3DPVT 2008

           Fourth International Symposium on
    3D Data Processing, Visualization and Transmission

June  18-20, 2008, Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta
February 29, 2008: Submission Deadline

Every two years 3DPVT offers researchers, developers, and students
the opportunity to present and discuss new research results,
technologies, and applications related to the capture, representation,
compact storage, transmission, processing, editing, optimization and
visualization of 3D geometric and photometric models and their use in
architecture, geosciences, medicine, manufacturing, security,
entertainment, and other fields.

We herby invite technical paper submissions in these areas, including
but not limited to the following:

ACQUISITION & RECOGNITION
- 3D scanning components, software, and systems
- 3D view registration
- 3D photography algorithms
- Multi-view geometry and calibration
- 3D shape retrieval and recognition
- Shape reconstruction from point-clouds

PROCESSING & TRANSMISSION
- Shape registration and similarity measures
- Interpolation, smoothing, and feature extraction
- Shape analysis and morphology
- Medial axis and segmentation
- Statistical analysis of families of shapes
- Simplification and resampling of shapes with photometric data
- Compression and transmission of still and dynamic 3D scenes
- Streaming and progressive refinements
- 3D Video

 INTERACTION & VISUALIZATION
- Image-based rendering and modeling
- Interactive visualization of complex scenes
- Multi-resolution rendering
- Haptic sensors and new human-shape interaction modalities
- Psychophysics of 3D sensing and haptics
- 3D printing and rapid prototyping
- Augmented reality and virtual environments
- 3D tele-immersion and remote collaboration

Application areas include:
