IEEE-CS Visualization and
Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC)
In Cooperation with ACM/SIGGRAPH

The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric
models, especially those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a
growing interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the highly
successful 2004 and 2005 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 3rd symposium of
its series, PBG06, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based
methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of
application domains. The PBG06 will take place in Boston, MA, July 29-30, 2006,
and will be co-located with SIGGRAPH and the International Workshop on Volume
Graphics. The best papers of PBG06 will additionally be published in a special
issue of Computers & Graphics. We invite your original contributions in
areas including, but not limited to, the following:
Data acquisition and surface
reconstruction
Geometric modeling using point primitives
Sampling,
approximation, and interpolation
Rendering algorithms for point
primitives
Geometry processing of point models
Topological properties of
point clouds
Hardware architectures for point primitives
Animation and
morphing of point-sampled models
Hybrid representations and algorithms
Use
of point-based methods in real-world applications
Transmission and
compression of point-sampled geometry
