Automated Cinematography with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Research Paper / WICED 2016 - 5th Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Editing / May 2016 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Production Workflow

The rise of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and their increasing use in the cinema industry calls for the creation of dedicated tools. Though there is a range of techniques to automatically control drones for a variety of applications, none have considered the problem of producing cinematographic camera motion in real-time for shooting purposes. In this paper we present our approach to UAV navigation for autonomous cinematography. The contributions of this research are twofold: (i) we adapt virtual camera control techniques to UAV navigation; (ii) we introduce a drone-independent platform for high-level user interactions that integrates cinematographic knowledge. The results presented in this paper demonstrate the capacities of our tool to capture live movie scenes involving one or two moving actors.

Metagrating solutions for full color single-plate waveguide combiner
RESEARCH PAPER / Feb 2022 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Image Processing
In this work we propose several full-color metagrating solutions for single waveguide-based Augmented and Virtual Reality near-eye display systems. The presented solutions are based on a combination of reflective and/or transmissive diffraction gratings inside or outside a waveguide. The proposed designs have high intensity across a wide angular range. Applying...
Study on Automatic 3D Facial Caricaturization: from rules to Deep Learning
RESEARCH PAPER / Jan 2022 / Computer Graphics, Immersive/AR/VR/MR
Facial caricature is the art of drawing faces in an exaggerated way to convey emotions such as humor or sarcasm. Automatic caricaturization has been explored both in the 2D and 3D domain. In this paper, we present the first study of facial mesh caricaturization techniques. In addition to a user...
Over-wavelength pitch sized diffraction gratings for augmented reality applications
RESEARCH PAPER / Jan 2022 / Immersive/AR/VR/MR, Optics, Light Field
Waveguide based optical combiners for Augmented Reality (AR) glasses are integrating several Surface Relief Gratings (SRG) whose pitch sizes can be as small as 200 nm for the blue wavelength. All SRG components exploit the first diffraction order to couple in and out or to deviate the light. We present...
