PESC - Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision

The line of Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision was established in 1985 with the href="http://www.lcg.ufrj.br" Computing Laboratory Graphic Systems Program was inaugurated in 1988. the first courses in Image Processing and Computer Vision date back to 1987 and 1990, respectively.

The research developed in line is varied and multidisciplinary, involving topics such as:

	Animation and Games Particle systems Character animation Motion capture (MOCAP) Visibility with cells and portals Real-time rendering of complex scenes Interaction and navigation techniques
	Deformation of Volumes and Surfaces Methods "as-rigid-as-possible" Moving least squares optimization Mesh segmentation Interfaces for model manipulation Radial basis functions GPU acceleration
	Medical Images Active contour segmentation Medical images visualization Recognition using shape metrics HDR image processing
	Numerical Meshes Delaunay triangulations Multiresolution meshes Mesh optimization Meshes from seismic data
	Geometric Modeling Implicit objects modeling Polygonization methods Variational surfaces Level-of-detail mesh modeling GPU-based mesh modeling interaction strategies Sketch-based interfaces
	Point-based Models Rendering of models based on points Surface reconstruction Multi-resolution representations High quality rendering using GPUs Visibility
	Virtual and Augmented Reality Marker recognition Motion capture Gesture recognition Applications in mobile computing Applications in education and health Collision detection
	Physical Simulation Physical animation Detection and response to collisions Collision with deformable models Fluid simulation (liquids and gases) Restrictions based methods Distributed simulation (GPU and multicore)
	Volume Rendering Structured and unstructured volumes Ray casting Cell projection GPU acceleration Out of core visualization
	Web Graphics Cartographic visualization Interactive data visualization Web-based visualization of 3D models Tools for authoring SVG and HTML5 media Collaborative work via web
