Researcher Mike Sips Visual Exploration of Space-Time Pattern in Multi-Dimensional and Heterogeneous Data Spaces Name of Research Group: Visual Exploration of Space-Time Pattern in Multi-Dimensional and Heterogeneous Data Spaces Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Mentor Stanford: Pat Hanrahan Research Mission: In many application scenarios data is collected and referenced by its geo-spatial location at a certain point in time (time-stamp). The analysis of such data sets is an important task, since for decision makers, analysts or emergency response teams it is often...

Researcher Bodo Rosenhahn Marker-less Motion Capture Name of Research Group: Marker-less Motion Capture Personal Homepage: www.tnt.uni-hannover.de/staff/rosenhahn/ Mentor Saarbrücken: Hans-Peter Seidel Research Mission: Motion capturing (MoCap) comprises techniques for recording and analyzing human movements in image sequences. In biomechanical settings, it is aimed at analyzing captured data to quantify the movement of body segments, e.g. for clinical studies, or to help athletes to understand and improve their performance. It has also grown increasingly important as source of...

Researcher Marcus Magnor Graphics - Optics - Vision (Affiliated Independent Research Group) Name of Research Group: Graphics - Optics - Vision (Affiliated Independent Research Group) Personal Homepage: graphics.tu-bs.de/people/magnor Research Mission: My research interests focus on developing methods for realistic image generation. From its onset, the field of computer graphics rendering has experienced a continuous increase not only in scientific recognition but also in economic relevance. Computer graphics-based special effects and entirely computer-animated feature films have become...

Previously 3D animations have mostly been synthesized automatically through physically based simulations and procedural modeling or handmade by a skilled designer time-step by time-step. In recent...

A popular example that fits in this framework is surface reconstruction: to obtain a digital model of some solid one samples its surface, e.g., by using a laser range scanner, and applies a...
