PUC-Rio de Janeiro
Sibgrapi 2009 - Workshop of Theses and Dissertations

The Workshop of Theses and Dissertations (WTD) aims to motivate discussions around the work of doctoral and master's student developed in the country in Computer Graphics, Image Processing, Computer Vision and Visualization, and to disseminate them. The workshop receives submissions of works from students are currently preparing their master or doctorate, or from former students who have defended their thesis after 01/01/2008. Those students should be linked to graduate program in the country, and may also include foreign collaborators. Accepted work are exposed in poster sessions and published in the Sibgrapi DVD proceedings.


Chairs

Antonio Castelo Filho and Eduardo A. B. da Silva.
