Welcome

The 8th IEEE/EG International Symposium on Volume Graphics, VG2010, will take place in Norrköping, Sweden, in May 2–3, 2010. It follows seven successful conferences in former years. VG2010 aims to bring together researchers from both the academic and industry sectors who are working, or wish to work, on volume graphics.

VG2010 will be co-located with Eurographics 2010 and in connection with Parallel Graphics and Visualization 2010, sharing lunches and social event, under the auspices of IEEE VGTC and Eurographics.

Volume graphics deals with the analysis, synthesis and presentation of volumetric phenomena, both static and time-varying. Specifically, it includes topics related to the acquisition, reconstruction and transformation of volume data as well as feature analysis, information extraction and rendering. It is capable of representing solid and soft objects, interiors as well as surfaces, and synthesizing graphical images in a true 3D manner. The symposium will continue to explore the potential of volume-based techniques beyond the scope of volume visualization as it is currently practiced.
