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

第四届3D数据处理、可视化和传输国际研讨会(3DPVT‘08)第四届3D数据处理、可视化和传输国际研讨会(3DPVT)将于6月18日至20日在佐治亚州亚特兰大举行。研讨会的目标是将来自从事3D数据工作的不同社区的领先研究人员、学生和行业代表聚集在一起，介绍他们的研究并讨论3D数据处理、可视化和传输方面的最新技术。范围包括3D传感器技术、计算机视觉、计算机图形学、增强和虚拟现实、医学成像、视频和几何压缩、触觉、3D电视、游戏和娱乐等领域。组委会由佐治亚理工学院的总主席Frank Dellaert(PI)和Jarek Rossignec领导，以及该项目的联合主席Stefan Gumhold(德累斯顿大学)、Jana Kosecka(乔治梅森大学)和Oliver Staadt(罗斯托克大学计算机科学研究所)。随着传感器技术和处理能力的最近进步，各种形式的3D数据已经开始在众多科学领域和日常生活中发挥更大的作用。3DPVT是一个在其推荐和邀请的项目中展示和发表高质量研究和应用论文的场所。它的主题领域虽然多种多样，但为富有成效的合作提供了相当大的机会。此外，组委会还确认了三位杰出的研究人员作为主旨演讲人参加，他们将阐述每个领域的进展和挑战，促进多学科研究与合作。总而言之，3DPVT的目标是在思想传播方面做出贡献，并在多学科背景下建立自己的领先会议，在迄今尚未探索的方向上带来新的研究。会议的一个重要的更广泛的方面是通过NSF的资助使更多的学生参与成为可能。对于初级研究人员来说，参加多学科会议是一种宝贵的教育经验，他们可以说，通过接触与自己直接相关但可能来自非常不同的学科的工作，他们可以获得更多好处。为了实现这一目标，组委会一直努力将学生注册费用保持在尽可能低的水平，我们不会让学生承担受邀项目的费用。此外，有两个机制旨在进一步增加学生的参与：(1)由项目主席选择的优秀论文的美国学生作者将获得旅行奖励。(2)美国学生将能够申请注册费减免，希望吸引原本可能无法入学的美国学生。遴选将由总主席进行，并将着眼于扩大任职人数不足的群体以及必须远道而来参加专题讨论会的群体的参与。

AbstractFourth International Symposium on 3D Data Processing, Visualization and Transmission (3DPVT '08)The Fourth International Symposium on 3D Data Processing, Visualization and Transmission (3DPVT) will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, between the 18 and 20 of June. The goal of the symposium is to bring together leading researchers from the different communities that work with 3D data, students and representatives of the industry to present their research and discuss the state of the art in the processing, visualization and transmission of 3D data. The scope includes the fields of 3D sensor technology, computer vision, computer graphics, augmented and virtual reality, medical imaging, video and geometry compression, haptics, 3D television, games and entertainment. The organizing committee is lead by the general chairs Frank Dellaert (the PI) and Jarek Rossignec, both at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the program co-chairs Stefan Gumhold (University of Technology Dresden), Jana Kosecka (George Mason University), and Oliver Staadt (Institute of Computer Science, University of Rostock).With the recent advances in sensor technology and processing capabilities, 3D data in various forms have begun playing a bigger role in numerous fields of science and everyday life. 3DPVT is a venue for the presentation and publication of high-quality research and application papers in both its refereed and invited programs. While diverse, its topic areas present considerable opportunities for productive collaborations. In addition, the organizing committee has confirmed three distinguished researchers to participate as keynote speakers, who will illustrate the progress and the challenges in each area and promote multi-disciplinary research and collaboration. In summary, the goal for 3DPVT is to contribute in the spreading of ideas and establish itself as a leading conference in a multi-disciplinary context, leading to new research in hitherto unexplored directions.An important broader aspect of the conference is the increased student participation made possible through NSF funding. Attending multidisciplinary conferences is a valuable educational experience for junior researches, who have arguably more to gain by being exposed to work that is directly related to their own but comes from potentially very different disciplines. In order to achieve this, the organizing committee has strived to keep student registration costs as low as possible and we will not burden students with the cost of the invited program. In addition, two mechanisms are intended to further increase student participation: (1) travel awards will be given to US student authors of outstanding papers, chosen by the program chairs. (2) US students will be able to apply for the registration fee waiver, in the hope of drawing in US students that might otherwise not be able to attend. Selection will be done by the general chairs and will be done with an eye towards broadening participation from underrepresented groups as well as those having to travel further to attend the symposium.
