In this research area, concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering are used to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, reconstruction, manipulation, simulation and transmission of complex 3D models. In 2012, SGP will be held in Tallinn, Estonia, from July 16 to 18. As in 2011, SGP will offer a graduate school on July 14-15 and a software award. We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics in geometry processing: - Geometry and topology representations - Scanning, reconstruction, reverse engineering - Meshing and remeshing - Simplification, approximation, level of detail - Discrete differential geometry - Smoothing and denoising - Multiresolution shape analysis and synthesis - Surface and volume parameterization - Animation and simulation - Compression of static or animated geometry - Robust geometric computing - Geometry processing applications (e.g. architecture, medicine) - Interactive techniques - Geometric aspects of rendering and other fields Proceedings The SGP proceedings will appear as a regular electronic issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the EUROGRAPHICS Association. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Posters A poster session will provide an additional informative look into ongoing research. Submissions with high potential but which have not been accepted as papers will be invited to be presented in a poster session during the symposium. GRADUATE SCHOOL: <http://www.ioc.ee/sgp12/index.php?location=graduateschool> http://www.ioc.ee/sgp12/index.php?location=graduateschool There will be a two-day tutorial on geometry processing on July 14-15, specifically targeted towards graduate students. This graduate student workshop is intended for those SGP participants, who are not yet that familiar with the overall field and who will thus benefit from a more thorough introduction into the topics dealt with at the following SGP event. The lecturers will be senior scientists experienced in the topics of the SGP talks and possibly also authors of the papers to be presented. Software Award To encourage the distribution of useful, high quality software in geometry processing, since SGP 2011 there is an award for freely available software related to or useful for geometry processing. Please send nominations and applications for the software award to <mailto:awardnominations@geometryprocessing.org> awardnominations(a)geometryprocessing.org.
