Sunday June 10th will be a full day of tutorials, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Participating in one or both tutorials is the same price, which includes lunch and coffee breaks. Registration for tutorials is handled alongside the general SCIA registration process.


Tutorial 1: "High Quality Rendering using Ray tracing and Photon Mapping", by Henrik Wann Jensen.
Sunday, June 10, 9.00 to 12.00.

This tutorial will describe the ray tracing and photon mapping algorithms for rendering complex scenes with reflections, indirect illumination, caustics, participating media, and subsurface scattering. The purpose of the tutorial is to provide the practical insight necessary to use ray tracing and photon mapping in production of high quality images in movies, games, architecture etc.








Tutorial 2: "Visual Recognition of People, Places, and Things", by Jitendra Malik.
Sunday, June 10, 14.00 to 17.00.

Jitendra Malik was born in Mathura, India in 1960. He received the B.Tech degree in Electrical Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur in 1980 and the PhD degree in Computer Science from Stanford University in 1985. In  1986, he joined the university of California at Berkeley, where he is currently the Arthur J. Chick Professor in the Computer Science Division, Department of Electrical Engg and Computer Sciences. He is also on the faculty of the Cognitive Science and Vision Science groups.

His research interests are in computer vision and computational modeling of human vision. His work spans a range of topics in vision including image segmentation and grouping, texture, stereopsis, object recognition, image based modeling and rendering, content based image querying, and intelligent vehicle highway systems. He has authored or co-authored more than a hundred and thirty research papers on these topics.
