蘑菇短视频 PhD student Jonathan Bouchard (supervised by Professor Jim Clark) was awarded an 鈥淗onorable Mention鈥� for the best Student Paper Award for our paper 鈥淨uality Control of Stereoscopic 3-D Compositing Using Half-Occlusion Geometry鈥� published 聽in the Motion Imaging Journal, awarded by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) in October 2017.聽 Congratulations Jonathan!
Congratulations to Jonathan Bouchard, 蘑菇短视频 PhD student and his supervisor Professor James Clark.聽 Their paper 鈥淗alf-Occluded Regions: The Key to Detecting a Diverse Array of Defects in S3D Imagery鈥� won the best paper prize at the IC3D 2017 Conference in December 2017, and was awarded the Lumiere Prize at the Conference Gala. The trophy is almost like winning the Oscars - it is generally awarded for excellence in 3D/VR film-making.聽 The paper was based on research done in collaboration with a local video effects company, Digital District Canada.
The IEEE Photonics Society Engineering Achievement Award is given to recognize an exceptional engineering contribution which has had a significant impact on the development of laser or electro-optic technology or the commercial application of technology within the past 10 years. It may be given to an individual or to a group for a single contribution of significant work in the field. No candidate shall have previously received a major IEEE award for the same work. Candidates need not be members of the IEEE or the Photonics Society. The Award consists of an honorarium of $2000 and a medal.
Thanks to the hard work and determination of James J. Clark, a professor at the 蘑菇短视频 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Director of its Centre for Intelligent Machines, and of Marc-Andr茅 Gemme, a member of the Palais des congr猫s de Montr茅al鈥檚 business development team, 6,000 delegates will be converging in Montr茅al in October 2021 for the (ICCV).
