Call for Submission

Submission categories include full paper (up to 8 pages), short paper (up to 4 pages) and poster (1 page). NICOGRAPH International 2022 reviewing is single blind, in that authors are not shared the names of the reviwers, but the reviewers know the authors.

Easy chair

All accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings to be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) (https://www.computer.org/conferences/cps/author-faq) and submitted to the IEEE Xplore and Computer Society digital libraries and submitted for possible indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services. However, depending on the number of submissions, not all poster presentations can be published in the IEEE CPS. Authors of all accepted full papers will be invited to submit a revised version to the special issue of Journal of The Society of Art and Science. The papers must be written in English, and use the following templates for preparing you papers:

IEEE Templates (DOC, Latex, Overleaf) (8.5" x 11", US Letter)

Authors may optionally upload supplementary material, which may include videos, audios and images to showcase results/demo of the proposed approach/system. With the electronic submission system, you can submit your papers and edit your submission as many times as you need before the submission deadline. The authors are encouraged not to wait till the submission deadline and register their paper titles and abstracts as earlier as possible to facilitate the reviewing process. By submitting a paper the authors confirm that their paper represents original previously unpublished work, and if accepted, at least one of the authors will register for the conference and present the paper.

Authors can submit papers related to what has already been published in journals or conference proceedings. However, please be aware of the copyright rules of the previous publication, and be sure to cite the publication, especially, in case it has been published in a journal paper or a reviewed international proceeding. Authors also need to clarify a difference or progress from the previous publication. The previous publication is necessary to be uploaded through a submission form for the reviewing purpose.

Keynote

What is CG Research in Industry?
- Anime, Games and Beyond -

Ken Anjyo

(OLM Digital, Inc. / IMAGICA GROUP, Inc. / Victoria University of Wellington)

Abstract

CG research in the digital industry should provide tools/systems/workflows useful in the workplace. Technical novelty may therefore be an important factor of the industry-oriented research, but not always a top priority.
    In this talk, I would like to showcase how to find and solve industry issues through international research collaborations across companies and academia, based on my experiences over years. The specific technical topics will come from 3D anime, facial animation and geometry processing of millions of polygons. In addition, I will briefly discuss the future of CG research, emphasizing on the importance of advanced mathematical approaches

Special Session 1

Kansei and Art

Session Abstract

Kansei is important in all artistic activities. The approach of Kansei studies is highly compatible with the arts and is related to the quality of life and human satisfaction. In this session, we will invite three researchers to talk about Kansei studies, focusing on the feelings of fragrance, well-being in tourism, and textural expression of fabrics.

presenter
Invited speakers
Junichi Yamaoka / Shigeo Yoshida / Shuhei Tsuchida

Session Abstract

We will invite researchers whose research themes are Art and Entertainment with a focus on HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) to talk about their research. They will introduce their research activities, focusing on how they conducted their research, which also has aspects of artwork and contents, and how they handled the theme of Art and Entertainment, which is difficult to evaluate numerically.
