Title:	Overview of Computer Graphics Research/Applications at CGVSL
Date:	July 7, 2008 (Monday)
Time:	3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Venue:	Room 121, 1/F, Ho Sin-hang Engineering Building, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin, N.T.
Speaker:	Prof. Tong-Yee Lee Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering National Cheng-Kung University Tainan, Taiwan

ABSTRACT:

In this talk, I will introduce our group, Computer Graphics Group/Visual System Lab. (CGVSL) at National Cheng-Kung University, Taiwan. Our group is devoted to research on computer graphics, geometric modeling, computer animation, non-photorealistic rendering, visualization and medical applications. It is my pleasure to overview several projects/applications developed at my group, from animation, modeling to non-photo-realistic rendering. I will show some interesting demos including motion synthesis, sketch-based 3D modeling, morphing, skeleton extraction, focus+context visualization and other non-photo-realistic systems etc.

BIOGRAPHY:

Prof. Tong-Yee Lee received the PhD degree in computer engineering from Washington State University, Pullman, in May 1995. He is currently a professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Cheng-Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, R.O.C. He leads the Computer Graphics Group, Visual System Laboratory, National Cheng-Kung University (http://graphics.csie.ncku.edu.tw/). His current research interests include computer graphics, non-photorealistic rendering, image-based rendering, visualization, virtual reality, surgical simulation, medical visualization and medical system, and distributed and collaborative virtual environments. He is an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine from 2000 to 2010. He is also on the editorial advisory board of the Journal Recent Patents on Engineering, an editor of the Journal on Information Science and Engineering and a region editor of the Journal of Software Engineering. He served as a member of the international program committees of several conferences including IEEE Visualization, Pacific Graphics, the IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium, the IEEE-EMBS International Conference on Information Technology and Applications in Biomedicine, the International Conference on Artificial Reality and Telexistence, and the International Conference in Central Europe on Computer Graphics, Visualization, and Computer Vision. He is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.
