Daniela Lopez de Luise CALL FOR PAPERS—— CGI 2023
COMPUTER GRAPHICS INTERNATIONAL, CGI 2023, Shanghai, Aug. 28- Sept. 01, 2023
http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi23/
CGI is one of the oldest annual international conferences on Computer Graphics in the world. Researchers are invited to share their experiences and novel achievements in various fields of Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality. Previous recent CGI conferences have been held in Sydney, Australia (2014), Strasbourg, France (2015), Heraklion, Greece (2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), and Calgary in Canada (2019). CGI has been virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COVID pandemic.
This year, CGI 2023 is organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and University of Sydney, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS), CGI 2023 will (hopefully) be held as a hybrid event – allowing both onsite and online participation – in Shanghai.

Please note that there is a maximum file size of 40 MB per submission.
We strongly encourage authors to improve the reproducibility of their research along three directions: open data, open implementations, and appropriate evaluation design and reporting. Where possible, we invite authors to use open data or to make their data and code available for open access by other researchers.
Note that for ALL submissions, the review process is double blind, which requires the paper and all supplemental materials to be anonymous. Ensure that self-referencing is anonymous (refer to your full name rather than “I” or “we”). Avoid providing information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g. co-workers and grant IDs) and in the supplemental material (e.g. titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines will lead to rejection without review.

Call for CGI 2023 Workshops
The CGI 2023 conference will host a variety of satellite events including workshops, challenges, and tutorials. Workshops have become essential components of CGI conferences, particularly as the field has undergone steady growth and has expanded into a diverse set of areas. The deadline for submission of workshop/special sessions proposals is 25 February 2023. Final decisions on revised proposals will be 8 March 2023. More details can be found in the website:
http://www.cgs-network.org/cgi23/workshops-special-sessions/
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Call for CGI 2023 Challenges
Among other satellite events, challenges have become an integral part of CGI 2023. Their aim is to provide a fair and direct comparison of different methodological solutions to a common problem. Challenges should address a well-defined open problem relevant to computer graphics and virtual reality, provide high-quality data for testing / training algorithms, and define a clear assessment procedure. Examples of topics from previous challenges include: rendering, modeling, animation, segmentation, detection and visualization. Proposals related to accessible, fair, responsible, and translational graphics applications are particularly welcome. The deadline for submission of challenge proposals is 25 February 2023.Final decisions on revised proposals will be 8 March 2023. More details can be found in the website:

Call for Papers
Due to the recent boom in artificial intelligence technologies, there are growing expectations that fully autonomous driving may become a reality in the near future and it is expected to bring fundamental changes to our society. Fully autonomous vehicles offer great potential to improve efficiency on roads, reduce traffic accidents, increase productivity, and minimize our environmental impact in the process.
As a key component of autonomous driving, autonomous vehicle vision (AVVision) systems are typically developed based on cutting-edge computer vision, machine/deep learning, image/signal processing, and advanced sensing technologies. With recent advances in deep learning, AVVision systems have achieved compelling results. However, there still exist many challenges. For instance, the perception modules cannot perform well in poor weather and/or illumination conditions or in complex urban environments. Developing robust and all-weather visual environment perception algorithms is a popular research area that requires more attention. In addition, most perception methods are computationally-intensive and cannot run in real-time on embedded and resource-limited hardware. Therefore, fully exploiting the parallel-computing architecture, such as embedded GPUs, for real-time perception, prediction, and planning is also a hot subject that is being researched in the autonomous driving field. Furthermore, existing supervised learning approaches have achieved compelling results, but their performance is fully dependent on the quality and amount of labeled training data. Labeling such data is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Un/self-supervised learning approaches and domain adaptation techniques are, therefore, becoming increasingly crucial for real-world autonomous driving applications.
Research papers are solicited in, but not limited to, the following topics:
• 3D geometry reconstruction for autonomous driving;
• Driving scene understanding;
• Self-supervised/unsupervised visual environment perception;
• Driver status monitoring and human-car interfaces;
• Deep/machine learning and image analysis for autonomous vehicle perception;
• Adversarial domain adaptation for autonomous driving.
