Monday February 26 4:00 - 4:50 PM Kelley 1001
Peter Wonka Assistant Professor Arizona State University Modeling and Visualization of Urban Environments The talk will address the problem of modeling and rendering virtual urban environments. In the first part of this talk a procedural approach to modeling of urban environments is presented. I will discuss the use of shape grammars as a basis for computing architectural design. In the second part of the talk I will discuss algorithms to accelerate the rendering of large urban models. I will present methods for quickly detecting hidden parts of the scene (occlusion culling) and algorithms to simplify large urban models using point- based rendering and geometric simplification. Biography: Peter Wonka joined the CSE faculty of Arizona State University as Assistant Professor in 2004 after two years as a post-doctorate researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his Ph.D. in computer science from the Vienna University of Technology in 2001 and a masters degree in urban planning in 2002. His research interests include various topics in computer graphics, especially real-time rendering and procedural modeling. Peter Wonka is a member of the PRISM lab.
