U.S.-Brazil International Collaboration for Multimedia Research

9807015 Perlin美国-巴西奖将支持博士之间的研究合作。纽约大学的Kenneth Perlin和Robert Rowe将与圣保罗大学整合系统实验室（LSI-USP）的Jodo Antonio Zuffo教授、巴西巴西国家科学计算实验室（LNCC）的Mauricio V. Kritz教授以及巴西数学与应用研究所（IMPA）的Luiz Velho教授合作开展多媒体研究。具体来说，他们将与两个主要的软件平台Pad和Improv合作，结合程序动画技术、行为脚本和分布式环境，创建可信的具体化代理。计算机与信息科学与工程系的实验与综合活动计划提供了部分支持。这项合作延续了来自巴西三个实验室的同事之间的关系，该关系于1992年由Perlin开始。Perlin与IMPA的合作涉及到程序性的多分辨率绘画纹理的研究，涉及到Pad，它提供了一种机制，以简单而紧凑的表示生成大量的细节。利用LNCC，他们正在研究递归超图表示来模拟生物系统中的相互作用。纽约大学和LSI-USP正致力于将他们的动画研究与他们在多模式输入和输出设备上的工作结合起来。该项目将涉及双方的研究生合作。＊＊＊

9807015 Perlin This U.S.-Brazil award will support a research collaboration between Drs. Kenneth Perlin and Robert Rowe of New York University to work with Professor Jodo Antonio Zuffo at the Laboratorio de Sistemas Integraveis da Escola Politecnica (LSI-USP) at the University of Sao Paulo and with Professor Mauricio V. Kritz at the Laboratorio Nacional de Computacao Cientifica (LNCC) in Rio de Janeiro, as well as with Professor Luiz Velho at Instituto de Matematica Pura e Aplicada (IMPA) in Brazil on multi-media research. Specifically they will work with two major software platforms, Pad and Improv, creating believable embodied agents combining procedural animation techniques, behavioral scripting, and distributed environments. The Experimental and Integrated Activities Program of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Division is providing part of the support. This collaboration continues a relationship among colleagues from three labs in Brazil, which was started in 1992 by Perlin. Perlin's work with IMPA involves an investigation of procedural multiresolution paint textures involving Pad, which provides a mechanism to generate a large number of details with a simple and compact representation. With LNCC, they are working on recursive hypergraph representation to model interactions in biological systems. NYU and LSI-USP are working on an integration of their animation research with their work on multimodal input and output devices. The project will involve graduate students from both sides in the collaboration. ***
