You are kindly invited to submit abstracts, short papers and long papers
to the forth-coming
workshop on intelligent cinematography and editing (WICED) workshop
The workshop is in its third edition and is associated with the AAAI
conference
for the first time this year.
Please note that the deadline is April 10, only one week away !
Call For Papers: AAAI Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography And Editing
(WICED2014)
wiced.cameracontrol.org/2014/
Context
The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and
editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to
extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial
environments of games and virtual worlds.
Cinematics produced in virtual worlds play a role not just for
entertainment, but also for training, education, health-care
communication, simulation, visualization and many other contexts. The
automatic creation of cinematics in these environments holds the
potential to produce video sequences appropriate for the wide range of
applications and tailored to specific spatial, temporal, communicative,
user and application contexts.
At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor
and action recognition make it possible to envision novel
re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of
live-action video. This third workshop on intelligent cinematography and
editing is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront
research being performed in both domains. One common area of active
research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told
and its relation to teaching, training or therapeutic goals.
The workshop is open to researchers and industrial experts working on
the many related aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in
their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence,
computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive and
perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational
aesthetics and visual effects.
These researchers will draw upon cutting edge research and technologies
regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic
artworks in virtual worlds and the real world.
