Preface
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the proceedings of the 14th
International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC 2019), which was held in Lake
Tahoe, Nevada, USA, during October 7–9, 2019. ISVC provides a common umbrella
for the four main areas of visual computing including vision, graphics, visualization,
and virtual reality. The goal is to provide a forum for researchers, scientists, engineers,
and practitioners throughout 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 13 oral sessions, 2 special tracks, 3 tutorials, and
6 keynote presentations. We received 163 submissions from which we accepted
62 papers for oral presentation and 29 papers for poster presentation. Special track
papers were solicited separately through the Organizing and Program Committees of
each track. A total of 9 papers were accepted for oral presentation in the special tracks.
All papers were reviewed with an emphasis on the 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 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 2019 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 2019 area chairs,
the organizing institutions, the industrial sponsors, the international 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 Springer for
sponsoring the Best Paper Award this year.

Dense 3D Face Correspondence for Deep 3D
Face Recognition and Medical Applications
Ajmal Mian
Abstract. In this talk, I will present our research on dense 3D face correspon-
dence which is a core problem in facial analysis for many applications such as
biometric identification, symptomatology for the diagnosis of Autism and
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and planning for facial reconstructive surgery. From a
morphometric point of view, we are interested in performing dense correspon-
dence based purely on shape without using texture. This makes the problem
challenging but the correspondences and subsequent analyses more precise. The
idea is to start from a sparse set of automatically detected corresponding
landmarks and propagate along the geodesics connecting nearby points. By
anchoring on the most reliable correspondences for propagation, accurate dense
correspondences are iteratively established between hundreds of faces without
using a prior model. Thus, we are able to construct population specific
deformable face models for symptomatology and patient specific morphs to
facial norms for reconstructive surgery. Moreover, by establishing dense
correspondences between different facial identities and expressions, we
synthesize millions of 3D faces with varying identities, expressions and poses to
learn a deep Convolutional Neural Network (FR3DNet) for large scale 3D face
recognition. FR3DNet achieves state-of-the-art results, outperforming existing
methods in open-world and close-world face recognition, on a dataset four times
the largest dataset reported in the existing literature.
Approaches to Massive Scientific Data
Visualization and Analysis

Abstract. Computer vision has gone through major changes over the last seven
years. The vision community can solve classification and regression problems
with astonishing accuracy and relative ease, as long as enough data is available.
Many very important practical problems, like object detection, can be wrangled
into either a Classification or a regression problem. Furthermore, we have a
spectacular grasp of the relations between 3D worlds and 2D images. I will
review the main problems we can currently solve, describe very roughly how we
solve them, and sketch out the domain of important unsolved problems.
