I work for Google now, while I am still involved in some academic projects. I hope to provide exciting products to people in the world and prove that computer vision is exciting and useful.

What's new

Google MapsGL launched!

INTEL CEO talked about our itnernet-scale MVS work

PMVS is used for real film production by Industrial Light & Magic.

Towards Internet-scale Multi-view Stereo - CVPR2010 - (high res movie)
The core clustering software is available!

Who Am I ?

I am a post-doctoral research associate (or postdoc) in the Graphics and Imaging Laboratory at University of Washington. I work with Prof. Seitz and Prof. Curless at University of Washington, and Rick Szeliski at Microsoft Research. I obtained a B.S. degree under the supervision of Dr. Yoshihisa Shinagawa at University of Tokyo in March 2001. I completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Ponce at Computer Science Department of Univeristy of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in May 2008. My primary research interests are in Computer Vision and Computer Graphics. The following is a list of projects I've worked on.

Resources

Changchang Wu distributes an automated end-to-end 3D reconstruction system from images, which integrates well with our CMVS and PMVS.
I recently found a very interesting website, which has nice video tutorials on an end-to-end 3D reconstruction system (including PMVS2) on Windows (32/64 bits) machines. Here is the link.
CVPR 2010 Tutorial on 3D shape Reconstruction from Photographs: a Multi-View Stereo Approach.
Clustering software for Multi-view Stereo (CVPR 2010) is now available!
Windows binary (32 and 64 bits versions) and modified source codes of PMVS2 is now available at Pierre Moulon's website!
3D viewer with the gallery dataset for download (ICCV paper)
2nd version of PMVS is now available with the source codes
