------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS XX Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil October 7-10, 2007 www.inf.pucminas.br/sibgrapi2007 The Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing, SIBGRAPI 2007, will be held on October 7-10, 2007, in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. SIBGRAPI is the most important Brazilian meeting in Computer Graphics, Image Processing, and Computer Vision. Started in 1988 with the sponsorship of the Brazilian Computer Society, this will be its 20th edition. IEEE CS Press has published the proceedings of SIBGRAPI since 1997. All full papers are blindly reviewed by three experts in the topic of the work and the acceptance rate is about 30% of the submitted papers. We would like to encourage the attendees of ICCV'07 and ISMM'07 to extend a few days of their trip and participate of SIBGRAPI'07. In 2007, we will have a special session in Medical Imaging as an important application area for Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision. As invited speakers, we have so far the following confirmation: * Dr. Fernando Cendes (Leader of the CinAPCe-FAPESP program for research in neuroscience, Associate Professor of the Dept. of Neurology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas). * Dr. Jayaram K. Udupa (One of the pioneers in Medical Imaging, Full Professor and Chief of the Medical Image Processing Group, Dept. of Radiology, University of Pennsylvania) * Dr. Leif Kobbelt (Professor and Head of Computer Graphics Group at RWTH Aachen, Germany) * Dr. Luciano Fontoura (Head of the Instrumentation and Informatics Group (IFSC-USP) and Cybernetic Vision Research Group (IFSC-USP) * Dr. Luiz Velho (Full Researcher at IMPA and Leading Scientist of the VISGRAF Laboratory) * Dr. Max Viergever (Editor-in-chief of IEEE TMI and Professor and Head of the Department of Medical Imaging at Utrecht University) We have also submitted the co-sponsorship of IEEE for SIBGRAPI 2007. We cordially invite you to participate by submitting your work in all areas of Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision, including but not limited to the following topics: 1.

Applications Contributions should be in one of the following categories: * Full Papers: scheduled as oral presentations and published in the Proceedings as two-column, 8-page papers, in English. Submission will be electronic. IEEE CS Press will publish proceedings and selected papers will be published in specialized journals. * Technical Posters: special session and published as two-column, 2-page papers, in English. * Tutorials: about classical or timely topics, from elementary to advanced, consisting of three to six hours of lectures with printed notes (20-30 pages), in Portuguese or English. * Workshop of Theses and Dissertations: PhD and MSc students may submit their ongoing work in English or Portuguese, to be evaluated for presentation. We expect this to be an unique opportunity for graduate students to receive important feedback on their work from the scientific community. * Workshop of Undergraduate Work: undergraduate students are encouraged to submit the results of their scientific works in English or Portuguese, to be evaluated for presentation. * Video Festival: special session of computer graphics or digital video processing techniques.
