Welcome to the homepage of the Central European Seminar on Computer Graphics (CESCG). The CESCG presents a special and unique opportunity for undergraduate students interested in visual computing to participate in an international event that is similar to a scientific conference. It is organized by several computer graphics groups in Central Europe to give excellent students the possibility to test and improve their skills in research, scientific writing, publishing and presenting. Another important mission of the CESCG is to connect visual computing communities to build lasting friendships and promote collaborations between future researchers and/or engineers.

Aims and Scope of CESCG

The main idea of CESCG is to bring undergraduate students, who are interested in visual computing, together across borders of universities and countries. The seminar is an international event, where students can present their excellent work to other students. Participating students are studying computer science for at least five semesters, thus a basic level of expertise in research is fortunately a present qualification, which guarantees a lot of high-quality presentations. As part of the CESCG we also give workshops on scientific writing and presenting for all participants who want to plan their career and improve scientific skills.

Of course the overall topic of the CESCG is visual computing. Specifically the following fields are covered by the seminar:

• Computer Graphics
• Virtual and Augmented Reality
• Scientific Visualization
• Rendering and Global Illumination
• Animation, Multimedia
• Image processing and Computer Vision
• Geometry processing and Modeling
• Fabrication

CESCG is an annual event for undergraduate students, which is organized in cooperation of the Institute of Computer Graphics and Algorithms at Vienna University of Technology, and the Faculty of Mathematics, Physics, and Informatics at Comenius University in Bratislava. As we are focused on the Visegrad countries, our main cooperating partners are West Pomeranian University of Technology Szczecin, Czech Technical University in Prague and Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Student works of all participating groups are presented on three consecutive days at Smolenice castle in the vicinity of Slovak captial Bratislava. Seminar language is English. For further details see CESCG organizational notes.

CESCG contributions are avaliable in printed form and via world wide web. We require to use the LaTeX environment which is a standard for scientific publishing. Also we encourage the students to prepare videos and web presentations of their work. See the CESCG proceedings page for a collection of electronic CESCG proceedings.

Please note that only those contributions are included that confirm to the guidelines for authors.
