An Evening with Dr. Paul Debevec

This just in... an invitation from MDeC's Creative Multimedia Cluster for a lecture titled: New Techniques for Acquiring, Rendering, and Displaying Human Performance by Dr. Paul Debevec on 22nd July 2008 in Balai Seni Lukis Negara.


Dr Debevec is an Associate Director of Graphics Research, University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies (USC ICT).

Dr. Paul’s presentation will address the following topics:

• Acquiring, rendering and displaying photoreal models of people, objects and dynamic performances;
• Image-based lighting techniques for photorealistic compositing and reflectance acquisition techniques (which have been used to create realistic digital actors in films such as Spiderman 2 and Superman Returns);
• Describing image-based relighting with free-viewpoint video to capture and render full-body performances and new 3D face scanning processes that capture high-resolution skin detail;
• Investigating new 3D display that leverages 5,000 frames per second video projection to show auto-stereoscopic, interactive 3D imagery to any number of viewers simultaneously.
