VG05 is co-located with two other conferences: Computer Graphics International 2005 (June 22-25, 2005) and the Point-Based Rendering Symposium 2005 (June 21-22, 2005). Symposium Topics (but not limited to): - Volume-Based Modeling Complex and multi-volume scenes Image-based 3D modeling Frequency-domain modeling Physically based modeling Motion and Deformation Point-based modeling Mathematical Foundations Standards - Data Acquisition and Manipulation Digitization Voxelization and surface reconstruction Segmentation and feature extraction Compression Distortion and morphing Interaction and GUI design Haptics - Applications and Case Studies Medical imaging Surgical planning Forensic science Scientific computation Entertainment industry Internet-based applications Collaborative visualization - Volume Rendering Volume rendering hardware Direct volume rendering Point-based rendering GPU-accelerated techniques Voxel-based radiosity Illumination Reflection and refraction Shadowing Texture mapping Non-photorealistic rendering Parallel and distributed rendering Important Dates (NEW, EXTENDED): Deadline for receipt of full-length papers January 10, 2005 Notification of acceptance February 28, 2005 Honorary Workshop Chair: Arie Kaufman (Stony Brook University, USA) Workshop Co-Chairs: Tom Ertl (University of Stuttgart, Germany) Klaus Mueller (Stony Brook University, USA) Program Committee Co-Chairs: Issei Fujishiro (Tohoku University, Japan) Eduard Gröller (Vienna University of Technology, Austria) For more information, please visit http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~vg05/ -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Klaus Mueller, Ph.D. Asst.
