Details
New research from the UCSD computer science department will let you determine
the exact kind of milk you spilled – skimmed, 2% or whole – based on the digital
picture. This work will be presented at SIGGRAPH on August 9th.
The new computer graphics model how much fat and protein you want in your
milk, the model will spit out the information you need to create a life-like
milk image by determining how light will interact with this ratio of milk fats
and protein..
“Computer graphics is no longer just about pretty pictures and realism for the
sake of aesthetics. We have harnessed the math and physics necessary to generate
realistic images of a wide range of natural materials based on what they are
made of. With our approach, computer graphics can contribute to a handful of
pressing problems including food safety and climate change,” said Henrik Wann
Jensen, a UC San Diego computer science professor and Academy Award winning
computer graphics researcher. Jensen created the model with two colleagues from
the Technical University of Denmark – Niels Jørgen Christensen, an associate
professor, and Jeppe Revall Frisvad, a Ph.D. student.
Anyone in San Diego for the graphics conference will experience the marine layer
at some point – the low clouds that roll in from the Pacific, block out the sun
and keep things cool. New research led by UCSD computer graphics graduate
student Wojciech Jarosz explores an improved way to create animations or still
images that include cloudy, smoky and foggy scenes – like coastal San Diego when
the marine layer moves in.
