Computer simulation accurately captures the beguiling motion of a liquid magnetic material.
KAUST researchers Anna Fruehstueck, Dr. Ibraheem Alhashim, and Prof. Peter Wonka have developed a novel technique to generate images of realistic and highly detailed texture maps using deep neural networks. The texture images synthesized by their system TileGAN can be of gigapixel size and are created by seamlessly merging smaller texture blocks into a single large image. The underlying neural networks are trained using high-resolution images such as detailed satellite imagery, maps and famous paintings.
As the volume and complexity of data captured around the world continues to grow exponentially, new ways of exploring and visualizing this data are required. Today, society has moved beyond the traditional desktop computer with tools such as augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR) at the forefront of immersive data visualization and analysis.
Adel won the outstanding reviewer award for CVPR19
We are proudly announcing that Professor Ivan Viola has joined VCC as an Associate Professor of Computer Science in November, 2018. He is establishing the Nano-visualization Research Group as a part of the Visual Computing Center.
Teaching has the power to test the limits of one's knowledge. Teaching algorithms to learn using machine learning is making it possible for cars to do away with human drivers in the near future, but this has also opened up new questions about the limits of our knowledge of the brain and learning.
The Visual Computing Center would like to welcome back Professor Helmut Pottmann who recently rejoined the center in October 2018.
FalconViz has been successfully listed among the 9 most promising startups in Saudi Arabia according to Startup MGZN. It is a Saudi registered company focused on 3D surveying and mapping by Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) with autonomous integration of
