[General] Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) 2024 -- posters, travel grant, early bird

The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) is the premier venue for disseminating research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are developed and applied to offer insights into and to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections. SGP 2024 will be held at MIT in Cambridge, MA, USA (near Boston) on June 24-26, 2024. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on June 22-23. Conference website: https://sgp2024.github.io/ *I am writing to share three news items about SGP: * 1. *Early bird registration deadline (May 10)* 2. *Student travel grant (due May 24)* 3. *Call for posters (due May 26)* More information below the signature of this email. - Justin Solomon Co-chair, Symposium on Geometry Processing Associate Professor, MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science ************************ *Early Bird Registration Deadline* SGP is pleased to offer special Early Bird pricing to those attendees who register early for the conference.  The SGP Early Bird deadline is quickly approaching:  this Friday, May 10.  To register now, please visit this page: https://sgp2024.github.io/registration/ ************************ *SGP Student Travel Grant * We are pleased to announce a student travel grant to cover up to $1,000 of expenses for travel/lodging/registration to attend the Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (June 22-26, 2024); we will be able to give this award to roughly five students total. The application form is linked from this page: https://sgp2024.github.io/registration/ Note:  Due to requirements of our funding from the US National Science Foundation (NSF), applicants to this travel grant must be students studying at US institutions and/or US citizens/permanent residents at non-US institutions. Eurographics may release a second travel grant relevant to other groups later. ************************ *SGP Call for Posters* We invite authors to submit proposals for poster presentations that highlight innovative research, preliminary findings, novel ideas, ongoing projects in the field of geometry processing, as well as refined methods or applications of already published research. We welcome submissions from a wide range of topics, including but not limited to: * Acquisition and reconstruction * 3D printing analysis and fabrication * Architectural geometry * Computational geometry * Differentiable rendering * Discrete differential geometry * Data structures and representations for geometry and topology * Shape collection exploration * Geometry compression * Geometric deep learning * Geometric representations for machine learning * Interactive techniques * Meshing, remeshing, and multiresolution modeling * Multimodal shape processing * Neural shape representations * Point cloud processing * Processing of large geometric datasets * Shape analysis, synthesis, and animation * Surface and volume parameterization and deformation Note that the posters will be presented at the conference but will not be published otherwise. Poster submissions should include a 2-page abstract that summarizes the poster content and is formatted according to the Author’s guidelines. Submissions should be made electronically through the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP_2024P The submission process is not anonymous. Timeline * Poster Submission Deadline: May 26, 2024, 23:59 UTC * Notification of Acceptance: June 3, 2024, 23:59 UTC * SGP Conference: June 24-26, 2024 At least one author of each accepted poster is expected to be present at the SGP 2024 conference to discuss their work during the dedicated poster session. Authors will be in charge of printing the poster, many printing services are available around the conference venue. Posters will be displayed throughout the conference, and authors will have the opportunity to present their work and engage with attendees. We look forward to your contributions and to an engaging and informative poster session at SGP 2024!
