[General] Point-Based Graphics 2007 - Call for Papers

Point-Based Graphics 2007 - Call for Papers Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) http://www.point-graphics.org 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, 2005, and 2006 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 4th symposium of its series, PBG07, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains. The PBG07 will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, September 2-3, 2007, and will be co-located with Eurographics and the International Workshop on Volume Graphics. The best papers of PBG07 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 Important Dates: 25 May 2007 Electronic paper submission 29 June 2007 Author notification 13 July 2007 Camera-ready copy Organization Conference Chairs: Baoquan Chen, University of Minnesota at Twin Cities Matthias Zwicker, University of California at San Diego Papers Chairs: Mario Botsch, ETH Zurich Renato Pajarola, University of Zurich Papers Committee: Bart Adams Marc Alexa Daniel Aliaga Nina Amenta Kavita Bala Loic Barthe Carsten Dachsbacher Tamal Dey Philip Dutre Joachim Giesen Enrico Gobbetti Markus Gross Gael Gunnebaud Arie Kaufman Leif Kobbelt Piyush Kumar Nelson Max Gopi Meenakshisundaram Torsten Moeller Klaus Mueller Hanspeter Pfister Voicu Popescu Miguel Sainz Dietmar Saupe Marc Stamminger Alexandru Telea Matthias Teschner Amitabh Varshney Luiz Velho Michael Wand Ruediger Westermann Tim Weyrich Michael Wimmer Yanci Zhang Afra Zomorodian
