Benjamin Attal, Selena Ling, Aaron Gokaslan, Christian Richardt, and James Tompkin’s paper ‘MatryODShka: Real-time 6DoF VideoView Synthesis using Multi-Sphere Images’ was presented at last month’s European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2020. Abstract We introduce a method to convert stereo 360° (omnidirectional stereo) imagery into a layered, multi-sphere image representation...
Computer Scientists at Bath have found a solution to the challenges of creating realistic virtual reality sword fights. Sword fights are often the weak link in virtual reality (VR) fighting games, with digital avatars engaging in battle using imprecise, pre-recorded movements that barely reflect the player’s actions or intentions. Now...
CAMERA’s Co-Investigator, Christian Richardt’s collaborative paper ‘Neural Style-Preserving Visual Dubbing’ was presented at Siggraph Asia 2019 Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques in November. Abstract Dubbing is a technique for translating video content from one language to another. However, state-of-the-art visual dubbing techniques directly copy facial expressions...
CAMERA’s Dr Christian Richardt will be giving a talk at BRLSI (Bath Royal Literary and Scientific Institution) this Wednesday, 11 September at 19:30. Towards more Immersive Panoramas Panoramas have been fascinating people for more than 200 years, yet recent advances make them more immersive than ever. In my talk, I...
Researchers, including Dr Christian Richardt, have developed a system using artificial intelligence that can edit the facial expressions of actors to accurately match dubbed voices, saving time and reducing costs for the film industry. It can also be used to correct gaze and head pose in video conferencing, and enables...
CAMERA is delighted to announce that Dr Christian Richardt has not only received a EPSRC UKRI Innovation Fellowship, but he was ranked top by the EPSRC UKRI Innovation Fellowship interview panel. EPSRC-UKRI Innovation Fellowships aim to support engineering and physical sciences research aligned to the Industrial Strategy challenges. They nurture...
Dr Christian Richardt along with the members of the organising team, gave a well received, ticketed tutorial at IEEE VR 2018. The tutorial addressed the issue that near-eye (VR/AR) displays suffer from technical, interaction as well as visual quality issues which hinder their commercial potential. The tutorial gave an overview...
CAMERA is delighted to announce that our Director and three of our Co-Investigators have seven papers accepted to CVPR 2018. Congratulations to Prof Darren Cosker, Dr Kwang-In Kim, Dr Neill Campbell and Dr Christian Richardt. CVPR is the premier annual computer vision event comprising the main conference and several co-located...
Experiencing virtual reality (VR) has become increasingly easy in recent years thanks to the availability of commodity head-mounted displays, such as the Oculus Rift. However, good VR content is still scarce and might become a bottleneck for VR technology. Currently, most VR content is computer-generated from virtual 3D scenes, which...
