Eurographics Italian Chapter annual event 2013:

CGLibs: Smart Libraries for Computer Graphics
http://www.cglibs.org
Pisa 3-5, June 2013


Behind a great application there is a great library! That set of functionalities and those concepts that are common to so many applications on the same domain and that we should keep rewriting if we did not have libraries.

CGLibs is a series of intensive courses on 6 great open source
libraries for Computer Graphics, written and maintained by well known scientists and made available to everyone!


::::::::::::::::::3D Geometry::::::::::::::::::::::::

VCGLib
The Visualization and Computer Graphics Library is an open source portable C++ templated library for manipulation, processing and displaying with OpenGL of polygonal meshes.

speaker Paolo Cignoni

PCL
The Point Cloud Library (PCL)  is a standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing.
speaker: Federico Tombari

::::::::::::::::::Graphics for the Web::::::::::::::::::::::::

SpiderGL is a JavaScript CG library that provides a series of utilities, data
structures, and algorithms to serve typical graphics tasks.

speaker Marco Di Benedetto

::::::::::::::::General Purpose Computation::::::::::::::::::::::::

Eigen
is a C++ template library for linear algebra: matrices, vectors, numerical solvers, and related algorithms.

speaker: Gael Guennebaud

ViennaCL
is a free open-source linear algebra library for computations on GPUs
 and multi-core CPUs. The library is written in C++ and supports CUDA, OpenCL, and OpenMP. In addition to core functionality and many other features including BLAS level 1-3 support and iterative solvers, the latest release ViennaCL 1.4.0 now includes an incomplete Cholesky factorization preconditioner.

speaker: Florian Rudolf

g2o
is an open-source C++ framework for optimizing graph-based nonlinear
error functions. g2o has been designed to be easily extensible to a wide range of problems and a new problem typically can be specified in a few lines of code. The current implementation provides solutions to several variants of SLAM and BA.

speaker: Giorgio Grisetti


::::::::::::::::::Call for Poster :::::::::::::::::::::
 Science made Practical: Poster Session

CGLibs aims at blurring the border between scientific exploration and practical applications which make an intense use of visual computing, and a wide open poster session will be the perfect place where to discuss new ideas, new products, or ideas for new products.

Authors are invited to submit proposals for poster presentations of:

- recent results, work in progress, new ideas and other smaller projects
- recent or upcoming commercial products, ideas for new products

as long as it  may be of interest to the general community and
include intense use of visual computing technology. Posters may be written in English or Italian.


Posters will be displayed during the conference and will form the focus of a posters session to be run in conjunction with one of the social events and during the breaks. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, and imaging.

Authors of accepted posters will be expected to be present at their posters during the posters session to discuss their work and answer questions.

The abstracts of the posters will be collected in a small volume distributed to the attendees.

Submission Details

Submitted posters should be in the form of a 2 page paper which must be formatted according to the Eurographics Author's guidelines (http://www.eg.org/index.php/publications/guidelines)  and may be accompanied by a preliminary version of the actual poster if the authors wish it. Anonymous submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM http://srm.eg.org) system and subject do a review process. Authors will be notified in time for submission of a final version in two formats, a 2 page paper and an A4 version of the final poster. Both formats will be included in the conference digital media with the proceedings and other material.
For any question concerning poster submissions please contact it-chapter@eg.org
The submission deadline for posters is 23:59GMT, 29/Mar/2013.
Notification to authors will be on 19/Apr/2013.


PhD School: CGLibs is also a PhD School:
