CVMP2012 - CALL FOR PAPERS

European Conference on Visual Media Production

28th & 29th November 2012

VUE Leicester Square, London

http://www.cvmp-conference.org

CVMP 2012 is the 9th annual industry-academic conference series on media production for film, broadcast and games. Visual media

production brings together expertise in video processing, computer vision, computer graphics, animation and physical simulation.

CVMP provides a forum for presentation of the latest research advances combined with key-note and invited talks on state-of-the-art

industry practice in content production and post-production. CVMP is rapidly building a reputation as a prime venue for researchers

to meet with image practitioners in the film and television industry. For instance, in 2011 48% of the audience were from the film and

television post-production industry including representation from high profile post-houses such as Moving Picture Company, Double

Negative, and so forth. Furthermore, CVMP hosts keynotes from distinguished researchers and professionals from industry (to

name have few from previous years: Jeremy Doig / Google, Roberto Cipolla / Cambridge University, Sylvain Paris / Adobe).

High-quality papers are invited which present novel research related to any aspect of media production. Full length submitted

papers will be subject to peer review. The papers will be published in cooperation with Eurographics and ACM (pending). Selected

papers will be invited to submit extended versions to the IEEE Transactions on Multimedia. Papers are invited in all areas of visual

media production including:

Image and video based modelling
