My research interest are in the area of 3D computer graphics and vision, image based rendering and computer animation. I am affiliated with the computer graphics lab, and am currently advised by Steve Seitz and Takeo Kanade.

computer graphics

• Computer Graphics Lab - Modeling, animation, and rendering of 3-D scenes
• Face Group - Robust detection, recognition, and tracking of human faces with automated analysis of expressions
• Human Identification at a Distance - We are developing and evaluating human identification technologies as part of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored program in Human Identification at a Distance (HumanID).

• 2D->3D Face Model Construction - We develop a linear algorithm that uniquely recovers the 3D non-rigid shapes and poses of a human face from a 2D monocular video.

Note: This list may not be comprehensive. It contains only those publications in the RI publications database. Entries are listed in reverse chronological order.
