CS 348C Proposed Topics

The topics are designed to be equally hard to investigate and present. Using the number of papers under a topic as a measure of its difficulty can be very deceptive: e.g. presenting four papers using the same basic technique is easier than covering two papers with radically different approaches.

• Fire and smoke (FS).
• Plants and trees (PT).
• Light bursts: lightning and fireworks (LB).
• Animals:
  • Animal skin (AS1).
  • Animal movement (AM).
• Human hair (HM).
• Light and matter:
  • Unusual surfaces I: cloth, pigmented, and rugged surfaces (US1).
  • Unusual surfaces II: pearlescent surfaces (US2).
  • Light scattering: atmospheric and subsurface (LS).
• Drape of cloth (DC).
• Odds and ends: glare effects and silver tarnish (OE).

• Clicking on an author's name will either transport you to the home page of the author, or bring up a dialog box which you can use to send email to the author.
• Clicking on a paper title transports you to a page, either a local or a remote one, containing information directly related to the paper, e.g. figures, movies, software.
