CALL FOR PAPERS ====================================================================== 3DTV-CON 2007 The True Vision: Capture, Transmission And Display of 3D Video 7-9 May 2007, Kos island, Greece URL: http://www.3dtv-con.org ====================================================================== ---------------------- Summary and Scope ---------------------- Creating exact 3D moving images as ghost-like replicas of 3D objects has been an ultimate goal of the scientific community. Capturing 3D scenery, processing the captured data for transmission, and displaying the result for 3D viewing are the main functional components. These components encompass a wide range of disciplines: imaging and computer graphics, signal processing,telecommunications, electronics, optics and physics. The objective of the 3DTV-CON is to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry with diverse experience and activity in distinct, yet complementary, areas so that full scale 3D video capabilities are seamlessly integrated. ------------------ Important dates ------------------ Special sessions and tutorials proposals: 1 Dec 2006 Regular Paper submission: 15 Dec 2006 Notification of acceptance: 9 Feb 2007 Submission of camera-ready papers: 2 March 2007 ------------------------- Conference proceedings ------------------------- Accepted papers will be published online by the IEEE (IEEE Xplore) ------------------- Conference Venue ------------------- Kos International Convention Centre (KICC), Kos island, Greece (http://www.kipriotis.gr/kicc_aboutus.htm) ----------- Sponsors ----------- EU IST 3DTV Network of excellence EURASIP MPEG Industry Forum IEEE SP Soc Greek and Turkish Chapters, IEEE Comm Soc Greek and Turkish Chapters IEEE LEOS Greek and Turkish Chapters IEEE CS Greek and Turkish Chapters IEEE CAS/SSC Greek Chapter --------------------- Registration costs --------------------- Regular: 500 Euros IEEE or MPEG-IF members: 400 Euros (20% discount) Students: 350 Euros (30% discount) ---------- Topics ---------- 3D Capture and Processing - 3D time-varying scene capture technology - Multi-camera recording - 3D photography algorithms - Synchronization and calibration of camera arrays - 3D view registration - Multi-view geometry and calibration - Holographic camera techniques - 3D motion analysis and tracking - Surface modeling for 3-D scenes - Multi-view image and 3D data processing 3D Transmission - Systems, architecture and transmission aspects of 3D - 3D streaming - Error-related issues and handling of 3d video - Hologram compression - Multi-view video coding - 3D mesh compression - Multiple description coding for 3D - Signal processing for diffraction and holographic 3DTV 3D Visualization - 3D mesh representation - Texture and point representation - Object-based representation and segmentation - Volume representation - 3D motion animation - Dense stereo and 3D reconstruction - Stereoscopic display techniques - Holographic display technology - Reduced parallax systems and integral imaging - Underlying optics and VLSI technology - Projection and display technology for 3D videos - Human factors 3D Applications - 3D imaging in virtual heritage and virtual archaeology - 3D Teleimmersion and remote collaboration - Augmented reality and virtual environments - 3D television, cinema, games and entertainment - Medical and biomedical applications - 3D Content-based retrieval and recognition - 3D Watermarking -------------------- Conference Chairs -------------------- - General Chairs: Levent Onural, Bilkent University, TR Georgios Triantafyllidis, Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, GR - Technical Chairs Joern Ostermann, Leibniz University of Hannover, DE Thomas Sikora, Technische Universitaet Berlin, DE Aljoscha Smolic, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, DE Reha Civanlar, Koc University, TR John Watson, University of Aberdeen, UK - Finance Chair Nikos Grammalidis Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, GR - Publication Chair Xenophon Zabulis, Centre for Research and Technology Hellas, GR - Publicity Chair Atanas Gotchev, Tampere University of Technology, FI - Industry Liaison Ismo Rakkolainen, FogScreen, FI - American Liaison Yiannis Aloimonos, University of Maryland, US - Far East Liaison Jinwoong Kim, Electronics and Telecom.
