Keynotes
Revealing the Invisible
Frédo Durand
Abstract
This talk reviews efforts to reveal visual content that is invisible to the naked eye. We will briefly discuss traditional optical solutions and will then describe recent computational techniques that can extract faint visual information from digital sensors, analyze it, amplify it, and visualize it. In particular, we will present techniques that take motion that is too small to be seen in regular video and re-render a video where the amplitude of the motion has been amplified.
Bio
Frédo Durand is an associate professor in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He received his PhD from Grenoble University, France, in 1999, supervised by Claude Puech and George Drettakis. From 1999 till 2002, he was a post-doc in the MIT Computer Graphics Group with Julie Dorsey.
He works both on synthetic image generation and computational photography, where new algorithms afford powerful image enhancement and the design of imaging system that can record richer information about a scene. His research interests span most aspects of picture generation and creation, with emphasis on mathematical analysis, signal processing, and inspiration from perceptual sciences. He co-organized the first Symposium on Computational Photography and Video in 2005, the first International Conference on Computational Photography in 2009, and was on the advisory board of the Image and Meaning 2 conference. He received an inaugural Eurographics Young Researcher Award in 2004, an NSF CAREER award in 2005, an inaugural Microsoft Research New Faculty Fellowship in 2005, a Sloan fellowship in 2006, and a Spira award for distinguished teaching in 2007.
Applied Geometry for Graphics and Simulation
Mathieu Desbrun
Abstract
Computer graphics, as routinely used in movies nowadays, involves increasingly sophisticated numerics. While differential equations used to model reality can be numerically simulated in countless manners, the geometric structures these equations are supposed to preserve are often lost in the process. In this talk, I will argue for a geometric, variational approach to graphics applications for improved numerics and robustness: besides blurring the line between continuous mathematics and the resolutely discrete nature of digital data, a discrete variational approach to geometry is a powerful tool for applications varying from surface parameterization and vector field design, to fluid and electromagnetic simulations. The importance of preserving differential geometric notions in the discrete setting will be a recurring theme throughout the talk.
Bio
Mathieu Desbrun is a Professor at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), where he is the head of the Computing + Mathematical Sciences department and the director of the Information Science and Technology initiative. He leads the Applied Geometry lab, focusing on discrete differential modeling---the development of differential, yet readily discretizable foundations for computational modeling. He is the recipient of an ACM SIGGRAPH New Significant Researcher award, and of a NSF CAREER award. Visit www.geometry.caltech.edu for more information.
