Preface
It is with great pleasure that we present the proceedings of the 10th Interna-
tional Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC 2014) held in Las Vegas, Nevada,
USA. ISVC provides a common umbrella for the four main areas of visual com-
puting including vision, graphics, visualization, and virtual reality. The goal is to
provide a forum for researchers, scientists, engineers, and practitioners through-
out the world to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments, and
applications in the broader area of visual computing.
This year, the program consisted of 12 oral sessions, one poster session, six
special tracks, and six keynote presentations. The response to the call for papers
was very good; we received over 280 submissions for the main symposium from
which we accepted 74 papers for oral presentation and 55 papers for poster pre-
sentation. Special track papers were solicited separately through the Organizing
and Program Committees of each track. A total of 39 papers were accepted for
oral presentation in the special tracks.
All papers were reviewed with an emphasis on potential to contribute to the
state of the art in the field. Selection criteria included accuracy and originality
of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and presentation quality. The review
process was quite rigorous, involving two to three independent blind reviews
followed by several days of discussion. During the discussion period we tried
to correct anomalies and errors that might have existed in the initial reviews.
Despite our efforts, we recognize that some papers worthy of inclusion may have
not been included in the program. We offer our sincere apologies to authors
whose contributions might have been overlooked.
We wish to thank everybody who submitted their work to ISVC 2014 for
review. It was because of their contributions that we succeeded in having a
technical program of high scientific quality. In particular, we would like to
thank the ISVC 2014 area chairs, the organizing institutions (UNR, DRI, LBNL,
and NASA Ames), the industrial sponsors (BAE Systems, Intel, Ford, Hewlett
Packard, Mitsubishi Electric Research Labs, Toyota, General Electric), the in-
ternational Program Committee, the special track organizers and their Program
Committees, the keynote speakers, the reviewers, and especially the authors who
contributed their work to the symposium. In particular, we would like to express
our appreciation to MERL and Drs. Jay Thornton and Mike Jones for sponsoring
of the “best” paper award this year.
We believe hope that ISVC 2014 offered will offer opportunities for pro-
fessional growth and hope the participants had a pleasant time in Las Vegas,
Nevada.
