Current Research
Things that I'm currently working on include:
- High resolution facial scanning using monochrome machine vision cameras.
- Facial scanning processing pipeline for generating face rigs for use in real time animation.
- Motion capture tracking of facial expression performances.
- Generating digital face identities based on statistical models of scan data.
- Real time rendering of facial scan data and digital avatars.
This work is enbled mostly using the light stage technology which is at the center of a lot of the research conduced in the Vision and Graphics Lab.
Here are some examples of renderings of static scans relit using image based lighting:
