It is an opportunity to present and observe the latest research, results, and ideas in these areas. All papers submitted to this conference will be peer reviewed by at least two members of the International Program Committee. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. CGIM 2003 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on Signal and Image Processing (SIP 2003) and Internet and Multimedia Systems and Applications (IMSA 2003). LOCATION CGIM 2003 will take place at the Sheraton Waikiki Hotel on beautiful Waikiki Beach, located in the city of Honolulu on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. Historically, Waikiki was the playground of the Hawaiian ali'i (nobility), and has since become the most famous strip of beach in the world, ringed with high-rise hotels and accessible to travelers from around the world. Waikiki Beach is actually a string of beaches stretching two and a half miles along the ocean. The soft sand bottom and turquoise waters make it an attractive spot for swimmers, surfers, and other water enthusiasts. The city of Honolulu itself is the commercial and government center for Hawaii, filled with many fine restaurants, shopping centers, and cultural and historical attractions. Other nearby attractions include Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head Crater, and the Polynesian Cultural Center. SCOPE This conference will focus on six major themes. Topics include, but are not limited to: Computer Graphics and Modelling Computer Aided Design Computer Graphics Graphical Modelling 3-D Object Extraction Surface Reconstruction Surface Modelling Solid Modelling Geometric Modelling Geometric Algorithms Computational Geometry Physically-based Modelling Multi-resolution Modelling Hair Modelling Texture Models Modelling of Natural Phenomena Model Validation Computer Art Artificial Intelligence Techniques Applications Rendering Illumination Models Volume Rendering Rendering Algorithms and Systems Parallel Rendering Monti-Carlo and Finite Element Techniques Image-based Rendering Radiosity Ray Tracing Visualization Information Visualization Scientific and Mathematical Visualization Distributed Visualization Collaborative Visualization Graph and Network Visualization Visualization Algorithms Visualization and Knowledge Discovery Human Perception Virtual Reality Augmented Reality Visualization of Virtual Objects Real-time Visual Simulation Visualization Software Computer Games Imaging and Image Processing Image Acquisition Techniques Image and Pattern Analysis Image Compression Image Manipulation Pattern Recognition Image Segmentation Image Synthesis Techniques Digital Imaging Internet Imaging Digital Photography Digital Video Wireless Imaging Colour Imaging Holographic Imaging Volumetric Imaging Multi-spectral Imaging Hyper-spectral Imaging Remote Sensing Medical Imaging Acoustic Imaging Image Ontology Computer Vision Stereo Vision Image Quality Image Data Management Software Languages and Tools for Imaging Animation Computer Animation Artificial Intelligence and Animation Virtual Humans Robotics and Animation Human Figure Animation Facial Animation Behavioral Animation Character Animation Particle Systems Motion Capture Plausible Motion Simulation Motion Control and Kinematics Collision Detection Animation Languages Animation Systems Algorithms and Techniques Virtual Tours Applications Human-Computer Interaction Graphical Interfaces Intelligent User Interfaces Speech Recognition Design Techniques User Requirements Collaboration System Design Web Design Mobile Interfaces E-Learning Education Interface Software and Tools Interfaces and Agents Applications INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM COMMITTEE M.
