Modern blockbuster movies seamlessly introduce impossible characters and action into real-world settings using digital visual effects. These effects are made possible by research from the field of computer vision, the study of how to automatically understand images. Computer Vision for Visual Effects will educate students, engineers and researchers about the fundamental computer vision principles and state-of-the-art algorithms used to create cutting-edge visual effects for movies and television. The author describes classical computer vision algorithms used on a regular basis in Hollywood (such as blue screen matting, structure from motion, optical flow and feature tracking) and exciting recent developments that form ...

About Richard J. Radke
Richard J. Radke is a Professor in the ECSE (Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering) department at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), where he researches topics in computer vision, the study of algorithms for automatically understanding images. After many years of teaching image processing courses, he became particularly interested in the computer vision algorithms behind Hollywood visual effects (VFX), which are the ... Read more
Reviews for Computer Vision for Visual Effects
"Hollywood's achievements in visual effects have been enabled not just by advances in computer graphics, but just as much by techniques from the neighboring field of computer vision. Vision techniques such as camera tracking, 3D reconstruction, and face and body motion capture contribute to most of the visual effects shots we see today. Rich Radke's book Computer Vision for Visual ... Read more
