Summer Semester 2003

Seminar

Image- and Video-based Rendering

Advances in acquisition hardware, 3D reconstruction algorithms, and rendering techniques are opening up exciting new ways how we may consume television broadcasts and movies in the near future. Image-based rendering, 3D scene reconstruction, and motion capture are among the topics being covered in this seminar. For passing the seminar, the students are expected to select one out of a number of fundamental research papers and present its scientific content to the seminar group. Pre-requisite course for this seminar is last semester's Computer Graphics-I lectures. This semester's course on 3D Image Analysis and Synthesis is recommended for accompanying material.

• Monday 14-16, begin 2:00pm
• Building: MPII, Geb. 46
• Room: 024

• Attend the first seminar lectures to learn about image- and video-based rendering, how to research a scientific topic, and how to prepare a scientific presentation.
• Select a paper from a provided list of state-of-the-art scientific publications on image-based / video-based rendering.
• Read the paper and related publications to thoroughly understand what the authors have done.
• Prepare a compelling 15-minute Powerpoint presentation of your paper.
• Along with your oral presentation, prepare a 2-3 LaTeX handout explaining in your own words the main aspects of the work you are presenting.
• Attend the other students' presentations to learn about their papers, to give them feed-back on their presentation, and to learn for your own talk's preparations.
