Prof. Rich Radke's Computer Vision for Visual Effects class projects
Prof. Rich Radke’s Computer Vision for Visual Effects class combines mathematical lectures on computer vision concepts and algorithms with hands-on activities using professional equipment and software.  Teams submitted creative proof-of-concept images and videos as homework assignments, culminating in a final project using the data they collected and algorithms they learned throughout the semester. 

Prof. Rich Radke’s Computer Vision for Visual Effects class combines mathematical lectures on computer vision concepts and algorithms with hands-on activities using professional equipment and software.  In the 2019 fall semester, students learned about green-screening, image compositing, camera tracking, morphing, 3D data acquisition, and motion capture.  The class included several field trips to EMPAC and a guest lecture from an Academy Award winning visual effects artist.  Teams submitted creative proof-of-concept images and videos as homework assignments, culminating in a final project using the data they collected and algorithms they learned throughout the semester.  The video https://youtu.be/iE12fmfyFt0 collects some of the class’s best work from Fall 2019.  We had a great group of students!
