The Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science is brimming with activity in three vital disciplines: Mathematics; Statistics; and Computer Science. These fields can team up with almost any other discipline or interest---and also align well with many careers. Check us out!
Upcoming Colloquium
Olaf Hall-Holt, Thursday, November 17, 2:30 in RNS 310
3D Models From Photos
The number of photographs available on-line is increasing by perhaps hundreds of millions each week. Understanding the content of these photos is often easy for human beings, yet challenging for computers. This colloquium will describe some current approaches to producing 3D models from sets of photographs. The typical stages of this computation include choosing a coordinate system, locating the cameras within this coordinate system, finding patterns of pixels that are shared in two or more photographs, and putting these patterns together into a single geometric structure. If there is time, we will also consider extensions to 3D video.
