Presenter

Rafał K. Mantiuk is a Professor of Graphics and Displays at the Department of Computer Science and Technology, University of Cambridge (UK). He received Ph.D. from the Max-Planck Institute for Computer Science (Germany). His recent interests focus on computational displays, rendering and imaging algorithms that adapt to human visual performance and deliver the best image quality given limited resources, such as computation time or bandwidth. He contributed to early work on high dynamic range imaging, including quality metrics (HDR-VDP), video compression and tone-mapping. More recently, he led an ERC-funded project on the capture and display system that passed the visual Turing test - 3D objects were reproduced with fidelity that made them undistinguishable from their real counterparts.
