presentation will present recent work in the USC ICT graphics laboratory on
acquiring, rendering and displaying photoreal models of people, objects and
dynamic performances. It will begin with an overview of 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). It will present our first Light
Stage 6 project combining image-based relighting with free-viewpoint video to
capture and render full-body performances, as well as a new 3D face scanning
processes that capture high-resolution facial geometry and reflectance from a
small number of photographs. It will conclude with a 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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
