Description:

Keenan has received the 2020 National Science Foundation CAREER award. This is the NSF's most prestigious award which recognizes early-career faculty who lead advances in their fields and serve as positive role models in research and education. Keenan's works is in Discrete Differential Geometry which builds fundamental representations and practical algorithms for processing and analyzing real-world geometric data by leveraging insights from differential geometry. Read more about it here. The Sloan Foundation has named Ioannis Gkioulekas as a 2020 Sloan Research Fellow. The Sloan Research Fellowship highlights the contributions of early-career scientists and scholars who demonstrate outstanding promise in fundamental research. Gkioulekas' interests are in computational imaging, computer vision, and computer graphics. His work focuses on non-line-of-sight imaging which enables the imaging of objects obstructed by corners or scattering materials. Read more about it here. CMU Graphics members Shumian Xin, Ioannis Gkioulekas, and Srinivasa Narasimhan, CMU ECE Professor Aswin Sankaranarayanan, and collaborators from U. Toronto won CVPR 2019 Best Paper Award forA theory of Fermat Paths for Non-Line-of-Sight Shape Reconstruction. Their paper was selected out of roughly 5000 submitted papers. The awards committee described the paper: “this paper makes significant advances in non-line-of-sight reconstruction — in essence the ability to see around corners. It is a beautiful paper theoretically, as well as inspiring. It continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in computer vision.” Lots of amazing work from CMU Graphics to appear at SIGGRAPH 2019—check it out!Visual Knitting Machine ProgrammingVidya Narayanan*, Kui Wu*, Cem Yuksel, Jim McCannNavigating Intrinsic TriangulationsNicholas Sharp, Yousuf Soliman, Keenan CraneSymmetric Moving FramesEtienne Corman, Keenan CraneThe Vector Heat MethodNicholas Sharp, Yousuf Soliman, Keenan CraneA Monte Carlo Framework for Rendering Speckle Statistics in Scattering MediaChen Bar, Marina Alterman, Ioannis Gkioulekas, Anat LevinEllipsoidal Path Connections for Time-gated RenderingAdithya Pediredla, Ashok Veeraraghavan, and Ioannis GkioulekasWave-based Non-Line-of-Sight Imaging using Fast f-k MigrationDavid B.

She joins 10 students nationwide whose PhD research will be supported by MSR for the next two years. Katherine's work is making it possible to automatically turn plain-text mathematical equations into beautiful diagrams—find out more at http://penrose.ink. Congrats Katherine! Our very own Jessica Hodgins has been named an ACM Fellow for her contributions to character animation, human simulation and humanoid robotics. The ACM Fellowship recognizes excellence, as evidenced by technical, professional and leadership contributions that advance computing, promote the free exchange of ideas, and advance the objectives of ACM. Read all about Jessica's award here. Congrats Jessica! Keenan Crane has been named a 2018 Packard Fellow. The Packard Fellowships in Science and Engineering are among the nation’s largest nongovernmental fellowships, supporting blue-sky thinking of scientists and engineers in the hopes that their research will lead to new discoveries that improve people’s lives and enhance our understanding of the universe. Crane's work explores how the shapes and motions we observe in nature can be faithfully expressed in a language that is completely finite and discrete, and can hence be understood by computers. Read more about it here. We'll be presenting a bunch of new work at SIGGRAPH 2018. Take a look!

In particular, he's interested in using programmable lights and cameras to analyze the world around us.  Matt received his PhD from the University of Toronto in 2016, and is currently a postdoc at Stanford.Welcome to CMU, Matt! Jim McCann joins the CMU Graphics Group this fall, as a faculty member in the Robotics Institute. Jim is interested in systems and interfaces that operate in real-time and build user intuition; lately, he has been applying these ideas to textiles fabrication and machine knitting in the Carnegie Mellon Textiles Lab. He obtained his PhD in 2010 in the Graphics Lab, after which he worked at Adobe's Creative Technologies Lab and Disney Research. In his spare time, he makes video games as TCHOW llc.Welcome, Jim! In election results announced August 19th, 2017, Jessica Hodgins was elected SIGGRAPH President. She will begin her three year term on September 1st.If you have ideas on how to improve either the organization or the conference, send them her way. And volunteer -- both the organization and the conference are in need of volunteers. This year, nine papers that were authored or co-authored by graphics lab members will be presented at SIGGRAPH 2017:A Computational Design Tool for Compliant MechanismsVittorio Megaro, Jonas Zehnder, Moritz, Baecher, Stelian Coros, Markus Gross, Bernhard ThomaszewskiComputational Design of Telescoping StructuresChristopher Yu, Stelian Coros, Keenan CraneEpipolar Time of Flight ImagingSupreeth Achar, Joe Bartels, Red Whittaker, Kyros Kutulakos, Srinivasa G.

Tonight, RI Faculty alum Iain Matthews (right) and his collaborators at Weta will be awarded a plaque for their facial capture system and RI PhD alum Kiran Bhat (left) and his ILM collaborators will get a certificate for their facial capture system. In a daring feat of housekeeping the brilliant students comprising the CMU Graphics Lab made the world a little cleaner place. Two of our PhD students, Yong He (left) and Nick Sharp (right), were both recently awarded prestigious PhD fellowships. Yong, who is a fourth-year PhD student with Kayvon Fatahlian, will receive an NVIDIA fellowship, supporting his work on automated optimization of rendering systems. Nick, who is a first-year PhD student with Keenan Crane, is the recipient of an NSF Graduate Research Fellowship (GRFP), which will help jump start his work in 3D geometry processing. Congrats, guys!

How is it done? Some might say there is dark magic afoot, but what’s really happening is far more interesting.Here’s how it’s done: an object is selected in an image, be it a chair, an origami crane, or a fireplug. The system matches the object with currently extant 3D models taken from various sources, and then, by connecting the models with the actual objects, they are able to simulate what the object would look like in the photograph. While this database of objects is obviously fairly limited, it does allow for some clever tricks including making taxi cabs in photos flip around to display their undercarriage and then zoom off into space.Read more at New York Times, TechCrunch and R D Magazine. Keenan Crane will join the CMU Graphics Lab in 2015 as an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department and Robotics Institute. Keenan received a PhD from Caltech in 2013, as part of the Applied Geometry Lab and Multi-Res Modeling Group; he is currently an NSF Mathematical Sciences Postdoctoral Fellow at Columbia University.Keenan's research draws on insights from differential geometry and computer science to develop fast numerical algorithms and fundamental representations for real-world geometric data.  This work has been used in production at companies such as DreamWorks and Digital Domain, and has been covered by popular media including National Public Radio and Scientific American.  Hear Keenan talk about his work via the Everhart Lecture Series.
