Abstract:
Facebook researchers are transforming photography into entirely new consumer experiences—infusing still portraits with emotion and movement, and bringing 3D photography to the casual photographer. The Facebook team will present its latest research and also place the work into a broader context of the evolution of computer graphics and photography in the keynote address at SIGGRAPH Asia 2017 in Bangkok.
In the keynote address, Michael Cohen, Facebook’s Director of the Computational Photography Group, will trace his work from the beginning of computer graphics to the incorporation of computer vision until now, as the two technologies blend seamlessly into new consumer level experiences. The talk will focus on how the lines are now blurred between simple photographs and enhanced experiences that capture the moment in more creative ways. This is also exemplified in the two papers Facebook researchers are presenting at the conference.
