[General] EGSR 2010: REGISTRATION OPEN - Early-bird deadline June 8th

EGSR 2010: REGISTRATION OPEN - Early-bird deadline June 8th The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2010 will take place in Saarbrücken, Germany, from June 28 to June 30, 2010. This is the 21st annual event in the series of very successful Eurographics Symposia on Rendering and Eurographics Workshops on Rendering. Up-to-date information about the conference is available on the official EGSR 2010 web site: http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/egsr2010/ Detailed program is attached below. We invite you to attend EGSR 2010. We have an exciting oral papers programme and a number of high-quality posters presenting innovative research in the field of rendering. We are honored to announce two invited talks to be presented by George Drettakis and Kari Pulli. Registration is now open: http://www.mpi-inf.mpg.de/egsr2010/registration.html The regsitration fees are stated below for your information. You can choose to register as a non-member or member of ACM or EG. (We also offer student prices for both options.) Registration covers all lunches, a conference dinner with a visit to well-known caves in Homburg, welcome reception, MPI Informatik/Saarland University /DFKI reception&tour, proceedings and admission to the conference programme 28-29 June. In addition, since the EGSR 2010 and the High-Performance Graphics 2010 are co-located at Saarbrücken campus, you may register for the full last day of HPG (June 27, 2010) for an additional payment of 40 Euros (the lunch and coffee break costs). There is still time to register for the early bird discount deadline (8 June). We look forward to seeing you in Saarbruecken!

Complex scenes still provide challenges, mostly because modeling all those irregularities that make a scene look natural is so tedious. Images with increased perceived realism can be created by scanning the existing reality: with texture maps, material properties, illumination, object geometry, animation paths --- and reorganizing the data to new images. Maybe it is time to raise the bar of quality of photorealistic imaging. We still have difficulties in capturing a real scene as we experience it with our own eyes, due to limitations of physical cameras, especially using consumer-level equipment outside of a laboratory. In this talk we discuss interactive mobile computational photography. We present several research projects done at Nokia that capture the images on a camera phone, process them right after the capture, and allows the users to even edit them and make an informed decision whether more data is needed for the perfect picture. We also discuss some fundamental tools for handheld computational photography, and give an overview of a new camera control API that makes implementation of such applications so much easier. George Drettakis Title: Twenty years of Rendering Research: past, present and future Abstract In this talk we will start with a retrospective of some key research results developed by our group and others, which were presented at the Eurographics workshops and symposia on Rendering in the last 20 years. These will cover topics such as global illumination (radiosity, Monte Carlo and even PRT), point-based techniques, interactive/GPU rendering and texture synthesis. We will then discuss four challenges we consider important for current and future rendering research. First, the development of theoretical foundations for recent interactive and real-time algorithms. Second, the development of more powerful image-based rendering solutions, building on the wealth of previous simulation-based rendering research results. Third, further integration of perceptual studies in core rendering research. Last but not least, the expansion of rendering into the domain of user interaction research, which we believe is an important and unlimited source of important research challenges for the future. We will illustrate each challenge with examples of recent or current research we have developed, and our thoughts on future directions. ------------------------------------- Registration Fees Early Bird (before June 8th, 2010) Non-Member 450 Euro Student Non-Member 315 Euro EG-Members / ACM-Members 350 Euro Student EG-Members / Student ACM-Members 270 Euro Regular Prices (after June 8th, 2010) Non-Member 500 Euro Student Non-Member 365 Euro EG-Members / ACM-Members 400 Euro Student EG-Members / Student ACM-Members 300 Euro ----------------------------------------
