With the help of computers, visual effects have been widely used in film production lately. This course will cover the techniques of computer graphics and computer vision with practical or potential usages in making visual effects. The topics I plan to cover include:

image-based rendering (panorama, layer depth image, lightfield…)
image-based modeling
structure from motion/matchmove
motion estimation(optical flow, tracking…)
digital photography (HDR image acquisition/display, super-resolution)
3D Photography (single-view stereo/multiple-view stereo/photometric stereo/active approaches)
making human
matting and compositing
image processing (inpainting, morphing, colorization…)
texture synthesis
realistic rendering (subsurface scattering/reflectance)
nonphotorealistic rendering
motion synthesis
fluid/clothes
