CFP for APGV'08: FIFTH SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED PERCEPTION IN GRAPHICS AND VISUALIZATION

Hi,

Enclosed please find a call-for-papers for APGV'08: FIFTH SYMPOSIUM
ON APPLIED PERCEPTION IN GRAPHICS AND VISUALIZATION
APGV'08 would be very interested in submissions from the HDRI field
with some perception component.

Best wishes,

Karol Myszkowski

APGV'08: FIFTH SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED PERCEPTION
IN GRAPHICS AND VISUALIZATION

Co-located with ACM Siggraph in Los Angeles, USA
9th - 10th August, 2008
http://www.apgv.org

FIRST CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
----------------------------

Research in computer graphics and visualization has great potential
to benefit from, and contribute to, research in perception.
Since 2004, this symposium has brought together researchers
from the fields of perception, graphics, and visualization, to facilitate
a wider exchange of ideas.

Submissions are invited in the broad range of areas at the intersection
of computer graphics, visualization, and perception to fulfill two goals
of this multidisciplinary community.

Goal 1. Use insights from perception to advance the design of methods
for visual, auditory and haptic representation. Specific examples include,
but are not limited to:

* applications of insights from perception to the development of algorithms
for more efficient, effective or realistic modeling, rendering and/or animation
* applications of perception in the design and evaluation of methods for more
effective representation and communication of data
* computational aesthetics, stylization and perceptual aspects of non-photorealistic
rendering
* perceptual issues arising due to fusion of digital imaging, computer vision,
and computer graphics techniques
* perception-inspired interfaces for immersive activities in virtual worlds

Goal 2. Advance and facilitate novel basic perception and cognition research that uses
and is relevant to applications in computer graphics and visualization. Here specific
examples include, but are not limited to:

* perception and visuomotor control in computer games, virtual
and augmented environments
* fundamental contributions in spatial and temporal vision
* integration of empirical perception research with computational models
* color vision and color appearance modeling
* the influence of attention and eye movements on visual perception and visual memory
* statistical learning and perception of natural scenes
* perception of shapes, surfaces and materials
* visual illusions and perceptual organization having potential to enhance image depiction

Proceedings, which will include the poster abstracts, will be published by
ACM SIGGRAPH. Best papers from the symposium will be invited
to be extended for a special issue of the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception.

By collocating APGV 08 with the thirty-fifth annual SIGGRAPH Conference
(SIGGRAPH 08), we aim to further promote communication between
the core perception and the core computer graphics communities,
and also bring APGV back to the United States.
