Image-based Rendering and Relighting
(T. T. Wong)

Image-based rendering (IBR), a new research direction that aims to solve the problem of real-time rendering of complex scene. It is completely different from traditional geometry-based computer graphics which models object by polygons. There are a lot of rendering issues related to IBR have not yet been solved. How can a correct novel image be generated from the given images? Can we change the illumination of the scene captured in the image? How can we perform global illumination to generate realistic images like those in ray tracing and radiosity? In this project, we will tackle these problems one by one.
