Research interests

Parallel spatial data structures

The SIMD parallelism in GPUs benefits from new efficient random-access spatial structures.
[ geometry clipmaps, perfect spatial hashing, compressed random-access trees, factored image content, random-access vector graphics ]

Texture synthesis

Given a compact texture exemplar, a parallel algorithm can efficiently generate spatially infinite deterministic content.
[ parallel controllable texture synthesis, appearance-space texture synthesis, vector field design, lapped textures ]

Geometry images (regularly sampled surfaces)

Surface geometry is commonly represented using irregular meshes, whereas surface signal is sampled into texture images. As the cost of 3D transformations becomes negligible, one should re-evaluate whether geometry itself would not be better represented using ordinary grids.
[ geometry images, spherical parametrization and remeshing, smooth geometry images, multi-chart geometry images, geometry clipmaps ]

Progressive meshes (irregular connectivity)

Progressive meshes define a lossless, continuous-resolution representation of arbitrary meshes, and support scalable rendering, geomorphs, progressive transmission, and compression. They are exposed in the D3DX library of Microsoft DirectX 8.
[ mesh optimization, progressive meshes, progressive simplicial complexes, view-dependent refinement of PMs, ... ]

Subdivision-based multiresolution (semi-regular connectivity)

Mesh refinement based on uniform subdivision provides more structure than irregular meshes.
[ multiresolution analysis of arbitrary meshes, displaced subdivision surfaces ]

Surface parametrization (geometry texturing)

Textures map regularly sampled images onto irregular mesh geometry.
[ atlases in silhouette clipping, texture mapping progressive meshes, signal-specialized parametrization, and multi-chart geometry images ]
[ instanced charts in lapped textures, real-time fur rendering, and real-time hatching ]
[ also spherical parametrization and geometry image parametrization ]

Surface reconstruction (geometry creation)

My PhD thesis addresses automatic reconstruction of surface models from scanned 3D points.
[ surface reconstruction from unorganized points, mesh optimization, piecewise smooth surface reconstruction,
Poisson surface reconstruction, multilevel streaming for out-of-core reconstruction, multi-view stereo ]

Demos

	Random-access vector graphics. We render antialiased vector graphics (layers of transparent fills/strokes with quadratic outlines and color gradients) on arbitrary surfaces or under arbitrary deformations. Our approach is to create a coarse lattice in which each cell contains a variable-length encoding of the graphics primitives that overlap it. These cell-specialized encodings are interpreted at run time within a pixel shader. (This demo requires Windows Vista (for DirectX 10) and attains high performance on an NVIDIA 8800 card; you may need to install Visual Studio redistributable files.) Demo 20080613
	Rendering of terrains using geometry clipmaps. Geometry clipmaps allow rendering of terrains using a set of nested regular grids. The terrain is either incrementally decompressed from a compact in-memory representation or synthesized on the fly as a user navigates within an infinite landscape. The demo requires a recent graphics card from NVIDIA (GeForce 6 series or later) because it uses vertex textures. Demo 20060328
	Texture mapping progressive meshes. Interactively change level-of-detail on the dragon and Buddha models, while preserving detail using normal maps. (Update of earlier demo 20020506; now also works with ATI cards; allows export of *.m mesh files..) Demo 20020905
