Computer Vision - Automatic, object-based, scene recognition
and reconstruction from 2D images and video sequences.
3D Graphics & Visualization - Real-time, realistic
3D interactive graphics and visualizations, as well as general
purpose programming on graphics processors.
Image Processing - Developing automated algorithmic approaches
to efficiently processing 2D and 3D image sequences for applications
from TV/film to medicine to simulations to gaming.
