[General] SGP Call for Papers

The Eurographics Symposium on Geometry Processing (SGP) 2025 will be held in Bilbao (Basque Country / Spain) on 30 June - 4 July, 2025. The SGP graduate school will offer tutorials taught by leading experts on 30 June - 1 July. Conference website: https://sgp2025.my.canva.site/ Call for papers Important Changes from past years: new, visa-friendly deadline in mid-February. Details below SGP is the premier venue for disseminating research ideas and cutting-edge results in geometry processing. In this research area, concepts from mathematics, computer science, and engineering are developed and applied to offer insights into and to design efficient algorithms for acquisition, modeling, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and other types of processing of 3D models and shape collections. We invite submissions related to, but not limited to, the following topics: * Acquisition and reconstruction * Analysis and fabrication for 3D printing * Architectural geometry * Computational geometry * Differentiable rendering * Discrete differential geometry * Exploration of shape collections * Geometry and topology data structures and representations * Geometry compression * Geometric deep learning * Geometric representations for machine learning * Geometry processing applications * Interactive techniques * Meshing and remeshing * Multiresolution modeling * Multimodal shape processing * Neural shape representations * Point cloud acquisition and processing * Processing of massive geometric datasets * Shape analysis and synthesis * Simulation and animation * Smoothing, filtering, and denoising * Surface and volume parameterization and deformation Dataset Papers SGP encourages submission of dataset papers to the technical papers program. Geometric datasets play a critical role in evaluating the behavior of geometric algorithms, and in recent years they have provided challenging examples that have driven the field forward. We seek papers that build on this success by providing, documenting, and discussing datasets with larger, more challenging examples than those seen before—or datasets that capture new challenges in geometry processing. 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. [NEW THIS YEAR] For its 2025 edition, SGP uses a double deadline format to provide more researchers with enough time to obtain a visa to attend the conference without penalizing authors who may want to submit to our usual mid-Spring deadline. Authors who choose to submit by the first deadline will receive a notification of acceptance in mid March, and can readily register to the conference and apply for a visa. A paper submitted to the first deadline and rejected can be resubmitted to the second one. All accepted papers will appear in the same Computer Graphics Forum special issue, independently of the deadline they were submitted by. The new timeline is as follows: First (visa-friendly) round of submissions - Abstract submission: Feb 4, 2025 (recommended) - Paper submission: Feb 7, 2025 - Notification of acceptance: March 15, 2025 - Revised version due: March 29, 2025 - Camera ready due: April 5, 2025 Second (traditional) round of submissions - Abstract submission: April 8, 2025 (recommended) - Paper submission: April 11, 2025 - Notification of acceptance: May 16, 2025 - Revised version due: May 30, 2025 - Camera ready due: June 6, 2025 - Graduate School: Jun 30 - Jul 1 - Conference: Jul 2 - Jul 4 All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC/GMT. Paper submission via the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP2025_FP1> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/SGP2025_FP1 Awards and Recognitions Following its traditions, SGP 2025 will attribute three best paper awards, a software award recognising the authors of an open-source software that has greatly influenced the field, and a data set award designed to acknowledge the suppliers of high quality datasets used in geometry processing. In addition, SGP may provide papers with the reproducibility stamp to recognise the effort of researchers who, in addition to publishing their paper at SGP 2025, provide a complete open-source implementation of their algorithm.
