Call for Papers

The second International Symposium on 3DPTV (3D Data Processing,
Visualization, and
Transmission) will be held on September 6 to 9, 2004 in the city of
Thessaloniki, Greece.

The goal of this meeting is to present and discuss new research ideas and
results related to the capture, representation, compact storage,
transmission, processing, editing, optimization and visualization or 3D
data. These topics span a number of research fields from applied
mathematics, computer science, and engineering: computer vision, computer
graphics, geometric modeling, signal and image processing, bionformatics,
and statistics.

This symposium follows the highly successful 1st International Symposium on
3D Data Processing, Visualization, and Transmission
3DPVT'02 (http://www.dei.unipd.it/conferences/3DPVT) which took place in
2003 in Padova, Italy. The proceedings of the symposium will be published in
the IEEE Proceedings Series, in cooperation with Eurographics and ACM
SIGGRAPH.

A list of topics of interest includes but is not limited to: 

 - 3D scanning technologies and devices
 - 3D photography algorithms
 - 3D view registration and surface modeling
 - Surface reflectance recovery and modeling
 - 3D texture processing
 - Image-based rendering and modeling
 - Multi-view image and geometry processing
 - Stereo and motion reconstruction
 - Augmented reality
 - Compression, transmission and visualization of 3D data
 - 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. 
 - 3D Television
 - Teleimmersion and remote collaboration

Paper submission 

Papers submitted for review must follow the IEEE CS Press Proceedings
two-column format. The papers must be submitted for review in final form.
The maximum paper length for review as well as for publication is 8 pages,
including the bibliography and the figures.  Electronic manuscripts must be
submitted in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. In exceptional circumstances,
PostScript files will be accepted and converted to PDF: you must contact the
conference in advance if you intend to do so.

The paper must have the full author contact information. All accepted papers
will be published in the Proceedings of the Symposium (on a CD-ROM). 
The symposium language will be English.
