[photo-3d] Stereoscopic Displays and Applications - Call for Papers

[Andrew Woods <A.Woods@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS:

Stereoscopic Displays and Applications XII (EI07)
------------------------------------------

 Conference Chairs: Andrew J. Woods, Curtin Univ. of Technology (Australia);
                    John O. Merritt, The Merritt Group;
                    Stephen A. Benton, MIT Media Lab. 

 Program Committee: Neil A. Dodgson, Univ. of Cambridge (UK); 
                    Janusz Konrad, INRS-Telecommunications (Canada); 
                    Shojiro Nagata, Japan 3D Forum/InterVision (Japan); 
                    Vivian K. Walworth, Rowland Institute for Science; 
                    Michael A. Weissman, Karl Storz Imaging, Inc. 

This conference will focus on recent advances in stereoscopic imaging 
covering topics such as 3D display hardware, developments in computer 
software and digital techniques, and applications that illustrate the 
user-interface issues and cost/benefit trade-offs of stereoscopic 3D 
displays. In both real-world and computer-generated imaging 
applications, stereoscopic 3D display technologies can enhance the 
user's ability to perceive objects in their correct spatial locations, 
to move through display space easily, and to manipulate objects 
efficiently and accurately. The parallel focus on human factors 
issues and applications requirements is intended to help guide future 
display system development and task-based evaluation of 3D 
technologies. The conference will help practitioners and researchers 
from industry and academia exchange current information on 
stereoscopic 3D techniques and applications. Hardware demonstrations 
of 3D technologies and applications are highly encouraged at the demo 
session that follows paper presentations. Facilities for large-screen
stereoscopic projection (both still and video) will be available for 
the presenters. 

Papers are solicited for, but are not limited to, the following topics: 

* advances in stereoscopic display technologies: autostereoscopic 
  displays, "virtual window" displays, stereoscopic projection, and 
  other 3D displays; methods for recording, playback, transmission, 
  and processing of stereoscopic video 
* digital stereoscopic imaging: digital processing and compression of
  stereoscopic imagery; stereoscopic image synthesis: 2D to 3D 
  conversion, depth map generation, and multi-viewpoint generation;
  transmission standards supporting digital stereoscopic images; 
  software and hardware issues for computer display of stereoscopic 
  images 
* 3D image acquisition/generation techniques: single- and multi-lens 
  camera systems; motion parallax, volume projection, graphical 
  construction, and other stereoscopic image generation techniques 
* design, development, and evaluation of stereoscopic display systems 
  for teleoperation, telerobotics, telepresence, telesurgery, and 
  augmented reality 
* applications of stereoscopic displays in areas such as scientific
  visualization, medical imaging, teleoperation and telepresence, 
  industrial inspection, communications, entertainment, 
  broadcast/cable TV, training, CAD/CAM, molecular modeling, 
  advertising, and others 
* human factors issues in stereoscopic display system evaluation: 
  benefits for processing and compression of stereoscopic images; task
  performance comparisons between stereoscopic and non-stereoscopic
  displays; side-benefits of stereoscopic display techniques; 
  evaluation methodologies (e.g., depth-acuity measurement) and 
  task-performance testing 
* user-interface issues in stereoscopic display system design: 
  perceptual and cognitive guidelines for stereoscopic displays;
  3D remote manipulation and control of viewpoint; ortho-stereo, 
  hyper-stereo, and the geometry of 3D perceptual space
* standards for stereoscopic imaging.
