[PRL] Fwd: [Colloq] REMINDER: Hiring Talk: TODAY, 12PM - Morgan McGuire, Brown Univ.

[Matthias Felleisen]

Everyone: Morgan is a graphics guy but he has his heart at the exact 
right place. He has published papers with Shriram on scripting 
languages for graphics, is very interested in design of 
software/languages, and would just be a good extension of PRL into this 
direction. (He also works with hw people but we'll forgive him for 
that.) -- Matthias

> Abstract:
> A television weatherforecaster appears with a satellite map but is
> really standing in front of a blue screen. \emph{Matting} is the 
> process
> of separating the forecaster from the screen; doing this if the
> forecaster is instead in front of a complex moving background, say
> traffic in New York City, is an open problem.  I present a solution to
> this problem as one instance of what can be accomplished with a camera
> containing multiple video sensors.
>
> Most cameras contain a single sensor that measures, at each pixel, the
> amount of light near specific red, green, and blue wavelengths.  Using
> multiple sensors we can measure more wavelengths, multiple exposures,
> different polarizations; we can even consider different lens 
> parameters.
>  Future cameras will likely have these capabilities, which raises
> interesting questions:
>
> * What are good designs for multi-sensor cameras?
> * How can we use them to solve current problems?
> * Given multiple sensors, what new applications can we explore?
>
> In this talk, I present a general framework for working with
> multi-sensor cameras, demonstrate several applications, and describe
> methods for construction, calibration, and optimizing optical design.
