From: Patrick SCHOULLERSubject:a PCRDT N°6 / Projet IP CITY / Appel compétitif pour adjoindre un nouveau partenaire au projet / date limite 2 mai Madame, monsieur Dans le cadre des IP du VI° PCRDT, thématique IST, certains projets intégrés avaient la possibilité, au cours de l'avancement des travaux, d'ajouter un nouveau partenaire au consortium. C'est une occasion particulièrement intéressante pour une PME qui veut participer à un projet sans supporter tous les coûts de montage d'un projet initial. Le projet "IP city" lance ce genre d'appel. Vous trouverez ci-dessous tous les détails Y COMPRIS LA PERSONNE DU PROJET A CONTACTER Il est INUTILE de faire un reply à cet appel. Vous devez contacter LE REPONSABLE DU PROJET Prof. Dr. Dieter Schmalstieg Graz University of Technology Inffeldgasse 16a A8010 Graz schmalstieg@icg.tugraz.at Tel: +43-316-873-5017 Fax: +43-316-873-5050 Competitive Call for an Additional Project Partner IPCity (FP-2004-IST-4-27571) is an EU funded Sixth Framework program Integrated Project on Interaction and Presence in Urban Environments. The research aim of the IPCity project is to investigate analytical and technological approaches to presence in real life settings using mixed reality (MR). After the first year of this project, the need for computer vision-based user interfaces was identified which should include technology for computer-based interaction with physical maps and map/model-based tracking. The project is looking for an additional partner with outstanding computer vision and augmented reality expertise who is able to develop core technology in these directions. The required technologies are summarized as follows: 1. Augmenting paper maps: for urban planning situations, paper maps are appropriate because they provide a high-resolution, yet large-scale view of the environment. However, these maps lack dynamical information such as locations of moving vehicles or simulation results. An augmented map should be developed which combines both static information on physical maps and dynamical information using projector-based augmentation information. 2. Handheld map tracking: similar to the augmented paper maps, a portable map tracking algorithm should be developed which allows augmentation on handheld devices rather than direct augmentation on physical maps. 3. Model-based outdoor tracking: we are looking for robust model-based outdoor tracking algorithms which are complementary to GPS and INS tracking. Based on rapid acquisition techniques of 3D models of the environment, robust tracking should be developed which runs on handheld devices (i.e. ultra-mobile PCs, smartphones). These technologies require basic research and should at least be available for two different showcases in the project. The integration into showcases used for end-user evaluation requires solutions that perform at frame rate and with satisfying robustness. Restrictions on participation: for the proposed tasks we search for excellent research partners with outstanding scientific reputation in the field of computer vision-based user interfaces and mixed reality. Despite existing regulations and documents, the electronic proposal submission system (EPSS) currently does not allow for electronic submission of fp6 competitive call proposals. Thus please submit your proposal on paper to the contact given below. We are available to answer any specific question related to elements of the consortium agreement. The consortium agreement will be given to the selected proposer in the negotiation phase. Expected duration of participation: from July 2007 till December 2009 (30 months) Maximum funding: € 200.000-, split in categories research-, demonstration-, trainingand management costs. Deadline: May 2, 2007 - 17h00 Brussels time Language in which proposal should be submitted: English Contact: Prof. Dr. Dieter Schmalstieg Graz University of Technology Inffeldgasse 16a A8010 Graz schmalstieg@icg.tugraz.at Tel: +43-316-873-5017 Fax: +43-316-873-5050 Ce message vous est distribué par ce que vous êtes sur une liste de gens potentiellement intéressés par les informations nationales ou communautaires relatives à la société de l'information.
