Real Time Graphics and Animation

Abstract

This seminar will cover the latest research in advanced rendering and computer animation with a focus on real-time applications such as computer games.Specific topics include: real-time raytracing, image- and video-based rendering, non-photorealistic rendering, level-of-detail rendering, collision detection, physics-based animation, real-time animation, motion transfer, skinning.

Objective

The goal is to get in-depth understanding of actual problems and research topics in the field of real-time computer graphics and animation.

Content

This seminar will cover the latest research in advanced rendering and computer animation with a focus on real-time applications such as computer games and interactive virtual worlds. We focus on work that has recently been published at ACM SIGGRAPH, the most important computer graphics conference worldwide. The publications cover areas in real-time rendering such as real-time raytracing, image-based rendering, video-based rendering, non-photorealistic rendering, hierarchical methods, level-of-detail rendering, culling methods, and collision detection. In the field of computer animation we will discuss research in the field of physics-based animation, real-time animation, motion transfer, and skinning.
