Conference topics
The technical program will consist of oral presentations, poster presentations and live demonstrations in, but not limited to, the following technical areas:
- Active 3D body scanning technologies (laser scanning, white-light scanning)
- Passive scanning methods (photogrammetry, visual-hull)
- Portable and hand-held scanning devices
- Body scanning systems for the apparel and fashion sector
- Applications in medical sciences (forensics, plastic surgery, dentistry)
- Custom footwear and orthopedics
- Anthropometric studies , measurement campaigns, fitting mannequins
- Biometrics and applications in security
- Applications in sport, health and fitness
- Human body modeling, animation and simulation
- Virtual life, games and entertainment
- 3D body scanning for arts and sculpture
Technical program
The program of the conference is structured during two full days, in an opening session, 12 technical sessions in parallel, a plenary session with an invited talk and a closing session.
More than 50 oral presentations will be held covering the main sectors of 3D body scanning: face and body scanning for medicine, body and foot scanning for fashion and apparel, digital anthropometry, computer graphic animation, scanning technologies and body scanning systems.
A parallel exhibition allows manufacturers of scanning equipment to demonstrate live their products and solutions to all participants.
Breaks and social events are planned in order to increase the possibilities for building relationships and exchanging ideas between the authors, participants and sponsors.
The program of the conference is available as PDF file: 3dbody2011_program.pdf.
Opening session
The first technical speech of the conference will be held at the opening session by Prof. Dr. Thomas Vetter from the Graphics and Vision Research Group of the University of Basel.
Research in the group of Prof. Vetter concentrates on the problem of automated image understanding. The researchers combine methods from Machine Learning, Computer Graphics and Computer Vision to implement Analysis-by-Synthesis Systems for an automated image perception.
The talk at the opening session of the conference will regard morphable face model
technology, covering applications in medicine and for entertainment, and discussing the
key problem of shape registration for building statistical shape models.
Invited talk
Prof. Dr. Markus Gross, head of the Computer Graphics Laboratory of ETH Zurich and director of Disney Research Zurich, will give an invited talk at the second day of the conference.
Disney Research Zurich is one of two external research laboratories that have recently been established by The Walt Disney Company and by its business units. The mission of the two laboratories is to conduct applied research in computer animation, geometric modeling, computational photography, image generation, video processing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and related fields.
The speech of Prof. Dr. Gross will regard the current state of technology achieved at Disney Research on 3D scanning of facial geometry and appearance.
Keynote presentation for the medical sector
Christopher Lane, CEO of 3dMD, will give a keynote presentation in the first technical session.
With more than 25 years of experience in the Information Technology industry, Lane is committed to transitioning medical photography to a 3D world ensuring that clinically accurate soft tissue images of patients are economically available throughout the treatment cycle.
His keynote speech at the conference will regard the deploying of reconfigurable 3D scanning systems for complex anatomical measurements. The presentation will look into how this form of 3D scanning
has evolved over the past eight years with examples of successful projects. It will also describe the method of use and workflow and conclude with a discussion of the economics of use.
