The University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory has been conducting
research in Computer Science since 1937. It was rated 5* (the top
rating) in the 1996 UK Research Assessment Exercise.
Within the Computer Laboratory, the Graphics Research Group has been a
centre for research in computer graphics, human-computer interaction,
electronic publishing and applications for over 30 years.
Contributions have ranged from display hardware through algorithms to
applications in computer-aided design and animation. Recent work has
included video user interfaces, multi-level modelling for control of
detail and the Cambridge autostereo display, which is now being
exploited commercially. Overall the research group
consists of some 20 people and is a friendly and supportive
environment.
The Computer Laboratory has extensive experience in modelling for
three dimensional computer graphics. Its role in the project will be,
in collaboration with the other partners, to build on the foundations
laid by P. Brown and J. Sewell in order to investigate further
the uses of multi-resolution models in 3D computer graphics.
Neil Dodgson is a University Lecturer in the Computer Laboratory, and
will be co-ordinating the Laboratory's part of the project.
Malcolm Sabin was a Royal Society Industrial Fellow at the University
of Cambridge from 1996 to 1998 and has collaborated with the Graphics
Research Group in the Computer Laboratory since that time.
His main research interests are in the mathematics of curves and
surfaces.
