Call for Papers

Shape Modeling International (SMI 2021) provides an international forum for the dissemination of new mathematical theories and computational techniques for modeling, simulating, and processing digital representations of shapes and their properties to a community of researchers, developers, students, and practitioners across a wide range of fields. Conference proceedings will be published in a Special Issue of Computer & Graphics Journal, Elsevier. Papers presenting original research are being sought in all areas of shape modeling and its applications.

Topics

Acquisition and reconstruction
Behavior and animation models
Compression and streaming
Computational topology
Correspondence and registration
Curves and surfaces
Deep Learning Techniques for Shape Processing
Digital fabrication and 3D printing
Exploration of shape collections
Feature extraction and classification
Healing and resampling
Implicit surfaces
Interactive modeling, design and editing
Medial and skeletal representations
Parametric and procedural models
Segmentation
Semantics of shapes
Shape analysis and retrieval
Shape correspondence and retrieval
Shape modeling applications (biomedical, GIS, artistic, cultural heritage, and others)
Shape statistics
Shape transformation, bending, and deformation
Simulation
Sketching and 3D input modalities
Triangle and polygonal meshes
Shape modeling for 3D printing and fabrication
Biomedical applications
Artistic and cultural applications

Submission Guidelines

Papers should present previously unpublished, original results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere.

Submissions should be formatted according to the style guidelines for the Computers &Graphics Journal and should not exceed 12 pages, including figures and references. We strongly recommend using the LaTeX template to format your paper. We also accept papers formatted by MS Word according to the style guidelines for Computers & Graphics. The file must be exported to a pdf file for the first round of submission. For format details, please refer to Computers & Graphics Guide for Authors.

The SMI 2021 conference will use a double-blind review process. Consequently, all submissions must be anonymous. All papers should be submitted directly via the journal online submission system of Computers & Graphics. When submitting your paper to SMI 2021, please make sure that the type of article is specified by "SI: SMI 2021".

Any accepted paper is required to have at least one registered author to attend and present the paper at the conference. We are planning to make registration free for all attendees.

Location

Important notice to all attendees: SMI 2021 will be organized as a teleconference due to the coronavirus outbreak. The conference program will be exactly the same as in previous years; it will include paper presentations, keynote talks, and several workshops but everything will be done using remote conferencing services. All attendees will participate in the conference remotely with video/audio and slide sharing; there will be no on-site participation.
