**************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S **************************************************************** IEEE International Workshop on BEYOND MULTIVIEW GEOMETRY: Robust Estimation and Organization of Shapes from Multiple Cues in conjunction with CVPR June 22, 2007, Minneapolis, MN http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~bmgcvpr/ Geometry-based methods such as stereo and structure from motion have matured over the last decade. Commercial systems now exist that reliably estimate camera calibration and motion from movies. However, these methods have had less success at 3D shape estimation and the organization of 3D data into coherent shapes - except for tightly constrained problems ( e.g., architectural scenes or multi-camera calibrated stereo). This workshop will focus on how - and to what extent - these methods' limitations can be transcended. Can we obtain high accuracy, dense, and robust shape/object estimates on fairly general scenes? No single method will suffice for this, nor will active methods such as laser scanning. To estimate and organize accurate shapes for general scenes, it will be necessary to combine geometry with cues such as texture, specularity and focus, to estimate and exploit illumination and reflectance models, to organize shapes based on differential geometry and topology, and to explore new sensing methodologies. The workshop will emphasize methods that achieve robustness on real application areas through exploiting such techniques, relying only on relatively general domain constraints. Topics of Interest (include but are not limited to): * Combining geometry and reflectance/illumination information * Multi-cue registration * Organizing 3D surfaces from unorganized images. * Exploiting diff. geometry, topology etc. to organize shape * Illumination estimation and its use in shape estimation * Robust sensor fusion * High level shape representations * Novel sensors design which contribute in multiple cue analysis Important Deadlines: Full Paper Submission: March 19, 2007 Notification of Acceptance: April 18, 2007 Final Papers Due: April 27, 2007 Paper Submission and Other Details: http://www.cs.stevens.edu/~bmgcvpr/ Organizing Committee: John Oliensis, Stevens Insitute of Technology, USA Elli Angelopoulou, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany George Kamberov, Stevens Insitute of Technology, USA Quynh Dinh, Stevens Insitute of Technology, USA Confirmed Program Committee Members: Roberto Cipolla, University of Cambridge, UK Tamal Dey, Ohio State University, USA Paolo Favaro, Heriot-Watt University, UK Martial Hebert, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Aaron Hertzmann, University of Toronto, Canada Joachim Hornegger, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Germany Gerda Kamberova, Hofstra University, USA Kiriakos Kutulakos, University of Toronto, Canada Michael Langer, McGill University, Canada Sang Wook Lee, Sogang University, Korea Tomas Pajdla, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic Szymon Rusinkiewicz, Princeton University, USA Dimitris Samaras, Stony Brook University, USA Radim Sara, Czech Technical University, Czech Republic Yoav Schechner, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Israel Gregory Slabaugh, Siemens Corporate Research, USA Stefano Soatto, University of California at Los Angeles, USA Gabriel Taubin, Brown University, USA
