Workshop on Photometric Modeling for Computer Vision and Graphics: Proceedings, June 22, 1999, Fort Collins, Colorado

by Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers

Researchers from the fields of computer vision and computer graphics share a need for physically correct photometric models of illumination and reflectance. The traditional role of photometry in computer graphics has been gradually expanding from image rendering to the acquisition of scene models typically associated with computer vision. The eight papers from the June 1999 workshop discuss the significance and impact of photometric modeling approaches. Among the topics are representing spectral functions by a composite model of smooth and spiky components, Gaussian curvature from photometric scatter plots, rendering of vegetation in the thermal infrared, and color correction using explicit illumination models, color and registered range.

About the author

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) is a professional association for electronic engineering and electrical engineering (and associated disciplines) with its corporate office in New York City and its operations center in Piscataway, New Jersey. It was formed in 1963 from the amalgamation of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers.

Due to its expansion of scope into so many related fields, it is simply referred to by the letters I-E-E-E (pronounced Eye-triple-E), except on legal business documents. As of 2018, it is the world's largest association of technical professionals with more than 423,000 members in over 160 countries around the world. Its objectives are the educational and technical advancement of electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering and allied disciplines.
