Mirage 2011 5th International Conference on Computer Vision / Computer Graphics Collaboration Techniques and Applications |

October 10-11 2011 INRIA Rocquencourt, France |
The proceedings of Mirage 2011 (LNCS volume 6930) are available at springer on-line.
Mirage 2011 is an international conference with focus on Computer Vision/Computer Graphics collaboration techniques involving image analysis/synthesis approaches. In the domain of Computer Vision, this analysis by synthesis collaboration may take the form of model-based approaches for which the analysis, recognition or understanding process does not rely on the data only but is linked to the optimization of a parametric model introduced A PRIORI.
In the field of Computer Graphics, this thematic refers to image-based approaches which found the modeling, animation, lighting or rendering process on the analysis of real pre-existing data in order to gain in productivity or in realism. In both cases, this extraction and synthesis collaboration can be iterative and conducted in a loop: the synthesized information laying the foundations for a better characterization that will in turn enable the synthesis step. Augmented Reality is a direct application of this collaboration . Authors are encouraged to submit papers on theoretical, computational, experimental or industrial aspects of model-based image analysis and image-based model synthesis.
All presentations at this conference will be oral ones (no posters).
Mirage 2011 will be held in the new Jacques-Louis Lions conference room of the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre on October 10-11 2011. The INRIA Rocquencourt research centre is located at a short drive of the historic Versailles castle. The Gala dinner will take place on the main floor of the Chateau Des Mesnuls where attendees will be able to feel the warm (unforgettable!) atmosphere of ancient times.
Invited presentations
Peter Eisert, Fraunhofer HHI / Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany.
Presentation: 3D Video Processing
Movie visual effects are a showcase application area for graphics and vision algorithms. Large effects movies may involve hundreds of person-years of manual artistic effort, and a significant part of this involves reconstructing the geometry or motion of filmed actors, objects, and environments. Visual effects facilities are increasingly tracking and adopting academic research in these areas. This talk will present successful applications of computer vision and related algorithms in movies such as Avatar. The talk will also identify assumptions in academic research that sometimes prevent the easy adoption of otherwise promising research efforts.

Presentation: Computer Vision for the Movies: Prospects and Obstacles
Movie visual effects are a showcase application area for graphics and vision algorithms. Large effects movies may involve hundreds of person-years of manual artistic effort, and a significant part of this involves reconstructing the geometry or motion of filmed actors, objects, and environments. Visual effects facilities are increasingly tracking and adopting academic research in these areas. This talk will present successful applications of computer vision and related algorithms in movies such as Avatar. The talk will also identify assumptions in academic research that sometimes prevent the easy adoption of otherwise promising research efforts.

Venue and transportation
The Symposium will take place in the new Jacques-Louis Lions conference room within the INRIA Rocquencourt research centre. The center can be easily reached by car, by train or by bus, either by taking public transportations or the free INRIA facilities. The different routes are fully detailed on the INRIA special webpage.
Should a sufficient number of people be interested, a free daily shuttle between Paris and Rocquencourt could be provided. If you are interested, please tick the appropriate box on the registration form.
Registration fees do not include lodging and travel expenses. Some information on accommodation in Paris or Versailles is available on the Paris and Versailles web sites.
In case of any problem as well as for additional information, do not hesitate to get in touch with the conference office (Chantal Girodon) which will operate during the whole conference.
Conference languages
The official conference language is English.
Paper submission and review process
Prospective authors should prepare a full paper and submit it electronically. The paper should consist of 8-12 pages in A4 format and should conform to the style guidelines outlined on the Mirage 2011 website. LaTeX style sheets (preferred), MSWord templates and detailed information on the submission process can be found on the Mirage 2011 website.
All submissions will be reviewed by at least 2 members of the Program Committee; additional reviewers will be consulted if necessary. The papers should provide sufficient background information and should clearly indicate the original contribution. They should state and discuss the main results and provide adequate references.
Confererence proceedings
Accepted papers will be published in the LNCS series of SPRINGER VERLAG.

Mirage 2011 Registration
Due to security policy, the number of seats at the conference is strictly limited: thus, early registration is strongly recommended. Online registration is possible on the registration website. Fees will be fully returned for any written cancellation received up to 8 days before the conference. No refund will be made in respect of cancellation received after this date.
Registration fees include free access to any exhibition within the conference, a copy of the conference proceedings, lunches and coffee breaks; a social program will also be available. Registration fees do not cover lodging and travel expenses.
Note that one registration fee must be paid for each accepted paper.
