SCIENTIFIC MISSION

The primary goal of our research is to develop theory,  algorithm, and system for visual computing. Specifically, we focus on creating and enhancing visual contents, reconstructing scene geometry and reflectance, and modeling light transport. To this end, we conduct interdisciplinary research at the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision, machine learning, and optics.

3D Reconstruction

We develop algorithms and systems to reconstruct our real world's 3D geometry and appearance.  We can use the acquired 3D assets for diverse applications where we need to understand the 3D world.
