James T. Kajiya joined Microsoft Research in 1994, leading work on
graphics. He is currently a distinguished engineer and general manager at Microsoft
Research in Redmond.
 His
recent work has focused on high-quality computer graphics.
This
work has included nonlinear anti-aliasing algorithms for the display of text
on raster screens; invention of several new techniques for ray-tracing
primitives such as swept volumes, parametric patches, and fractal surfaces;
an early paper on volume rendering; a hierarchical bounding-box technique
for accelerating ray tracing; the introduction of anisotropic light-reflection models for surfaces; the introduction of algebraic geometry in
patch computations; a new technique extending the ray-tracing process via an
integral equation, or Monte Carlo algorithm, called the “rendering
equation”; and a solution to the problem of rendering fuzzy surfaces. |
