Interests: Michael F. Cohen's research interests range from constraint based animation and shape design to image based rendering to realistic image synthesis. Click here for a short biography.
Michael F. Cohen was awarded the
Computer Graphics Achievement Award at
in Orlando.
Michael is co-chairing the program for the
2002 Symposium on Computer Animation
Michael recently gave a Keynote
Visualization of Everyday Things (slides) at
Visualization 2000 in Salt Lake City.
Also, as promised in the talk, click here and you can download and try out the
Video Cube application and try it on your own AVI files. Have fun! (Please
excuse the legal mumbo jumbo).
Michael also presented a talk covering shape and animation interpolation, Everything By Example (slides). It was presented as the Keynote at Chinagraphics 2000 (in abstentia by Zicheng Liu), at the Human Modeling and Animation Workshop in Korea and as a Distinguished Lecture at the University of Pennsylvania.
Here is a slide presentation introducing the panel, Image Based Rendering, at SIGGRAPH 1997.
Michael served as chair for papers for SIGGRAPH 1998.
He also was program co-chair for the 1997 Symposium on Interactive 3D Graphics.
Michael came to Microsoft from the
Computer Science Department at
Princeton University
and
previously from the
Computer Science Department at the
University of Utah,
and the
Program of Computer Graphics
at
Cornell University.
