SAMT Workshop on Semantic 3D Media (S-3D)
3 December 2008, Koblenz, Germany
http://www.focusk3d.eu/s-3d/
in conjunction with the
Third Int. Conf. on Semantics And digital Media Technology (SAMT)
http://samt2008.uni-koblenz.de/
submission deadline:
=================================================================
*Description*
Research in the fields of representation and processing of the semantics of
visual media has received a very high push in the last years. Semantic
3D Media
is highly interdisciplinary and its evolution is conditioned by how
experts in
Computer Graphics will be able to communicate and exchange ideas and
solutions
with the community of the Semantic Web.
S-3D wishes to establish a scientific forum for exchanging and
disseminating
novel ideas and techniques in the emerging research field of Semantic 3D
Media.
S-3D aims to foster the comprehension, adoption and use of knowledge
intensive
technologies for coding and sharing 3D media content in consolidated and
emerging application communities.
S-3D targets at the scientific community working in the field of 3D
graphics
and knowledge technologies and encourages a dialogue between researchers
and
3D content creators/users in a variety of application domains, such as
medicine
and bioinformatics, gaming and simulation, CAD and virtual product
modelling,
archaeology and cultural heritage.
The event is organized and sponsored by the EU FP7 IST project FOCUS K3D.
Prospective contributors are invited to submit papers (max 4 A4 pages)
at the
SAMT 2008 submission site: https://www.conftool.net/samt2008/
Topics include, but are not limited to:
* Semantics-driven 3D shape segmentation
* Formalization and representation of shape semantics
* Content-based 3D retrieval and classification
* Semantics-driven 3D visualization
* 3D media ontologies
* Semantics-based 3D modelling
* Knowledge driven multimedia content analysis and understanding
* Intelligent media creation and processing tools
* Knowledge based inference for semantic media annotation
Additionally, we will invite speakers who are recognized as important
contributors to the topic of the workshop. The workshop will end with a
panel
discussion session that will complement the scientific view with an
application
perspective on domain-specific issues.
The contributions will be reviewed by the program committee and the
accepted
ones will be presented during the workshop. We will seek journal
publication
opportunities for a selection of the workshop papers.
