===================================================================
Recent advances in sensor and modeling technologies enable the  
development
of novel techniques that offer both feasibility and robust performance  
on
reconstruction of large-scale environments.  Improvements on the  
performance
of traditional/novel vision techniques such as structure from motion,  
multi-view
stereo, and image-based modeling have made high-end acquisition of 3D  
structure
and motion a reality. Advances in sensor technologies such as depth  
camera,
closer-range laser range finder, and Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR)
permit to deploy modeling systems on terrestrial, airborne, static,  
moving,
and even handheld platforms to quickly capture 3D structure of a large
environment with high degree of accuracy. Progresses in computer  
graphics
enable effective representation, rendering and visualization of  
photorealistic
models on PCs. The advances in high-speed network allow effective  
delivery of
3D models throughout the networked world.

As part of the ACCV 2009, the Modeling-3D 2009 Workshop will bring  
together
researchers to present results and innovations in all aspects of  
modeling and
representation of large-scale 3D environments.  The workshop  
seeks original
high-quality research and application submissions.  All submitted  
papers will
be subject to a peer review process.  Accepted papers will be  
published
together with the proceedings of ACCV 2009 in electronic format by  
Springer.
High-quality papers will be selected to appear in a special issue of the
International Journal of Virtual Reality (IJVR) after the conference.

Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Scene reconstruction from multi-dimensional and multi-view images
- Wide-area structure from motion and stereo
- 3D scene modeling from multiple sensors
- Real-time scene modeling from video
- Range data analysis and processing
- 3D shape and feature representation
- Multi-sensor data fusion, alignment, and registration
- 3D model simplification and compression
- Stream processing for very large datasets
- Appearance/illumination modeling and representation
- Real-time, mobile 3D systems
- Rending and visualization of large-scale models
- Applications of large-scale models and modeling systems

Paper Submission Guidelines
----------------------------------------
Format: papers submitted for review and publication must follow the  
format
specified for the main ACCV 2009 conference: author guidelines for paper
submission to ACCV2009. The maximum paper length for review as well as  
for
publication is 8 pages.

Submission: paper must be submitted electronically in Adobe Acrobat PDF
format at the Submission Website.

Review: the review process is double-blind, so the paper must not  
include
any information which allows the authors to be identified. This means  
that
authors should not indicate their names or affiliations on the paper,
acknowledgements must not be included in the manuscript, and  
references to
authors' previous work must only be included in a form that does not  
link
them to the authors.
