Graphics and Visualization Labs

Our work focuses on explaining visual data for Computer Vision, Computer Graphics and Medical Image Analysis, through the appropriate physical and statistical models. A central interest is in modeling the interaction of 3D shape and illumination.

Use of programmable commodity GPUs to accelerate a wide variety of 3D computer tomographic (CT) reconstruction algorithms. Our RapidCT system enables fast, accelerated 3D reconstruction in diagnostic imaging, radio-therapy applications, surgery planning, electron microscopy, and others, at a fraction of the cost of proprietary devices.

Witness Real Time Face Scanning; Facial Expression Analysis and Transfer; Dense Non-Rigid Matching of 3D surfaces.

The lab is a 45-seat, state-of-the art facility for 3D modeling and animation, and digital audio and video production. It's a popular destination for department and campus tours.

Development of virtual reality systems for various design and testing applications such as: Mechanical CAD flythroughs, architectural walkthroughs, biomolecular drug design.

Novel research and system development in visualization, visual analytics, medical imaging, computer graphics, computer vision, virtual and augmented reality, and GPU-acceleration of general purpose computing techniques(GPGPU).

Development of volume rendering techniques for use in scientific visualization and virtual reality applications.
