After 42 months of works by 16 national partners, the Collaviz project is officially finished.

The various outcomes and overall project feedback are very positive. As you can see from this blog, numerous partners contributed to many national and international conferences, whether through innovative works and publications, or through speeches and presentations.

All the objectives of the project were met. The Collaviz open platform for remote collaborative Scientific Visualization exists. A generic visualization client based on industry standards was integrated to this platform, and innovative modular services based on heterogeneous industrial needs have been developed.

The project has had a good scientific valorization and communication throughout the years, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank some of the institutions or communities which have supported us along the way: the Teratec association and forum, the Web3D consortium and conference, or the AFRV - French Association for Virtual Reality community.

You can find more details on various Collaviz results on their dedicated pages : Scientific Papers - Technical Outputs - Business Outputs. And download the packaged and well documented Collaviz framework (middleware + visualization client) here.

You can also find some videos from the Collaviz partners on the official Collaviz Youtube channel or below :

Services-oriented and based on existing Open standards, the Collaviz project aims at developing an open platform for the remote collaborative 3D Visualization of big volumes of scientific data.

In accordance with this open approach, members of the Collaviz project have decided to publish a number of technical outputs before the final platform and services releases (mid 2012).

Please go to the dedicated page for more information about these outputs. Or on the public forge for the downloads.

Collaviz @ Grand Colloque STIC 2012

The latest “ANR - Grand Colloque STIC” took place in Lyon on the 4th-6th of January. As a leading ANR project, Collaviz was invited to take part in this event.

Demonstrations took place during the 3 days exhibition, and the final project review was also held by ANR experts in this occasion.

But Collaviz is now a 42 months project, which means that there is more to come! A few additional ‘bonus’ developments will take place within the next months, with partners still greatly involved in the Scientific community, whether through papers publication or events participation.

Thank you to the project partners who participated in the “Grand Colloque STIC”.

And stay tuned for more Collaviz news!

10th in the series, the last Collaviz plenary session was another success!

All the Workpackages as well as all the demonstrators were given the opportunity to share their last works, feedback, as well as their individual roadmaps for the last 6 months of the project.

As we are entering the last phase of developments, the enthusiasm and collaboration between partners couldn’t be better!

Here are some pictures of the event:

CGI, Web3D, Teratec…

The Collaviz project is in its 30th month of works and its members are keeping busy. Indeed, the project was presented and represented at several recent international events:

Computer Graphics International, June 2011, Ottawa (CANADA)
Members of the WP5 have had a full paper on “Joint Reversible Watermarking and Progressive Compression of 3D Meshes” accepted. They were hence present to show their works at this major conference, which main areas of interest included this year: Graphics Systems Architectures, Scientific Visualization, Image Based Rendering, Interaction and HCI, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Computer Animation, etc.

International Web3D ACM Conference, June 2011, Paris (FRANCE)
As a member of the Web3D Consortium, Collaviz is deeply involved in this community. Addressing a wide range of topics about 3D on the World Wide Web and Multimedia devices, this conference gathered over 120 attendees for this 16th edition.
The Collaviz project has been presented to the Conference audience, and the feedback was very positive concerning the outcomes of the project, and their future use/applications outside of the Collaviz Consortium.

Ter@tec Forum, June 2011, Ecole Polytechnique (FRANCE)
This year edition of the Ter@tec forum gathered 1000 people around various HPC topics. Like in 2010, Collaviz had a dedicated booth on the Exhibition floor and hosted a “Visualization : Simulation & Performance” workshop with a presentation slot dedicated to the project only. The workshop itself attracted approximately 100 people on various visualization topics and projects. We have been able to notice that Visualization was a real topic of interest for a growing community.

Here are some pictures of the Teratec Forum & Visualization Workshop:

Works on Compression and Watermarking taking place within the WorkPackage #5 of the Collaviz project have been presented during the last GdR ISIS CNRS days of April 2011, in Porquerolles (France).

This event was focusing this year on 3D objects compression acquisition. And the 2 days conferences program was structured around 4 main areas of interest:

  • Acquisition
  • Representation & Meshing
  • Analysis & Processing (segmentation, protection, etc…)
  • Compression

Partners of the WP5 of the Collaviz project have hence been invited to share their works and experience in these domains, in the form of 2 presentations:

  1. Joint progressive compression & reversible watermarking for 3D meshes, by Cagatay Dikici (LIRIS)
  2. Progressive compression with random access to triangular color meshes, by Adrien Maglo (ECP)

More details on this event (in French) : click here.
