  May 16-19, 2011

  Hangzhou, China

  http://www.3DIMPVT.org

   in cooperation with Eurographics.

_______________________________________________________________________

Given the rapid growth of 3D research over the last decade and the

recent surge of wide-ranging interest in 3D contents and techniques,

the two premier conferences for research in 3D imaging, modeling and

processing ? 3DIM and 3DPVT ? are joining forces for 2011. The event

will provide a unique forum for disseminating ideas and results that

cover a broad scope of topics related to 3D research in computer vision

and graphics, from novel optical sensors, signal processing, geometric

modeling, representation and transmission, to visualization

software/hardware and applications.

The organizers invite you to submit high quality, original full

research papers by

*DECEMBER 15, 2010*.

The papers will be reviewed by an international Program Committee

(see web site). Accepted papers will be presented in single-track oral

sessions as well as poster sessions (all papers are allocated the same

number of pages). The conference proceedings will be published by

Conference Publishing Services, and made available on IEEExplore. A

best paper award will be given; authors of selected papers will be

invited to submit extended versions to a special issue of the

journal "Machine Vision and Applications".

Full details on the paper format, electronic submission procedure,

conference events and venue are found on the

http://www.3DIMPVT.org conference site.
