Dr. Aliaga joined the department in Fall 2003. His research activities are in the area of computer graphics, in particular capturing and rendering large complex environments. Applications for his research include telepresence, computer-aided design, and education. Dr. Aliaga's work into this general problem overlaps with several fields, including:
- computer graphics
- computer vision
- robotics
- data compression
- system building
Over the years, Dr. Aliaga has developed and published several new algorithms for interactively rendering massive geometrical models, recreating complex 3D environments, visibility culling, reconstructing images, estimating camera pose, calibrating cameras, and compressing images. In addition, he has designed several complete experimental research systems, in collaboration with researchers at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Princeton University, Johns Hopkins University, and Bell Laboratories.
