Multidimensional visual texture is the appropriate paradigm for physically correct material visual properties representation. The course will present recent advances in texture modelling methodology as applied in computer vision, pattern recognition, ...

Advances in digital audio technologies have led to a situation where computers play a role in most music production and performance. Digital technologies offer unprecedented opportunities for the creation and manipulation of sound. However, the ...

User interfaces for desktop, Web, mobile, and vehicle platforms extend across culturally diverse user communities, sometimes within a single country or language group, and certainly across the globe. If user interfaces are to be usable, useful, and ...

The popularity of mobile interfaces and application development is increasing along with the rapid expansion of the mobile electronics market and its migration from text-based applications to various multimedia applications. Real-time graphics and web ...

Geometry processing is a fast-growing area of research that designs efficient algorithms for the acquisition, reconstruction, analysis, manipulation, simulation and transmission of 3D models. This course covers different aspects of Geometry Processing, ...

This course is designed to demonstrate the use of the FCam, an Application Programming Interface (API) which allows for easy and precise control of camera systems. It lets programmers implement advanced computational photography applications. Such ...

Shader programming has become an indispensable part of graphics application development. However, learning to program shaders is difficult, especially when it comes to understanding the effect of shader parameters. The course presents shader development ...

Polarisation Ray Tracing is a bit like spectral rendering. You might have heard about it, but the technical details - what exactly it is all about, how it is best done, what the benefits are, where you ought to use it, and where you can safely omit it - ...

We present a half-day course to review several information theory applications for computer graphics and visualization. Information theory tools, widely used in scientific fields such as engineering, physics, genetics and neuroscience, are also emerging ...

The SIGGRAPH Asia conference is an exciting event, but it is often a confusing experience for first-time attendees. There are many new terms, new concepts, and new products to try to understand. This course is designed to ease newcomers into the ...

Increasingly, the computer graphics applications we use at work and play are exploiting and supporting real-time interaction in networking. Our course will introduce attendees to recent advances and best practice in the networking of graphics ...

OpenGL is the most widely available library for creating interactive computer graphics applications across all major computer operating systems. Its uses span from creating applications for scientific visualizations to computer-aided design and ...

Retargeting refers to the process by which an image or video is adapted from the display device for which it was meant (target display) to another one (retarget display). The retarget display has different features from the target one such as dynamic ...

The advent of affordable display technology and seamless integration of real-world scenes with computer graphics fuels our continuing ability to create and display stunning realistic imagery. With the arrival of new technology, algorithms and display ...

In recent years many advances have enabled users to naturally navigate large-scale graphical worlds. The entertainment industry is increasingly providing visual and body-based cues to users to increase the natural feel of their navigational experience. ...

This course serves as a guide to the considerable potential of layered surface models that are available in many commercial products. The key advantage of using such layered materials over traditional shading language constructs is that the end result ...
