3DTV-CON 2009 =============

3rd 3DTV Conference The True Vision Capture, Transmission and Display of 3D Video

Website: www.3dtv-con2009.org Dates:   May 04-06, 2009 Location: Potsdam, Germany

Capturing 3D scenery, processing the captured data for storage and transmission, and displaying the result for creating 3D visual sensation are the main functional components of a 3DTV system. 3DTV-CON 2009 is the 3rd in a series of successful conferences having the objective to bring together researchers and developers from academia and industry with diverse experience and activity in distinct, yet complementary, areas contributing so that full-scale 3D video capabilities are seamlessly integrated.

The conference involves a wide range of disciplines: imaging and computer graphics, signal processing, telecommunications, electronics, optics and physics. Professionals from these areas are cordially invited to attend 3DTV-CON 2009 and take part of its work. The conference will consist of tutorials, plenary talks, and special and regular sessions on to the conference themes as listed below.

-3D Capture and Processing: 3D scene capture and reconstruction techniques for static and dynamic scenes, synchronization and calibration of multiple cameras, holographic camera techniques, multi-view and multi-sensor image and 3D data processing, mixing of virtual and real worlds, 3D tracking. -3D Coding and Transmission: Systems, architectures and transmission for 3DTV, coding of multi-view video, 3D meshes, and holograms, error resilience and error concealment of 3D video and 3D geometry -3D Visualization: Projection and display technology for 3D videos, stereoscopic and auto-stereoscopic display techniques, holographic display technology, reduced parallax systems, integral imaging techniques, 3D mesh, texture, point, and volume-based representation, object- based representation and segmentation, 3D motion animation, human factors. -3D Applications: 3D television, cinema, games and entertainment, virtual studios, 3D teleimmersion and remote collaboration, 3D imaging in virtual heritage and virtual archaeology, augmented reality and virtual environments, underlying technologies for 3DTV, medical and biomedical applications, 3D content-based retrieval and recognition, 3D watermarking, other applications.

PAPER SUBMISSION: Prospective authors are invited to submit original papers, four-pages long, in double-column format including authors' names, affiliations, and short abstract. Papers will be   collected only by electronic submission trough the conference site www.3dtv-con2009.org.
