Visualization and Data Analysis 2017 Conference Program
Wednesday February 1, 2017
EI 2017 Wednesday Plenary and Symposium Awards
Session Chairs: Joyce E. Farrell, Stanford University, and Nitin Sampat, Rochester Institute of Technology (United States)
2:00 – 3:00 PM
Grand Peninsula Ballroom D
Designing VR video camera systems, Brian Cabral, Facebook, Inc. (United States)
Brian Cabral is Director of Engineering at Facebook, leading the Surround 360 VR camera team, specializing in computational photography, computer vision, and computer graphics. He has published a number of papers in the area of computer graphics and imaging including the pioneering Line Integral Convolution algorithm. Cabral discusses developing Facebook Surround 360, an open, high-quality 3D-360 video capture system. VR video capture systems are composed of multiple optical and digital components - all of which must operate as if they are one seamless optical system. The design of VR video cameras, optical choices, SNR, etc., require a new set of technologies and engineering approaches, with tight coupling to the computational system components.

Topological analysis at the extreme scale: Finding features in large data sets, Gunther Weber1,2; 1Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and 2University of California, Davis (United States)
|
Gunther Weber is a Staff Scientists in LBNL's Computational Research Division and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis. His research interests include computer graphics, scientific visualization, topological data analysis methods, parallelization of visualization algorithms, hierarchical data representation methods, and bioinformatics. Prior to joining LBNL, Weber worked as a Project Scientist at the Institute for Data Analysis and Visualization (IDAV) at UC Davis focusing on visualization of three-dimensional gene expression data (with researchers of LBNL's Genomics and Life Sciences divisions), topological exploration of scalar data, and visualization of brain imaging data and experimental earthquake data. Weber earned his PhD in computer science, from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany (2003). |

PANEL: Application Papers: What are they and how should they be evaluated?
Panel Moderator: Gunther Weber, Berkeley Lab (United States)
4:50 – 5:30 PM
Cypress B
This panel will start a discussion in the community about what goals an application paper ought to have, what its main contributions to the state of art of visualization should be, and how it ought to be evaluated by reviewers. How do we as a community generate clear evaluation criteria for this type of paper?
