Author Description

This book contains the papers presented at the Symposium on Point-Based Graphics, organized by the Eurographics Association and the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics in co-operation with ACM SIGGRAPH, which took place from June 21 - 22, 2005 in Stony Brook, USA. This is the second year of PBG, and we are thrilled to see the variety of approaches that demonstrate the quality, flexibility, and efficiency of point-based primitives. The Symposium brings together researchers from a variety of backgrounds for focused discussion and presentation of new results, and the papers in these proceedings cover a range of topics from acquisition to geometry and rendering.
