Point-Based Graphics 2006 - Call for Papers

Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the
IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC)
In Cooperation with ACM/SIGGRAPH

The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric models, especially those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a growing interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the highly successful 2004 and 2005 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 3rd symposium of its series, PBG06, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains. The PBG06 will take place in Boston, MA, July 29-30, 2006, and will be co-located with SIGGRAPH and the International Workshop on Volume Graphics. The best papers of PBG06 will additionally be published in a special issue of Computers & Graphics. We invite your original contributions in areas including, but not limited to, the following:

  • Data acquisition and surface reconstruction
  • Geometric modeling using point primitives
  • Sampling, approximation, and interpolation
  • Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry
  • Rendering algorithms for point primitives
  • Geometry processing of point models
  • Topological properties of point clouds
  • Hardware architectures for point primitives
  • Animation and morphing of point-sampled geometry
  • Hybrid representations and algorithms
  • Use of point-based methods in real-world applications l
