CALL FOR PAPERS INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER VISION Special Issue on Multi-View Modeling and Rendering of Visual Scenes Guest Editors Kyros Kutulakos, University of Rochester, USA Amnon Shashua, The Hebrew University, Israel (kyros@cs.rochester.edu, shashua@cs.huji.ac.il) The purpose of this special issue is to bring together original, high-quality research in computer vision and computer graphics on modeling, rendering and manipulating static or dynamic 3D scenes from multiple photographs. In recent years, there has been a fast and noticeable progress along the following paths: (1) advances in multi-view stereo reconstruction have led to impressive results in recovering geometrically- and photometrically-complex shapes from large collections of photographs, (2) image-based modeling and rendering techniques have demonstrated the potential of creating photo-realistic simulations of real scenes, and (3) the area of structure-from-motion has evolved into a body of results related to the representation of 3D space and its camera views in terms of collections of functions representing both the geometric and photometric variability of image space. Taken together, the fast progress along these lines of research is leading to new ways to formulate the traditional problems of structure-from-motion, motion estimation, reconstruction, and image synthesis. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit high quality, original works which have not appeared, nor are under consideration, in any other journals. SCHEDULE -------- + Submission Deadline: March 1, 2001 + Reviews returned to Authors: April 15, 2001 + Revised paper due by: June 1, 2001 + Acceptance decisions due by: July 15, 2001 + Final version due by: August 15, 2001 + Planned publication date: Early winter, 2002 Due to the tight publication schedule, it is expected that manuscripts requiring major revisions would not be considered for publication in the special issue.
