Research Interests

* Graphics * Vision * Augmented and Virtual Reality * Visualization * 3D Interaction

Mudur's interest in computer graphics started with his undergraduate thesis project in 1969. Since then he has been actively researching the field of computer graphics with focus on graphics systems, geometric modelling, photo-realistic rendering, animation and virtual environments. More recently his research covers the areas of object reconstruction from 3D scans and GIS data, appearance modeling, virtual and augmented reality environments, and applications in CAD/CAM and entertainment.

Teaching

Mudur taught his first course to graduate students in Mumbai in 1976 on 'Programming 3D Graphics using GPGS'. Since then he has taught and also developed many new programs and courses.

Below, these are listed in two categories - since joining Concordia in 2002 and before 2002.


2002 - Current:

  • Probability and Statistics for Computer Science (undergraduate) - COMP 233
  • Computer Graphics Using OpenGL (undergraduate) - COMP 371 (formerly COMP 471)
  • Introduction to Game Development (undergraduate) - COMP 376
  • Advanced Game Development (undergraduate/graduate) - COMP 476/COMP 6331
  • System Software (Computer Science/Software Engineering undergraduates) - COMP/SOEN 229
  • Quality Assurance and Management in Software Development(undergraduate) - SOEN 383
  • Software Project Management (undergraduate) - SOEN 384
  • Advanced Computer Graphics (graduate) - COMP 6761
  • Advanced Rendering and Animation in 3D games (graduate) - COMP 7661
  • System Software (Software Engineering undergraduate) - SOEN 229
  • Multimedia Computing (graduate) - SOEN 6761
  • Case Study in Software Engineering (graduate) - SOEN 6951


Most of the following courses were graduate courses taught in Mumbai. A few are undergraduate courses taught when visiting universities in USA, Canada, and other universities in India.

Projects (Ongoing and Past)

Human Motion Analysis and Synthesis (Current): Data driven approaches from large sensed data is the principal focus in this research. Examples of recent work include - Time and Shape Correspondence (TSC) algorithm for multi-dimensional time series matching, Learning human action sequence style from video, and Optimized keyframe extraction for 3D character animations using locally linear embedding. Current Collaborators: T. Fevens, T. Popa, K. Mendhurwar


High-Fidelity 3D Landscapes from Geospatial Databases (Current): Uses multi-modal data available in Geospatial databases including remote sensed imagery. Examples of work include - Use of semantic web technology to create a knowledgebase (ontologies) and inferencing framework to classify object types and extract detailed values for reconstruction of landscape objects, and Extended framework with Data Extractors to fuse data from shape file, elevation, and imagery datasets and automatically derive specific parameter values needed for creating 3D models. Current Collaborators: C. Poulis, T. Popa, P. Eid Maroun


Accurate 3D Models from Sparse Point Clouds (Current): Depth data obtained from 3D scanners, or from vision techniques such as structure from motion, multi-view stereo, etc. are voluminous, but usually noisy and non-uniform (sparse in some regions). For this data driven modelling problem we are exploring both algorithmic and machine learning techniques. Examples include - Reconstruction driven by Gestalt laws for aesthetic shape and stepwise tightening of a topological constraint. Current Collaborators: C. Poullis, T. Popa


Interactive Spaces for Media Arts and Stage Performances (Current): Increasingly artistic expression and communication in varied forms of dance, theatre, narrative and stage performances in general are moving towards interactive spaces where there is a blend of real and imaginary worlds in which graphics, moving images, sound, text, and haptics coexist and cooperate with humans (artists and participants), and also among each other in the transmission of a message. Examples include - Development of new multi-modal methods using interactive technologies to create such interactive spaces. Current Collaborators: S. Mokhov, M. Song, P. Grogono.


Realistic Rendering, Global Illumination and Appearance Models (Current and Past): Realistic rendering requires accurate modelling of the transmission of light in the virtual environment along with correct modelling of the material (appearance) properties of the objects in the environment. Examples of my work in this area include - the significant contribution of formulating the Adjoint system of equations for modelling illumination, Monte-Carlo methods for realistic rendering and more recently appearance modelling of outdoor scenes in projection mapping applications. Current Collaborator: C. Poullis


Cultural Heritage Documentation (Current and Past): High end interactive graphics/vision/immersive AR/VR techniques can be very effectively used to document cultural heritage. Examples of my work in this area cover varied subjects ranging over - heritage sites , Indians scripts, Chinese opera, African Kuba textiles, Indian Kolam patterns(p36) and Mediterrean middle ages seafaring practices. Current Collaborators: C. Poullis, B. Simon.


Robust Geometric Computations on Curves and Surfaces (Past): Algorithms for processing curves and surface are essential in many graphics and CAD/CAM applications and they have to be both robust and efficient. Examples of work in this area include the significant contribution of using interval methods and subdivision techniques, , an early contribution in non-photorealistic rendering, the brush-trajectory based figure specification, planar development of complex surfaces, geometry compression based on repeating featuresa> and advancing fan-fronta>.


Visualization Techniques (Past): Development of new tools and techniques for interactive visualization of datasets in different domains. Examples of my work include visualization of large software source code using slicing, clickstream visualization through web usage patterns, visual analysis of protein folding trajectories , lung deformation visualization and a framework for evaluation of visualization techniques .


Augmented/Virtual Reality Systems (Current and Past): Development of augmented/virtual reality systems for varied applications in engineering, health and arts. Examples of work include distributed augmented reality for construction engineering tasks , interactive documentary creation, virtual walkthroughs and public stereoscopic displays. Current Collaborators: C. Poullis, S. Mokhov, M. Song


3D Interaction Techniques (Current and Past): Natural and intuitive interaction techniques are essential if augmented and virtual reality environments have to find widespread practical and economically beneficial use. Examples of work in this include gesture based support for stereoscopic drawing, tangible interaction for 3D sound design, human computer interaction for media arts and stage performances . Current Collaborators: C. Poullis, L. Sujir, S. Mokhov, M. Song
