Some Contributions in 3D Shape Modeling

Edmond Boyer (INRIA Grenoble, France)

Abstract:

Abstract: Recent research in shape modeling has shown that data driven approaches can improve 3D and 4D shape modeling by their ability to capture local shape properties over a corpus of shape models. Some of the important issues in this line of research are how to represent 3D shape data for that purpose and what should be learned. In this talk, I will present recent contributions of the MORPHEO team in that respect, in particular in 3D shape reconstruction and 3D shape registration.

Short Bio:

Edmond Boyer is a senior research scientist at the INRIA Grenoble-France where he leads the MORPHEO research team (http://morpheo.inrialpes.fr). Morpheo’s main objective is the ability to capture and analyse moving shapes, using multiple camera systems, for virtual and augmented reality, animation, motion analysis, among other applications. Edmond Boyer has done pioneering work in the area of geometric 3D reconstruction with a focus on objects with complex shapes like the humans. He is co-founder of 4D Views (http://www.4dviews.com/), one of the leading companies worldwide specialized in multi-view acquisition and processing. His current research interests are on 3D dynamic modeling from images and videos, motion perception and analysis from videos.
