II-NEW: The Utah Acquisition and Rapid Prototyping Laboratory

“该奖项是根据2009年美国复苏和再投资法案（公法111-5）资助的。“真实的世界激发了大量的计算机图形和可视化研究。在我们的工作中，我们寻求直接从真实的世界中获取模型，并根据真实世界的数据验证我们的合成模型。我们的项目在犹他州大学计算机学院建立了一个采集和快速原型实验室。该实验室包括一套异构的采集和快速原型制作设备，包括激光测距扫描仪、高分辨率和高帧率相机以及3D打印机。 该实验室支持广泛的项目，包括基于物理的模拟的视觉验证，基于物理的模拟的材料库的创建，通过对抗性案例量化重建误差，以及创建精心策划的3D扫描数据库。 我们收集的所有数据均可在互联网上获取，以便其他机构的研究人员也可以从实验室中受益。 简而言之，这种基础设施允许真实的世界激发、创建和验证我们对真实的世界的计算机模型。

"This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5)."The real world inspires much of computer graphics and visualization research. In our work, we seek to acquire models directly from the real world and validate our synthetic models against real-world data. Our project establishes an Acquisition and Rapid Prototyping Laboratory in the School of Computing at the University of Utah. The lab includes a heterogeneous set of acquisition and rapid prototyping equipment, including laser range scanners, high-resolution and high frame rate cameras, and a 3D printer. This lab enables a wide range of projects, including visual validation of physics-based simulations, the creation of a material library for physics-based simulations, quantifying reconstruction error through adversarial cases, and the creation of a carefully curated data repository of 3-D scans. All of our collected data is available on the internet so that researchers at other institutions may also benefit from the laboratory. In short, this infrastructure allows the real world to inspire, create and validate our computer models of the real world.
