U.S.-Brazil International Collaboration for Multimedia Research

9807015 Perlin这个美国-巴西奖项将支持Kenneth Perlin博士和纽约大学Robert Rowe之间的研究合作，与圣保罗大学Sistemas Integraveis da Escola Politecnica(LSI-USP)的Jodo Antonio Zuffo教授和里约热内卢的LNCC(LNCC)的Mauricio V.Kritz教授以及巴西高等数学学院(IMPA)的Luiz Velho教授在多媒体研究方面进行合作。具体地说，他们将与两个主要的软件平台Pad和Improv合作，创建结合了程序动画技术、行为脚本和分布式环境的可信的具体化代理。计算机和信息科学与工程部的实验和综合活动方案提供了部分支持。这一合作延续了来自巴西三个实验室的同事之间的关系，这是由Perlin于1992年创立的。Perlin与IMPA的合作涉及对涉及Pad的过程性多分辨率油漆纹理的研究，这提供了一种机制，以简单紧凑的表示生成大量细节。与LNCC合作，他们正在研究递归超图表示法来模拟生物系统中的相互作用。纽约大学和LSI-USP正在努力将他们的动画研究与他们在多模式输入和输出设备方面的工作结合起来。该项目将让双方的研究生参与合作。***

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. ***
