Seminar • Machine Learning — Towards Unsupervised 3D Deep Learning

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Andrea Tagliasacchi, Research Scientist
Google Brain

It is not uncommon to think of computer graphics and computer vision as loosely disconnected disciplines; the former dealing with the synthesis of visual phenomena and the latter with analysis. However, recent advances in deep learning have blurred the boundary between the two. As a consequence, the research path to develop algorithms that effectively interpret the 3D scene “behind” an image has never seemed so well within reach.

Master’s Thesis Presentation • Computer Graphics — Generating Patterns on Clothing for Seamless Design

Please note: This master’s thesis presentation will be given online.

Clara Kang, Master’s candidate
David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

Supervisor: Professor Craig Kaplan

Symmetric patterns are used widely in clothing manufacture. However, the discontinuity of patterns at seams can disrupt the visual appeal of clothing. While it is possible to align patterns to conceal such pattern breaks, it is hard to create a completely seamless garment in terms of pattern continuity.
