The Engineering Reality of Virtual Reality 2014 (EI102)
Conference Chairs: Margaret Dolinsky, Indiana Univ. (USA); Ian E. McDowall, Fakespace Labs, Inc. (USA)
Due Dates:
Manuscript for Post-Meeting Proceedings: 6 January 2014
Virtual and augmented reality systems are evolving. In
addition to research, the trend toward content building
continues and practitioners find that technologies
and disciplines must be tailored and integrated for
specific visualization and interactive applications.
This conference serves as a forum where advances
and practical advice toward both creative activity and
scientific investigation are presented and discussed.
Research results can be presented and applications
can be demonstrated. In addition to the general
topic area, the 2014 conference is encouraging the
submission of work in the following areas:
• Advances in AR: Augmented reality is on the verge
of becoming a significant emergent technology
platform which is being developed, tested and
discussed throughout the media landscape. Is the
current interest in AR sustainable and substantial
or is AR destined to be a novelty? Papers that look
at the hardware, software, content and cultural
context behind cutting-edge AR are sought for the
conference. Topics might include AR UI and UX,
AR in education/learning, AR gaming, art in AR and
the future of AR.
• Compelling experiences: A compelling immersive
experience transports the user to a place that is
viscerally felt, not easily forgotten, yet completely
synthetic. This requires subtle interplay between
the technological and creative arts. Papers that
present working systems or ongoing research into
the delicate balance between these disciplines are
desired.
• Stubborn problems: interaction, tracking, lag,
rendering speed, field of view, resolution, et.al.
These are but a few of the topic areas which
vex the field every year. Papers presenting work
improving the state of the art in these areas are
encouraged. In addition, the 2014 conference is
specifically seeking work that explores aesthetics
and interaction in 3D environments.
• Industrial applications: systems that solve real-
world problems from a wide variety of disciplines
are a mainstay of the conference. It especially
promotes papers that describe systems which are
important because of the problems they solve,
and not the technology they use, and papers that
describe systems which can quantify their utility.
Practitioners in industry are highly encouraged to
make submissions.
• Women in VR: many women are key to the
advancement of the field of virtual reality, including
establishing hardware systems, forging research
directions and creating experiences. We invite
research activities that are influenced from a
feminine perspective. Papers presenting work by
women or derived from their research areas are
encouraged. The 2014 conference is specifically
seeking work that explores how a feminine
perspective discovers, examines and designs
virtual reality systems.
• Late-breaking progress: one to two presentations
are allotted for exciting ‘late-breaking’ work that
is submitted after the formal paper deadline but
within a month of the conference date. Papers
reporting on work-in-progress, last-minute results,
or interesting but incomplete findings are welcome
for these limited spots.

Abstract Requirement: 1,000 words (3 pages)
The following questions have to be specifically
addressed in the abstract:
1. what is the addressed scientific topic or problem?
2. what are the challenges and barriers faced?
3. why this is important for the 3D community?
4. what is the original method proposed to address
this problem or issue?
5. what is the novelty comparing to the state of art?
6. what is the efficiency of the method (presentation
of results and comparison with the state of art)?
If the submission does not respect this format (3 pages,
all the 6 points explicitly addressed, some preliminary
results shown), it will not be reviewed by the Program
Committee.
Scientific and technological advances in the fields
of image acquisition, processing, telecommunications,
and computer graphics during the last decade, have
contributed to the emergence of new multimedia,
especially 3D digital data. Nowadays, the acquisition,
processing, transmission, and visualization of three-
dimensional objects are a part of possible and
realistic functionalities over the internet. Confirmed
3D processing techniques exist and a large scientific
community hardly works on open problems and
new challenges, including 3D data processing,
transmission, fast access to huge 3D databases, or
content security management.
The emergence of 3D media is also directly related
to the emergence of the 3D acquisition technologies.
Indeed, recent advances in 3D scanner acquisition and
3D graphics rendering technologies boost the creation
of 3D model archives for several application domains.
These include archaeology, cultural heritage, Computer
Assisted Design (CAD), medicine, 3D face recognition,
videogames, or bioinformatics. New devices such
as time-of-flight cameras open challenging new
perspectives on 3D scene analysis and reconstruction.
Three-dimensional objects are quite more complex
to handle than other multimedia data, such as audio
signals, images, or videos. Indeed, only a unique and
simple 2D grid representation is associated to a 2D
image. All the 2D acquisition devices generate this
same representation (digital cameras, scanners or 2D
medical systems). Unfortunately (for the users) and
fortunately (for the scientists), there exist different three-
dimensional representations for a 3D object. An object
can be represented on a 3D grid like a digital image,
or in a 3D Euclidian space. In the later case, the object
can be expressed by a single equation (like algebraic
implicit surfaces), by a set of facets representing its
boundary surface or by a set of mathematical surfaces.
One can easily imagine the numerous open problems
related to these different representations and their
processing, a new challenge for the image processing
community.
This conference will be focused on the following
topics related to 3D data:
• video, 3D, 4D and multimodal imaging systems
• 3D/4D imaging metrology
• 3D/4D data preprocessing and filtering
• multiview data integration
• representations: models, tools for transformation,
simplification
• analysis: feature extraction, segmentation,
classification, pattern recognition
• 3D shape indexing and retrieval
• compression and communication
• security: encryption, watermarking
• scene analysis: from 2D views to 3D reconstruction
and interpretation
• 3D scene or model reconstruction from video,
standard cameras or time-of-flight cameras
• quality assessment
• hardware/software implementations
The applications domains are:
• multimedia services
• computer aided design (CAD)
• cultural heritage
• gaming
• tourism (e.g., virtual museum tours)
• medical imaging and analysis
• machine vision
• geographical information systems (GIS)
• 3D imaging technology

Visualization, Perception, and Color
The goal of this conference is to explore the role
of human perception and cognition in the design,
analysis, and use of electronic media systems. Over
the years, it has brought together researchers from
a wide variety of scientific and technical disciplines,
from all over the world, for a rich and lively exchange
of ideas. We believe that understanding the human
observer is fundamental to the advancement of
electronic media systems, and that advances in these
systems and applications are driving new research into
the perception, and cognition of the human observer.
This year, we will be organizing several special
sessions, centered on areas where HVEI papers have
had significant impact in the field of Electronic Imaging.
Each session will be kicked off by an invited paper that
reviews our scientific and technical contributions within
an historical context, and projects future directions.
Please submit abstracts for these sessions, or for any
of the other areas referenced below.

Manuscript for On-site Proceedings: 25 November 2013
Color imaging has historically been treated as a
constant phenomenon well described by three
independent parameters. Recent advances in
computational resources and in the understanding of
the human aspects are leading to new approaches
that extend the purely metrological view towards a
perceptual view of color in documents and displays.
Part of this perceptual view is the incorporation of
spatial aspects, adaptive color processing based on
image content and the automation of color tasks, to
name a few.
This dynamic nature applies to hardcopy devices,
but to an even larger extend to soft-copy displays.
Adaptive gamut and tone mapping, dynamic contrast,
adaptive power usage and color management continue
to support the unprecedented development of the
display hardware spreading from mobile displays to
large size screens.
This conference provides an opportunity for
presenting, as well as getting acquainted, with the most
recent developments in color imaging technologies and
applications. Focus of the conference is on color image
input, dynamic color image output and rendering, color
image automation, emphasizing color in context and
color in images, and on the reproduction of images
across local and remote devices. The conference
covers software, media, and systems. Special attention
is given to applications and requirements created by
new disciplines.
Areas of interest include:
• Image processing for color input, softcopy /
hardcopy output and electronic publishing:
automatic color correction, image preference
processing (automatic as well as user-guided),
visual tolerance, quantization, halftoning, data
compression and artifact reduction
• Color reproduction: spatial aspects of color, color
in context, color reproduction across devices,
network color management, color appearance,
color preference and estimation, chromatic
adaptation, computational color science, high-
dynamic range imaging and tone mapping, wide
gamut imaging systems, wide pixel encoding and
image processing pipelines
• Systems and architectures: device independent
color implementation in commercial systems,
color management, color matching device drivers,
system performance, imaging workflow
• Device modeling and characterization: paper UV
fluorescence, infra-red behavior, etc. and their
influence on rendering
• Effects of extra-spectral attributes: paper UV
fluorescence, infra-red behavior, etc. and their
influence on rendering
• Applications of color hard and soft copy: medical
imaging, cartography, fine arts, use of color
in documents, new communications media,
knowledge delivery
• Color image encoding and standards: interchange
languages, file formats, color encoding, ICC
profiles
• Representation and encoding of compound
documents: mixed raster content, multiplane
imaging models, document compression
• Spatial processing: exploring spatial aspects in
image processing, including spatial aspects of
human perception as it relates to image rendering.
The Special Session entitled ‘The Dark Side of
Color’ will group challenging questions, open
issues, alternative views, paradigm shifts, bottom up
experimentation, re-addressing the current state of
the color science, technology and applications. For
this session, we are looking for well-asked questions
rather than tangible results.

Abstract (500-1,000 words) and Summary (200 words): 22 July 2013
Manuscript for On-Site Proceedings: 25 November 2013
We live in a visual world. The perceived quality
of images is of crucial importance in industrial,
medical and entertaining application environments.
Developments in digital printing, flat panel displays,
camera sensors, image processing power, and 3D
imaging are enabling new or enhanced possibilities
for creating and conveying visual content that informs
or entertains. Wireless networks and mobile devices
expand the ways to share imagery.
The power of imaging rests directly on the visual
quality of the images and the systems that produce
them. As the images are generally intended to be
viewed by humans, consideration of the role of human
visual perception is intrinsic to the effective assessment
of image quality.
This conference brings together industrial and
academic engineers and scientists who strive to
understand what makes a high quality image and
how to assess the requirements and performance
of modern imaging systems. We focus on both
objective and subjective methods for evaluating the
perceptual quality of images. We include applications
throughout the imaging chain from image capture,
through processing, and on to output, whether printed
or displayed, whether video or still images, whether
2D or 3D. We welcome abstracts describing recent
developments in the following and related areas:
Image quality objective and subjective evaluation
• image quality attributes characterization and
metrics
• psychophysical testing and scaling
• integration of image quality attributes, pooling of
metrics

Extended Abstract (1,000 words, up to 4 pages including preliminary results)
and Summary (200 words): 22 July 2013
It is no exaggeration to say that digital photography
has revolutionized the world we live in. The number of
both still images and videos that are currently taken is
unprecedented. Thanks to smart phones, the average
person carries a high resolution camera everywhere
he goes, and captures more pictures and videos than
ever before. A wide range of consumer and professional
cameras offers new features that allow photographers
to capture high quality images even in challenging
situations. Even an inexperienced photographer can now
achieve excellent results. Advanced digital photography
technologies continue to revolutionize scientific research,
providing ways to capture data that were previously
unobtainable. They also play a crucial role in industry,
defense, health care and many other areas. Intensive

and electronics manufacturing, have been employing
machine vision technology for several years. Machine
vision supporting handling robots is another main topic
for industrial applications. There is need of accurate,
fast and robust detection of objects and their position in
space. Their surface, the background and illumination is
uncontrolled, in most cases the objects of interest are
within a bulk of many others. For both new and existing
industrial users of machine vision, there are numerous
innovative methods to improve productivity, quality,
and compliance with product standards.
There are several broad problem areas that have
received significant attention in recent years. For
example, some industries are collecting enormous
amounts of image data from product monitoring
systems. New and efficient methods are required to
extract insight and to perform process diagnostics
based on this historical record. Regarding the
physical scale of the measurements, microscopy
techniques are nearing resolution limits in fields such
as semiconductors, biology, and other nanoscale
technologies. Techniques such as resolution
enhancement, model-based methods, and statistical
imaging may provide the means to extend these
systems beyond current capabilities. Furthermore,
obtaining real-time and robust measurements in-line or
at-line in harsh industrial environments is a challenge
for machine vision researchers, especially when the
manufacturer cannot make significant changes to their
facility or process.
Abstracts are sought that are related to both novel
applications of existing methodology and/or new
algorithms or techniques. Abstracts are encouraged
from, but not limited to, the following list of topics:
• image processing algorithms and applications

Abstract (1,000 words) and Summary (200 words): 22 July 2013
With the advent of low-cost/high-performance video
sensors, imaging platforms, and computational
equipment, it has become increasingly possible to
process video streams in real-time on affordable cloud
computational servers, desktop systems, and various
hand held mobile devices. Major applications of these
technologies span the spectrum from surveillance,
transportation, remote sensing, social media, sports,
retail, and biomedical to name a few. Only recently
has the potential for these technologies begun to
be realized in various commercial, government and
consumer based applications. For instance, automated
video understanding can enhance surveillance/
monitoring systems beyond what is possible for
human operators alone. These systems are being
developed to maintain long-term surveillance on large
numbers of video streams for various applications
with minimal or no manual intervention. In addition,
automated systems can coordinate multiple cameras
and provide “synopsis” views of activities that can be
used to predict/analyze potential events pre or post
mortem. On the other hand, transportation systems,
the life blood of our economic and social lives, are far
from their ideal state. Vehicle accidents are the number
one cause of death in the US for ages 4 to 34, and
expected to surpass disease as a cause of death for
all ages worldwide by 2020. By some estimates, half
the fuel consumed in San Francisco is consumed while
searching for a parking space. Vehicular congestion is a
leading cause of lost productivity and the fuel efficiency
considerations have traditionally received very limited
attention in the design of present day systems.
Over the past two decades, various video analytics
algorithms have been proposed for autonomous
understanding of events for a variety of surveillance
and transportation type applications. While most
of the earlier solutions started from raw data and
followed with the interpretation at increasing levels of
semantic complexity, more recent techniques attempt
to bridge the gap between signal-level and semantic
level processing. Technological solutions to problems
in these areas have the potential for very significant
societal impacts on many fronts from airport/stadium/
building/city security to patient/elderly care. There is an
emerging global effort to develop effective surveillance
systems to monitor various facilities and smarter
transportation networks to improve fuel efficiency,
safety, and reduce emissions and congestions in
various metropolitan areas throughout the world.
This Call for Papers is intended to bring together
world class researchers and practitioners that develop
and deploy imaging and video technologies to enable
novel solutions for problems in the surveillance, security
and transportation arenas. Topics for consideration
include, but are not limited to:
Law enforcement

platforms

Media Processing and Communication
The ease of capturing, manipulating, distributing,
and consuming digital media (e.g. images, audio,
video, graphics, and text) have raised a number
of important security challenges to the forefront.
These issues have prompted significant research
and development activities in the areas of digital
watermarking, steganography, data hiding, forensics,
media identification and encryption to protect the
authenticity, security, and ownership of media objects.
Research results in these areas have also prompted
new paradigms and applications to monetize media
objects without violating their ownership rights.
The SPIE Media Watermarking, Security, and
Forensics conference is now established as a premier
destination for disseminating high quality cutting edge
research in these areas. The conference provides an
excellent venue for researchers and practitioners to
present their innovative and significant work as well
as to keep abreast with the latest developments in
watermarking, security and forensics. A unique feature
of the conference is that the submission process only
requires an extended abstract describing the work in
progress, with the full paper to be submitted only a
few weeks before the event. This allows researchers
to present early results and innovative ideas fresh from
the laboratory to motivate new research directions in a
timely manner. The final paper length can be anywhere
between 6 and 12 pages.
The areas of interest of this conference include, but
are not limited to:
• digital watermarking and steganography:
algorithms, theoretical models, applications,
implementation, benchmarking, security, systems,
protocols, attacks, steganalysis.
• media forensics and authentication: fingerprinting
and traitor tracing, device identification, content
authentication, computer forensics, recovery of
deleted multimedia, Near Duplicate Image/Video
Retrieval.

substrate and printing technology, optically
variable security, authentication and examination.
• biometrics and user identification: feature
extraction and management, security, attacks and
countermeasures, multimodal biometric, biometric
template protection and authentication, biometric
systems and protocols, biometric for mobile
computing applications.
• media identification and physical object
Identification and Interaction: watermarking, digital
fingerprinting, robust hashing, media database
search, mobile visual search, data-hardware
security, packaging protection, RFID tags, barcode
technology, Near Field Communication (NFC), the
internet of things.
