Recent projects
I lead the
Interactive Visual Media Group at
Microsoft Research,
the research arm of
Microsoft Corporation.
I also have an Affiliate Professor appointment at the
University of Washington.
My research areas include computer vision and computer graphics.
My particular interests are in using vision to automatically build
3-D models from images, computational photography, and image-based rendering.
I have worked on both traditional
3-D volumetric and surface model reconstruction, and on high-resolution
image mosaic construction. I am also interested in using computer vision
for human-computer interaction and for analysing image databases.
I have additional
research interests
in geometric modeling, motion estimation,
multiresolution algorithms and representations, and optimization
algorithms.
Middlebury Stereo Vision Page
(with Daniel Scharstein):
an online evaluation of the best two-image stereo matching algorithms,
along with test images, ground truth, and software.
MRF Energy Minimization Page
(with Ramin Zabih, Daniel Scharstein,
Olga Veksler, Vladimir Kolmogorov,
Aseem Agarwala, Marshall Tappen, and Carsten Rother):
a comparison of 2-D MRF energy minimization algorithms,
along with test images, data files, and software.
Multi-View Stereo Evaluation
(with Steve Seitz, Brian Curless, James Diebel, and
Daniel Scharstein):
a comparison of multi-view stereo 3D surface/volume reconstruction
algorithms,
along with calibrated test images.
Optical Flow Evaluation
(with Simon Baker, Daniel Scharstein, JP Lewis, Stefan Roth,
and Michael Black):
a comparison of optic flow (motion estimation)
algorithms,
along with calibrated test sequences.
I am a founding editor of
Foundations and Trends(R) in
Computer Graphics and Vision.
