Overview
Gary Meyer's
research focuses on color synthesis and color reproduction techniques
for computer graphics. He takes advantage
of what is known about the human color vision system to improve the
efficiency and realism of synthetic image generation techniques and
to increase the accuracy and quality of the color reproduction accomplished
by computer graphic devices. Much of his research
in realistic image synthesis is focused on replacing the explicit
simulation of a camera with an imaging technique that incorporates
more of what is known about the human visual system. In this way he
hopes to avoid some of the artifacts inherent in photographic techniques
and to develop a more device independent representation for color.
He and his students are also working to
advance the state of the art in synthetic image generation by simulating
the mechanisms in nature (such as refraction, scattering, and interference)
that determine color. This work also provides an opportunity to address
practical color reproduction problems such as the simulation of local
reflection and surface appearance. Finally, they
use computer graphic techniques to visualize the gamuts of color reproduction
devices. This provides a unique tool for solving color problems and
for teaching color concepts.
