1.072 participants from 22 countries joined us for Keynotes (by Dieter Fellner, Pat Hanrahan, Vladlen Koltun, and Carol O’Sullivan), Scientific Papers and Posters, STARs, Tutorials, Education Track, and much more.
Professor Dr. Gitta Domik-Kienegger was elevated to IEEE Senior Member in October 2017, and already in September 2016 to ACM Senior Member. IEEE stands for The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and is the world's largest association of technical professionals with more than 420,000 members in over 160 countries around the world. Less than 8% of its members hold a Senior Membership in recognition of their educational and technical…
From Feburary until August 2017 our research group is expanded by Suzan Kessy, a DAAD student from Tansania. At her home university in Arusha she is studying “Information Communication Science and Engineering” and is specialized in “Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering”. In the last 6 month Suzan concentrated on research. This included writing her Master’s Thesis with the title “Diffusion-steered denoising framework for supressing…
The Bachelor Theses of Lukas Stratmann and Till Pankoke will be presented at ACM SIGGRAPH 2017 conference. Lukas designed and implemented a WebGL-Tool for studying and training of color spaces. Till’s thesis was developed in cooperation with dSPACE and focused on the real-time shadowing included in a Deferred Rendering pipeline.

Between 2011 and 2016 Professor Gitta Domik was co-editor (jointly with Professor Scott Owen, Georgia State University, USA) of the “Education Department” in the IEEE Computer Graphics and Application (CGA) magazine. At the last meeting of the Editorial Board of IEEE CGA on 21st October 2016 in Baltimore, MD, US, she handed the editorialship over to successors Professor Beatriz Sousa Santos (University of Aveiro, Portugal) and Dr. Ginger Alford…
In their Master Theses, Sabrina Heppner and Marius Dransfeld deal with the development of 3D rendering solutions using a Deferred Rendering pipeline. Their aim is the improvement of virtual street scenes to test camera based Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) (further reading: mather thesis of Sabrina Heppner, master thesis of Marius Dransfeld) which is a contemporary issue in computer graphics research for the automotive industry. This…
Stephan Arens, M.Sc., used results from his PhD thesis to illustrate a significant fact from the past to visitors of the State Museum of Detmold: A 6500 year old baby mummy, originating from South America and exhibited in the museum, was recently investigated by a medical team of the Heart and Diabetes Center of Bad Oeynhausen (under the guidance of Prof. Dr. W. Burchert) to detect the cause of its death. In a virtual autopsy they diagnosed a…
During the summers of 2012 and 2013, Professor Gitta Domik hosted workshops for high school students to teach how to utilize mathematics to build and animate virtual worlds. The participants were juniors in high school who had chosen advanced math courses for their final two years before graduating. They had already mastered most of the math required for this workshop, so all that was needed was a short specialization in matrix and vector…
