CS 6644 Modeling the World (original) (raw)
Overview
In recent years there has been an explosion of visual images and video content captured by novices and professionals alike, and shared on community photo collections. These images capture the rich range of shapes, materials and lighting in the world. In this course we will study how this content is being used to build comprehensive visual models of the world. We will cover image-based modeling, lighting and rendering algorithms; 3D reconstruction algorithms; and acquisition and capture of geometry, material, and lighting. These topics are subject to change.
There will be 2 assignments in the course, 1 in-depth paper presentation per person, and a final project. An introductory vision or graphics course is a pre-requisite for this course.
