The Program of Computer Graphics ("PCG")
pursues research in many areas of computer graphics.
Much of this work can be grouped into several recognized sub-fields.
|
|
Introduction
|
A description of the goals of research at the PCG,
and a discussion of the changing trends in the field.
|
Overview
|
The "big picture" view of PCG research demonstrates
how computer graphics research requires a multi-disciplinary effort.
|
Interactive Modeling
|
Providing modelers with intuitive and useful computer interfaces
will allow them to more easily explore their design ideas.
|
Light Measurement Laboratory
|
Through high precision measurements, we are working to accurately describe
how light reflects from many different surface materials.
This fundamental research is the foundation for higher-level work.
|
Global Illumination
|
Calculating how light reflects in a simulated environment
has been a staple of our research for many years.
|
Image-Based Rendering
|
Digital photographs and computer renderings can be combined
to form panoramic images that can be explored interactively.
|
Visualization
|
Scientific and medical data require different visualization methods
so that the images provide the greatest possible information.
