The research of the Computer Graphics Group focuses on fundamental methods to generate and manipulate images using computers. We develop algorithms and systems for realistic and real-time rendering, and animation and modeling of three-dimensional shapes. We are also interested in novel representations for 3D geometry, such as point-based representations. Finally, we investigate signal processing techniques, in particular for multi-view 3D displays. Our research has applications in digital entertainment, multimedia, and data visualization. Visit our list of publications for a detailed overview of our published work.
Rendering
|
Rendering, or image synthesis, is a core problem in computer
graphics. We develop algorithms for efficient, physically-based
rendering. We are also interested in rendering for interactive
applications, and we investigate techniques to simulate light transport in real-time. |
Animation & Modeling
|
Computer graphics scenes are composed of three-dimensional shapes that are stored in computer memory using mathematical representations. Our research is concerned with modeling and animating these three-dimensional shapes. We focus on developing sophisticated mathematical methods that allow for realistic shapes and motions, and intuitive user interfaces that make modeling and animation simple and efficient.

Point-Based Graphics
 |
We are interested in novel mathematical representations of three-dimensional shapes. In our research, we show that point-based techniques are viable alternatives to conventional approaches, such as triangle meshes or parametric surfaces, for a variety of applications from rendering to modeling.

Multi-View 3D Displays
 |
Automultiscopic displays show stereoscopic images that can be viewed from any viewpoint without special glasses.
They hold great promise for the future of television and digital entertainment.We develop signal processing techniques to optimize image quality by reducing sampling artifacts and adapting the signal to the display properties. We are also interested in multi-view content creation and manipulation techniques.
