Current interests
Automatic bas-relief generation from 3D scenes or 2D images.
Example Research Title:
Bas-relief Generation Using Shape-from-Shading
How to create bas-reliefs from 2D real world images?
Application Area:
Computer aided industral design such as coinage. Application in 3D camera.
Research:
We learn the relationship between the views of 3D models and their bas-reliefs, and generate bas-relief images from real world images. We also develop a structure preserving shape-from-shading method to recover the bas-relief surfaces. Various techniques are utilized to enhance the salient features.
Looking for Commercial Partners:
Our work assists the artistic work in coinage. It may be of interest to Royal Mint. Also, it may open a new application in 3D camera.
Collaboration:
Dr Yonghuai Liu et al. at Aberystwyth University providing useful ideas of generating bas-relief images.
