Notes on graphics, colour and video by Billy Biggs <vektor@dumbterm.net>

This website hosts my notes, experiments, and code relating to topics in graphics, colour and video. Please email me and let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or bugs.

	exrtools: a collection of utilities for manipulating OpenEXR images
	A comparison of gradients rendered in different colourspaces
	Notes on the CIECAM02 colour appearance model
	Non-linear masking techniques for digital photographs
	Notes on halftone image approximations
	My FAQ on deinterlacing
	Overscan and broadcast television
	Rendering rotated text
	Hue rotations for mapping icon colour themes
	TV output for video applications under Linux
	Colour difference coding and computing
	A simple prediction-based video codec

	Implementation of an edge directed image scaling algorithm based on a data-dependent triangulation
	Smooth animations with XFree86

My research interests in graphics are roughly as follows:

1. Rendering photorealistic images
   • Dealing with spectral representations
   • Global illumination
   • BRDF models
2. Appearance modelling
   • Efficient and accurate colour, image and video appearance models
   • Tone mapping for HDR images or video sequences
   • Edge-directed methods
3. Image-based techniques
   • Extracting lighting models from images or video
   • Plausible realism
4. Rendering motion
   • Dealing with temporal aliasing
   • Temporal perception effects
5. Perceptual rendering
   • Using perceptual models to artificially enhance renderings
   • Directly rendering in perceptual colour spaces
