MAIN TRACK

Original unpublished papers are invited. All manuscripts submitted the SIBGRAPI 2019 Technical Paper Track (Main Track) must be in English and should have between six (6) and eight (8) pages, to be prepared following the SIBGRAPI format available below.

All full papers are to be double-blindly reviewed by at least three experts in the topic of the work. The final program will only include papers with at least one author registered with full registration rate for the conference. For manuscripts where at least one author is already registered at the full rate, this fulfills the obligation for up to one (1) paper (i.e., each paper must be associated with a different full registration). All papers included in the proceedings of the conference are distributed via IEEE Xplore (to be confirmed) and scheduled for oral presentation at SIBGRAPI. SIBGRAPI's proceedings are available online at IEEE Xplore (to be confirmed) and also at the SIBGRAPI Digital Library Archive maintained by the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE, Brazil).

The SIBGRAPI LaTeX style is available here:

Please follow the included instructions and the SIBGRAPI formatting guidelines, avoiding any change to the format (in particular the  \vspace command, or creating subsections or paragraphs with any command different from \subsection or \paragraph). The bibliography should be formatted with a 9pt font. Please do not change the font size, even in particular if it would helps to comply with the page limit! The illustrations of the paper should be generated either truly vectorial or rasterized with at least 300dpi.

Paper submission is handled via  the CMT system.

Since the review process is double-blind, authors must prepare their manuscripts without including any indication of their identities or institutional affiliations. Author's identities will be tracked only by the submission system, and visible only to the track chairs. The program committee members and referees who review the paper will not know the identity of the authors.

To ensure anonymity of authorship, authors must prepare their manuscript as follows:

• Funding sources must not be acknowledged anywhere in the paper during review.
• Authors' names and affiliations must not appear on the title page or elsewhere in the paper. Instead, please include under the title the id number assigned to your paper by the online paper registration system, for instance, by including the command \finalfalse in your LaTeX source.
• Research group members or other colleagues or collaborators must not be acknowledged anywhere in the paper.
• It is strongly suggested that the submitted file is named with the assigned submission id. For example, if your assigned paper id is 39352, name your submitted file 39352.pdf.
• Source file naming must also be done with care. For example, if your name is Jane Smith and you submit a PDF file generated from a .dvi file called Jane-Smith.dvi, one could infer your authorship by looking into the PDF file.
• You must also use care in referring to related past work, particularly your own. For example, avoid mention to your work as "In our previous work [1,2]...", prefer third person referencing as "In previous work [1,2]...". Despite the anonymity requirements, you should still include all relevant work of your own in the references, using the above style (omitting them could potentially reveal your identity by negation).

It is the responsibility of authors to do their best to preserve anonymity. Papers that do not follow the guidelines here, or otherwise potentially reveal the identity of the authors, are subject to immediate rejection.

All accepted papers are scheduled for either oral or poster presentation, according to the schedule defined for the Main Track. The oral presentations must fit in 15 minutes, with additional 5 minutes for discussion. Slides and presentation must be in English. The posters must be in the portrait format and fit the A0 paper size (84.1 cm x 118.9 cm). The poster support has a hanger on its top that can be used to hang the poster.

No-show papers are defined as accepted papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos,no remote cast) at the technical meeting. No-registration papers are defined as accepted papers where at least one author did not register with full paid registration rate (Professional SBC member or Professional non member) for the conference, where each paper must be associated with a different full paid registration. No-show and no-registration papers will not be included in the program and will be removed from the proceedings and from the IEEE Xplore.

The following categories of tutorials will be accepted: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.

• Elementary tutorials should complement the basic undergraduate curriculum in Engineering, Computer Science, and related areas, to entice students into following graduate studies in CG, CV, IP, or PR. Instructors should not assume that the audience has basic knowledge in these areas.
• Intermediate tutorials are targeted to students, professionals, and researchers who wish to learn advanced techniques in CG, CV, IP, and PR. Instructors may assume that the attendees are familiar with basic notions of mathematics and programming related to the subject.
• Advanced tutorials should cover state-of-the-art research, recent developments, emerging topics, and novel applications in CG, CV, IP, and PR.

All proposals will be blindly reviewed by at least two experts in the topic and will be judged by:

• Relevance for the conference;
• Expected size of the audience;
• Potential to attract participants to the conference;
• Originality; and
• Qualification of the instructors in the topic of the tutorial.

• First Page:
• Title;
• Level (elementary, intermediate or advanced);
• How many hours will be required (3h or 6h);
• Abstract;
• Next 7 pages:
• Motivation;
• Target audience;
• Interest for the CV, IP, CG and PR community;
• List of the topics to be presented, including:
• Estimated duration;
• Subtopics;

WORKSHOP OF THESES AND DISSERTATIONS (WTD)

Call for Workshop of Theses and Dissertations

The Workshop of Theses and Dissertations (WTD) aims at motivating discussions about the graduate-level research on topics covered by SIBGRAPI among graduate students, recently graduated students, and senior researchers. Researchers who have recently concluded their graduate studies are cordially invited to submit a paper to the SIBGRAPI WTD.

Students who defended their M.Sc or Ph.D. after 01/01/2018 and did not present their final work in previous editions of the SIBGRAPI WTD.

The WTD program committee will evaluate the submitted works with respect to the following criteria: originality, technical quality, contribution to the research area, and clarity of presentation.

Awards for the best Ph.D. and M.Sc. works will be given based on the scores of the papers (submission system) and the opinion of a small committee that will evaluate the posters.

To be eligible for an award, the student must present the paper in the WTD poster session. Ph.D. works must be presented in English. M.Sc. works may be presented in English or Portuguese, but English is preferable.

Both M.Sc. and Ph.D. works must be written in English. The text should follow the SIBGRAPI formatting guidelines with the following adjustments:

• The name of the authors should not be omitted, disregarding the requirement of anonymity for the articles. Students must appear as the first author and the advisor as the last author, with eventual co-advisors and other collaborators in the middle.
• The articles are limited to 6 double-column pages. An extra page can be used only for references.
• The text should indicate, by a footnote on the first page linked to the name of the first author, whether the work relates to an M.Sc. dissertation or a Ph.D. thesis.
• Awards, patents, publications or possible distinctions achieved as a result of the M.Sc. dissertation or the Ph.D. thesis should be listed in the last section of the paper.

Papers should be submitted through the WTD CMT system together with their respective M.Sc. dissertation or Ph.D. thesis in PDF file format. Accepted works must submit a camera-ready paper as well.

• SUBMISSION: article, and M.Sc. dissertation or Ph.D. thesis, in PDF file format.
• ACCEPTED WORKS: camera-ready paper.

Accepted works must be presented in the WTD poster session. All posters must have A0 paper size with portrait orientation (841 mm x 1189 mm).

No-show papers are defined as accepted papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos,no remote cast) at the technical meeting. No-registration papers for WTD are defined as accepted papers where at least one author did not register with Graduate Student paid registration rate (Graduate Student member, Graduate Student non member SBC or superior category) for the conference, where each paper must be associated with a different paid registration. No-show and no-registration papers will not be included in the program and will be removed from the proceedings.

WORKSHOP OF UNDERGRADUATE WORKS (WUW)

The main goals of the Workshop of Undergraduate Works (WUW) are to motivate undergraduate students involved in research projects on Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision to attend the SIBGRAPI conference and to provide opportunities and environment for these students to present and discuss their research among them and with experts in the area. Works may be submitted by any student currently enrolled in an undergraduate program or has graduated in the past 12 months. The work can be authored by one or more students but must have a professor responsible for the research in the list of authors. Thus, each paper must have at least two authors (one being the student's advisor). Accepted works will be presented in poster sessions

The WUW program committee will evaluate the submitted works with regard to the following criteria: originality, technical quality, research contribution and presentation. While the scientific contribution of the submission may be smaller than that of the full papers track, it is expected that a WUW submission includes a complete work with methodology and results. Submissions without at least preliminary results will be rejected. Awards will be given for the three best works presented at the WUW poster session by one of the author students.

Submissions can be written in English or Portuguese, and the text should follow the SIBGRAPI 2019 formatting guidelines for Main Track full papers, but with the following adjustments. The names of the authors should not be omitted, disregarding the requirement of anonymity of the main track. In particular, students must appear as the first authors and the advisor as the last author, with eventual co-advisors and other collaborators in between. Submissions in Portuguese should include, after the abstract in Portuguese, also an abstract in English. Papers are limited to 4 double-column pages. Papers should be submitted through the WUW CMT system.

Simultaneous submissions in the main track and WUW are not allowed and will be rejected without review. Students enrolled in an undergraduate program who are first authors of papers accepted in the main track can apply to present a poster in the WUW poster session and become eligible to WUW awards. However, they are not required to submit a WUW paper. They should submit a PDF print of the letter of acceptance in the main track and the undergraduate program enrolment certificate for 2019.

All posters must have A0 paper size with portrait orientation (841 mm x 1189 mm). The use of small fonts on text production is not recommended. The poster support has a hanger on its top that can be used to hang the poster. It is not necessary to include the poster in the CMT system.

No-show papers are defined as accepted papers submitted by authors who subsequently did not present the paper in-person (no videos,no remote cast) at the technical meeting. No-registration papers for WUW are defined as accepted papers where at least one author did not register with Undergraduate Student paid registration rate (Undergraduate Student member, Undergraduate Student non member SBC or any superior category) for the conference, where each paper must be associated with a different paid registration. No-show and no-registration papers will not be included in the program and will be removed from the proceedings.
