Preface

Welcome to CESCG 2000!

These esteemed pages you hold in your hands ;-) contain the Proceedings of the 4th Central European Seminar on Computer Graphics for students (CESCG 2000), which took place on May 1-3, 2000, in Budmerice, Slovakia. After several years of succesful CESCG events (1997-1998), CESCG 2000 has again been organized by the Institute of Computer Graphics, Vienna University of Technology, Austria, and the Institute of Computer Graphics and Image Processing, Comenius University in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The intention of CESCG has always been to bring students, who are interested in computer graphics, together across borders of universities and countries. 52 papers and presentations in the last three years (CESCG '97, CESCG '98, and CESCG '99) has made this idea a successful one up to now. As another contribution to this series of special seminars we are proud to announce that 15 out of these 52 papers were selected to appear within a "Best of CESCG" book, entitled "CESCG '97-'99 - selected papers", and published by OCG (Austrian Computer Association).

At CESCG 2000 again 22 papers from 11 computer graphics groups - from Bratislava, Slovakia (UK & STU); Brno, Czech Republic (MUNI & VUT); Budapest, Hungary; Graz, Austria; Linz, Austria; Ostrava, Czech Republic; Prague, Czech Republic; and Vienna, Austria - were presented. All the presented papers are also published in form of HTML proceedings, accessible via URL http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/studentwork/CESCG-2000/. As CESCG more and more adopts a real conference style, this year we included an invited talk which was given by Markus Hadwiger, himself a zealous participant of CESCG '98 and CESCG '99, on 3D graphics technology in computer games. Additionally, for the first time this year, the best paper as well as the best presentation were selected and awarded.

This seminar would not have happened without the help of numerous people. We specifically want to thank Andrej Ferko and Silvester Czanner from Bratislava, and Jan Prikryl from Vienna, as well as all the students who put a lot of effort in preparing papers and presentations, and especially Jakob Hauser who considerately delayed his date of birth giving his father the possibilty to complete the work on these proceedings. ;-) We also want to thank the sponsors of CESCG 2000, i.e., COFAX, an annual trade fair in the field of computer technologies; Slovenska Sporitelna, a Slovak financial institution; SOFTIP, a Slovak information technology provider; OCG, the Austrian Computer Association; Tiani Medgraph, Vienna, a company in the field of medical applications; and VisMed, an FFF-funded project on medical data visualization. As in the last years, this financial support made it possible to organize such an event almost free of charge for students.
