BMVA British Machine Vision Association and Society for Pattern Recognition http://www.bmva.org/meetings Call for Participation Vision meets Graphics: Sketch, Photography and Depiction One Day BMVA technical meeting in London, UK, on 30th March 2011 Chairs: Paul Rosin and Yukun Lai (Cardiff University) John Collomosse (University of Surrey), Peter Hall (University of Bath) Recent years have seen the convergence of computer graphics and computer vision. In particular, image processing and computer vision techniques provide computer graphics with the means to create richer models and renderings than is practically possible when using purely synthetic models. Several (overlapping) streams of this convergence have become dominant: - image based rendering − Instead of requiring a priori 3D scene models or 3D model reconstruction, image based rendering generates photorealistic new images from other images, often using large collections of captured photos or pre-rendered images. - expressive rendering and depiction − when applied to photographs the aim is to re-render imagery in an artistic style, e.g. painting, drawing, cartoon. Studying this process yields insights into visual structure that transfer to computer vision tasks such as sketch parsing and multimedia retrieval. - computational photography − aims to overcome limitations of traditional cameras with functions such as high dynamic range imaging, all-focus imaging, relighting, synthesising new views or impossible photos, motion magnification, etc. This new area of computer graphics/computer vision convergence has many possible applications, such as augmented environments, videoconferencing, post-production of films, computer games, interactive TV, education and training, video-based consumer electronics and scientific imaging. Topic areas of the meeting include but are not limited to: - Nonphotorealistic rendering from images/video - Expressive rendering - Style transfer - Graphics models for vision applications - Non-traditional camera models - Vision for scientific visualisation - Visual composition - Sketch models and sketch input - Computational photography - Image and video editing with semantic analysis - Image synthesis using sketches/database - Model acquisition from images and video, for graphics and visualisation applications Please submit an extended summary of one A4-sized page length in length (PDF preferred).
