CALL FOR PAPERS SPSE's/SPIE's Electronic Imaging Devices and Systems '89 Symposium Part of SPIE's OE/Lase '89 Optics, Electro-Optics, and Laser Applications in Science and Engineering 15-20 January 1989 - Los Angeles Airport Hilton, Los Angeles, California USA Title: 3D VISUALIZATION OF SCIENTIFIC DATA Conference Chair: Scott S. Fisher, NASA Ames Research Center MS 239-3 Moffett Field, CA 94035 415 694 6789 sfisher@ames-aurora.arpa Program Committee: Stephen R. Ellis, NASA Ames Research Center Lambertus B. Hesselink, Stanford University Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics Mary K. Kaiser, NASA Ames Research Center Visualization involves the use of computer-based imaging technologies to extract, interpret and graphically communicate meaningful information from high volume scientific data sources. As the spatial and spectral resolution of sensors increases, advanced methodologies for visualization are required to enable more complex computations and simulations and to expedite scientific process and insight. This conference will focus on recent hardware and software developments that specifically facilitate 3D visualization of multi-dimensional scientific data. Sessions will also be included on human-machine interface research and applications requirements to provide guidelines for future visualization technology development and evaluation. Papers are requested for, but are not limited to, the following sessions and topics: - 3D processing and display for visualization - Advances in visualization display hardware - Image processing & analysis techniques - Networking and data flow solutions - Advanced data storage and data management systems - Expert systems for visualization - Visualization software developments - Integration of image and graphic data structures - 3D imaging acquisition techniques - User interface issues in visualization - Perceptual and cognitive guidelines for human-matched displays. - Input technologies for 3D manipulation - Realtime interactive and simulation environments - Collaborative workstations/televisualization - Evaluation of visualization methodologies - Applications - Examples from fields such as: Medicine, Physics, Fluid dynamics, Chemistry, Geoscience, Mathematics, Biomechanics, Meteorology, Astronomy, numerical simulation, etc. - User requirements ABSTRACT DUE DATE: 11 July, 1988 MANUSCRIPT DUE DATE: 19 December, 1988 ABSTRACT, BIOGRAPHY: BY 11 July 1988, SPIE must receive: - 4 copies of a brief professional biography - 4 copies of a 200-300 word abstract, typed double-spaced on 8 1/2 x 11 white paper. Please list on your abstract the exact order of authors, with the principal author first, followd by co-authors. Give complete affiliation, complete mailing address (including mailstop, department, box no., etc.), and phone number for each author and co-author.
