Topic:          "Some topics in 3D computer vision and
                 image-based modelling and rendering"

Date:           Monday, 29 Oct 2001

Time:           4:00-5:00pm

Venue:          Lecture Theater F

                HKUST

Abstract:

In this seminar, I will give a brief review of a geometric approach to 3D
computer vision which is about 3D reconstruction from 2D images. I will
also discuss its closely related application field, image-based modelling
and rendering. While not going into the technical details, I will focus on
what has been already done, what we are working on and what are possible
research topics. I will also show some application examples to demonstrate
our approach.

Biography:

Long Quan received his BSc degree from Northern Jiaotong University,
Beijing, China in 1984 and his Doctoral degree in Computer Science from
INPL-INRIA Lorraine, France, in 1989. Before joining the department of
Computer Science at HKUST in 2001. He has been a CNRS-INRIA senior
research scientist at INRIA Rhone-Alpes (Grenoble) since 1990. He has
intensively worked on 3D vision geometry, 3D reconstruction from images
and image-based modelling and rendering over the past ten years. He has
served and serves in the three major vision conference committees ICCV
(International Conference on Computer Vision), ECCV (European Conference
on Computer Vision), and CVPR (IEEE Computer Vision and Pattern
Recognition). He is also an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on
PAMI (Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence).
