Research Summary

My primary research is in the area of computer graphics with broad applications in other disciplines such as digital communications, materials science, and biomechanics. My work focuses on three closely related components:
1) Design of novel input devices and systems for measuring properties in the real world;
2) Development of representations and efficient computational models that explain these observations and allow analysis, understanding, and digital simulation of the underlying phenomenon;
3) Construction of devices that produce physical output according to the developed mathematical representations.
I am applying the above process in three main areas: 1) data-driven materials; 2) virtual humans; and 3) computational photography and display.

Data-driven Materials

Real world materials exhibit extraordinary variety and complexity. Therefore, it is challenging to design mathematical models that accurately represent and predict their physical properties. In my research, I construct acquisition devices to measure these properties and to derive accurate computational models for them. I have studied various types of materials and their properties. In particular, I have built acquisition systems and developed underlying shape and appearance representations to scan highly complex objects [SIGGRAPH 2002] and objects made with transparent and refractive materials [EGSR 2002].I have also created first data-driven representations for Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Functions [SIGGRAPH 2003] constructed from high-quality reflectance measurements and capable of synthesizing reflectance functions induced by the measured data. These methods have been extended to construct models for photo-realistic textures [SIGGRAPH 2005]. Subsequently, I have studied materials with spatially varying BRDFs [SIGGRAPH 2006], time-varying spatially-varying BRDFs [SIGGRAPH 2006] and materials with heterogeneous subsurface scattering [SIGGRAPH 2006]. I have developed algorithms to decompose these complex reflectance functions into simpler components that can be easily understood, analyzed, and edited. More recently, I have analyzed materials in large scale environments measured using time-lapse photography ([SIGGRAPH 2007], [CVPR 2008]).

Virtual Humans

Creating virtual humans that look, move, and interact with the outside environment in a realistic way is one of the long-standing goals in computer graphics. In my research I employ data-driven methods to accomplish this goal. During the last few years I have captured and analyzed various components necessary to create virtual humans. These components include appearance, shape, motion, and contact with external forces. In particular, I have developed one of the first algorithms and systems (image-based and polyhedral visual hulls [SIGGRAPH 2000] [EGWR 2001]) for real-time capture and rendering of human shape, motion, and appearance. These algorithms only employ silhouettes and therefore they are extremely robust and efficient. More recently I have significantly improved accuracy of these models by employing high-quality geometric templates [SIGGRAPH 2008]. In order to capture motions outside of a special studio, I have designed wearable systems that combine miniature ultrasonic and inertial sensors. I have shown that motions that are traditionally difficult to acquire can be recorded with ease within their natural settings [SIGGRAPH 2007]. . In parallel to investigating full-body capture methods, I have been also developing methods targeted for face acquisition. In particular, I have developed representations for face appearance [SIGGRAPH 2006], face geometry [SIGGRAPH 2006], and hair [SIGGRAPH 2008]. During my studies,I have measured appearance and high-resolution geometry of more than 400 different subjects. This has allowed me to conduct the first large scale analysis of human reflectance and geometry properties. Furthermore, I have shown that these data-driven appearance models can be used to relight typical facial video footage [SIGGRAPH 2007]. More recently, I have built representations for high-resolution capture of both shape and motion [SIGGRAPH 2007].

Computational Photography and Display

With the large success of digital photography and improvements in digital display technologies during the last years, we have witnessed a transformation in the way photographs and videos are captured, processed, and viewed. The emerging field of computational display and photography proceeds even further by fundamentally rethinking the design of the hardware, the associated algorithms, and representations for images and video. By adding general computation capabilities and generalized optics to digital displays and cameras, we can obtain superior viewing and interaction experience. Furthermore, we can capture images that are higher quality, richer, more meaningful, and easily post-processed. In this area, three-dimensional TV has a significantly potential impact since it is expected to be the next revolution in digital communications. I have proposed a complete 3-D TV system that allows for real-time acquisition, transmission, and 3-D display of dynamic scenes [SIGGRAPH 2004]. I have also developed a signal processing framework to address some of the major issues in 3-D cinematography for automultiscopic displays [EGSR 2006]. Furthermore, I have built a number of imaging systems and developed algorithms that take advantage of them. I have demonstrated that traditionally difficult computer vision problems become much simpler when using these systems. More specifically, I have proposed a novel, fully automated method for computing a soft-segmentation (an alpha matte) for arbitrary scenes using multiple synchronized video streams that share a point of view but differ in their plane of focus [SIGGRAPH 2005]. In the process I have introduced the notion of an optical splitting tree that can recursively split a monocular view of a scene a large number of times [CG&A 2007]. In a parallel work, I have derived a closed-form solution for soft-segmentation of a scene using data from a camera array. This has led to development of first real-time algorithms for video matting [SIGGRAPH 2006]. In a follow-up work I have developed algorithms for camera arrays that enable tracking objects under extreme occlusion [ICCV 2007]. More recently, I have designed and implemented an optical system and associated algorithms that can estimate scene depth from a single image and enable changing aperture size and plane of focus after the image is taken [SIGGRAPH 2007].
