Preface

The 25th Pacific Conference on Computer Graphics and Applications (Pacific Graphics 2017) was held in Taipei,Taiwan, on October 16-19, 2017. Pacific Graphics is one of flagship conferences of Asia Graphics Association.As a highly successful conference series, Pacific Graphics provides a premium forum for researchers, developers,and practitioners in the Pacific Rim and around the world to present and discuss new problems, solutions, andtechnologies in computer graphics and related areas.

There were 98 papers submitted, which were reviewed by a program committee of 102 international experts, as wellas 195 external reviewers. Of these submissions, 22 papers were selected for full oral presentation at the conference,as well as for inclusion in this issue of Computer Graphics Forum. Each paper received at least 4 reviews by membersof the program committee and external experts. Each of the accepted papers underwent a second review cycle toensure that the necessary revisions indicated in the reviews were carried out.

In addition to the paper presentations, the conference also featured three invited talks by Hirokazu Kato, JohannesKopf, and Miguel A. Otaduy. There was also a short paper session, where seven short papers were presented. Theshort papers are published electronically through the EG Digital Library. The topics of the papers in this volumeare diverse, including fabrication and design, analyzing geometries, coloring rendering and sampling, video andvisualization, interaction and creation, reconstruction and generation based on RGBD Images, representing andediting Images, and simulation and animation. Some of the papers were submitted with supplementary materialsthat EUROGRAPHICS members can access through the EG Digital Library.

We would like to thank the authors and participants at the conference, the program committee members, and theexternal reviewers, all of whom made their best effort to ensure the high quality of the Pacific Graphics 2017technical program. We also wish to thank The Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan, Digital DomainHoldings Limited, Rayark Inc., NTU IoX Center, CyberLink Corp., Industrial Technology Research Institute, andInternational Games System Co. Ltd, for their financial support. Finally, we would like to thank Stefanie Behnke,whose administrative help and technical support was invaluable.

Computer Animation Fuels new Design Engines

Miguel A. OtaduyAssociate professor of Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (URJC Madrid)

AbstractDesign is ubiquitous, and computer graphics has been an integral tool for design since the early days of CAD.The relevance of CAD in computer graphics is experiencing a revival, and computer animation is no exception.Computer animation provides a means to create computer models of objects, bodies, or other phenomena, whichcan then be used within a CAD application. Beyond movies and video games, computer animation enjoys theopportunity to transform the way in which we approach design. This talk will cover several examples of computergraphics research, where computer animation models, together with optimization tools, build the engine of designapplications. The examples cover the animation of diverse materials such as skin, soft tissue, cloth, or flexiblefabrication materials, and they find impact in diverse applications such as medicine, fabrication, or fashion.

Short BiographyMiguel Otaduy is a professor at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, where he leads the Multimodal Simulation Laboratoryhttp://mslab.es. He obtained his PhD in computer science at the University of North Carolina in 2004, and he was aresearch associate at ETH Zurich from 2005 to 2008, when he joined URJC. His research seeks novel models andalgorithms to simulate mechanical phenomena in a wide variety of applications involving dynamic systems. Theseinclude medical training and planning, computer animation and videogames, computational design and virtual pro-totyping, computer haptics or virtual touch, and even molecular dynamics for drug design. He pays special interestto the robust and efficient solution of contact and interaction between different objects, particles, or materials. Heaims to develop solutions from different angles, including geometric algorithms, efficient discretizations, numericalmethods, directable simulation, the use of precomputed or measured data, massively parallel computing, or userinteraction. Miguel Otaduy is currently associate editor for the IEEE Trans. on Visualization and Computer Graph-ics and the IEEE Robotics & Automation Letters. He has also served as program chair for the ACM SIGGRAPH /Eurographics Symp. on Computer Animation, the ACM SIGGRAPH Symp. on Interactive 3D Graphics & Games,and the IEEE World Haptics Conference.

Image-based Modeling and Rendering

Johannes KopfResearch Scientist of Facebook

AbstractThe field of computer vision has long been working on the problem of reconstructing three-dimensional modelsfrom two-dimensional images, while the field of computer graphics has been—in a way—working on the oppositeproblem of rendering compelling two-dimensional images from a given three-dimensional scene description. Thetwo fields are coming together in the area of Image-based Modeling and Rendering (IBMR). These methods performa purpose-driven reconstruction and re-projection of a set of input images or video with the goal of synthesizingnovel views of the same scene or performing other interesting image manipulations. Compared to modeling fromscratch, IBMR often has often the advantage of better retaining the photographic quality of the input image set. Inaddition, the reconstruction is often automatic, which makes the systems suitable for casual users. In this talk I willlook at the (more recent) history of this area and present a selection of interesting systems and algorithms, focusingon practical applications. I will also discuss open problems and interesting directions for future research in this area.

Short BiographyJohannes Kopf is a research scientist in the Computational Photography group at Facebook in Seattle. Before joiningFacebook, he has been working for Microsoft Research, and even before, he received a PhD from the Universityof Konstanz, Germany. Johannes has received the Eurographics Young Researcher Award in 2013, and the ACMSIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award in 2015 for his contributions to the fields of digital imaging andvideo. Johannes’ work is in the fields of computer graphics and vision. More specifically, his past research spansa variety of areas including computational photography, image-based rendering, image and texture synthesis, anddigital imaging and video.

What is the Next Stage of Augmented Reality

Hirokazu KatoProfessor of Nara Institute of Science and Technology

AbstractAugmented Reality (AR) has been studied for more than 20 years. Nowadays we can see a lot of AR applicationssuch as PokemonGO. Some people think that AR technologies are almost completed and it has moved to a practicalphase. But it is not true because current AR applications are not ideal style of AR. AR researchers still have to makethe next breakthrough. In this talk, I would like to introduce my past works on AR and then explain my idea aboutwhat AR researchers have to do for the next breakthrough. After that I will briefly talk about my current researchworks which I am expecting to make the next breakthrough for AR.

Short BiographyDr. Hirokazu Kato received Dr. Eng. degrees from Osaka University, Japan in 1996. He has worked for OsakaUniversity and Hiroshima City University and since 2007 he has been working for Nara Institute of Science andTechnology. Dr. Kato has studied about Augmented Reality for more than 15 years. He developed a vision-basedtracking library called the ARToolKit in 1999 which has had a significant impact on the growth of AugmentedReality research. Dr. Kato received Virtual Reality Technical Achievement Award from IEEE VGTC in 2009 andLasting Impact Award at the 11th IEEE International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality in 2012.
