COMPUTER GRAPHICS RESEARCH AT CALTECH

         

Graphics-related research at Caltech primarily focuses on the mathematical
foundations of computer graphics. Caltech's research explores and develops new
approaches to modeling, rendering, simulation and scientific visualization, and
is highly connected to our work on human/computer interaction. New methods are
needed to increase modeling fidelity, ``fluency,'' and interactivity. This is
accomplished using mathematical principles from differential geometry,
constrained optimization, integral equations and piecewise differential
equations, as well as physical principles such as the mechanics of solids and
the physics of light. The Caltech computer graphics research efforts are led by
Alan Barr, Mathieu Desbrun (Applied Geometry Lab), and Peter Schröder (Director,
Multi-Res Modeling Group). The Caltech approach to computer graphics research is
unique in its mathematical rigor. A common theme throughout our work is an
emphasis both on correct underlying mathematical foundations and on careful
realization in efficient, robust algorithms.
