A Framework for the Acquisition, Processing, and Interactive Display of High Quality 3 D Models

High quality 3D models are quickly emerging as a new multimedia data
type
with applications in such diverse areas as e-commerce, online
encyclopaedias,
or virtual museums, to name just a few.
This talk presents new algorithms and techniques, for the acquisition
and
real-time interaction with complex textured 3D objects and shows how
these
results can be seamlessly integrated with previous work into a single
framework for the acquisition, processing, and interactive display of
high quality 3D models.
In addition to pure geometry, such algorithms also have to take into
account the texture of an object (which is crucial for a realistic
appearance) and its reflectance behavior.
The measurement of accurate material properties is an important step
towards photorealistic rendering, where both the general surface
properties
as well as the spatially varying effects of the object are needed.
Recent work on the image-based reconstruction of spatially varying BRDFs
enables the generation of high quality models of real objects from
a sparse set of input data.
Efficient use of the capabilities of advanced PC graphics hardware
allows
for interactive rendering under arbitrary viewing and lighting
conditions
and realistically reproduces the appearance of the original object.




Alle InteressentInnen sind zu dem Vortrag herzlich eingeladen.

Die Veranstaltung wird gemeinsam von der Fachrichtung Informatik und der
International Max Planck Research School getragen.
