SUMMARY:Vision, Imaging, and Simulation for Heat and Light
DESCRIPTION:Mani Ramanagopal and Bailey Miller (Carnegie Mellon University
 )\n\nThis 105-minute course explores how heat and light work together acro
 ss Vision, Imaging, and Simulation. These phenomena are fundamentally coup
 led — absorbed light heats materials, while hot objects radiate thermal en
 ergy as infrared light — yet computer vision and imaging typically ignore 
 heat, while engineering focuses only on thermal effects without considerin
 g light.\n\nWe show how accounting for both heat and light opens new possi
 bilities. Measuring absorbed light intensity enables solving image analysi
 s problems that were previously impossible. Heat flow patterns reveal obje
 ct shapes. Multi-spectral thermal cameras can separate what objects reflec
 t versus what they emit. These applications rely on thermal cameras that o
 perate fundamentally differently from visible light cameras — using bolome
 tric rather than photoelectric sensing — creating unique challenges in mot
 ion deblurring and noise modeling that we address.\n\nThese new vision and
  imaging capabilities demand equally novel simulation tools. The simulatio
 n component introduces Monte Carlo methods for thermal phenomena, showing 
 how walk-on-spheres algorithms enable grid-free heat conduction simulation
  on complex geometry. These methods work together to handle both light and
  heat processes, enabling complete thermal simulation with potential appli
 cations in hardware design, synthetic dataset generation, and real-world s
 cene analysis.\n\nThis course targets computer vision, graphics, and imagi
 ng researchers wanting to work beyond visible light. Participants will lea
 rn basic theory and practical techniques for heat-light interactions, unde
 rstanding state-of-the-art developments and opening new research direction
 s at the intersection of thermal vision, imaging, and physics-based simula
 tion.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Full Access Supporter\n\n
