Postdoc: Material Models for Computer Graphics

9806139多尔西，朱莉马萨诸塞州理工学院 PostDoc：计算机图形学的材料模型 真实感图像合成是计算机图形学中最基本的问题之一，有着广泛的应用。 图像合成中缺少的一个重要组成部分是风化效果。 计算机图形学中现有的材料模型假设材料处于原始状态，这是很少的情况。 该研究计划的重点是计算机图形模型的发展， 材料，这将适合图像合成的要求。该研究将解决这个问题的三个关键方面：（1）材料的分类-将进行各种材料的研究，以设计一个特定于计算机图形的材料分类。(2)材料模型-将开发新的材料模型，这些模型将能够维持一系列外观。(3)物体和材料的组装--数据结构将被设计来处理复杂几何形状和材料的复杂组装。 博士后助理将在麻省理工学院新的计算机图形学研究小组的发展的形成阶段发挥关键作用。 该助理将带来建模和纹理方面的专业知识，将与教师合作研究项目，并将为学生的研究提供领导。

9806139 Dorsey, Julie Massachusetts Institute of Technology PostDoc: Material Models for Computer Graphics Realistic image synthesis is one of the most fundamental problems in computer graphics with a wide variety of applications. An important component that has been missing from image synthesis is the effect of weathering. Existing models of materials in computer graphics assume that the materials are in pristine condition, which is rarely the case. This research program focuses on the development of computer graphics models for materials, which will be suitable for the requirements of image synthesis. The research will address three critical aspects of this problem: (1) Taxonomy of materials --a study of a variety of materials will be conducted in order to devise a classification of materials that is specific to computer graphics. (2) Models for materials -- new material models will be developed, which will be capable of sustaining a range of appearances. (3) Assemblies of objects and materials -- data structures will be devised to handle intricate assemblies of complex geometries and materials. The postdoctoral associate will play a key role in the formative stages of the development of the new computer graphics research group at MIT. The associate will bring expertise in modeling and texturing, will collaborate with faculty on research projects, and will provide leadership for student research.
