Call for Papers
Volume graphics deals with the analysis, synthesis and presentation
of volumetric phenomena, both static and time-varying. Specifically,
it includes topics, both volumetric and point-based, related to the
acquisition, reconstruction and transformation of volume data as
well as feature analysis, information extraction and rendering.
Research papers are solicited that present original, unpublished
results concerning all aspects of volume graphics and point-based
graphics. We especially invite research contributions that report
computational techniques derived from existing knowledge in
numerical analysis, signal processing and statistical modeling.
Furthermore, papers are solicited which demonstrate the efficacy of
the methods of volume graphics or point-based graphics in enhancing
practices or understanding of specific applications
The accepted papers will be published in the printed Symposium
Proceedings, future digital access will be provided by the
Eurographics Digital Library in cooperation with VGTC Publishing. A
selected number of the best papers will be further invited to submit
an extended version to the
IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics
(pending approval by TVCG).
For paper preparation please refer to the detailed
guidelines. General EG Publication Guidelines.
A pdf version of the call for papers is available here.
