                              First Call For Papers


Aim and Scope

    3D  data capture, generation, processing and visualization are
at  reach of current sensors and computer technology. The activity
of  a  growing number of researchers from fields such as  computer
vision, computer graphics, image processing, bioinformatics,   and
statistics  is  merging into a new discipline centered  around  3D
data  processing  and  visualization,  where  transmission  issues
concerning 3D data are instrumental for the distributed use of  3D
information.    The International Symposium on 3D Data  Processing
Visualization  and  Transmission intends to be a  dedicated  forum
where  academic and industrial researchers in this field may bring
and   find   well  established  topics  as  well  as  issues   and
applications of emerging relevance.

A list of topics of interest includes but is not limited to:
3D photography
3D view registration and surface modeling
Surface reflectance recovery and modeling and 3D texture
Image-based rendering and multi-view image processing
Augmented reality
Compression, transmission and distributed visualization of 3D
information
3D Content-based retrieval and recognition
Man/machine interaction with 3D data
3D printing and rapid prototyping
Psychophysics of 3D sensing and haptics
3D imaging in biomedicine
Structural analysis and pattern discovery in bioinformatics
3D imaging in virtual heritage and virtual archeology
3D imaging in e-commerce.
