I work as an Early Stage Researcher at Tampere University (TAU), Finland, and my research topic is “Real-time view interpolation with distributed heterogeneous computing“.
You can read my introduction here.
My research topic
My research topic is at the intersection between parallel computing, photorealistic rendering and perception.
While light field displays allow to mitigate the vergence-accomodation conflict that occurs with traditional displays. However, generating multiple photorealistic images in real-time (50-90Hz) for those displays becomes computationally expensive as the number of views in a light field increases.
By using multiple GPUs, we can divide the workload and thus reduce the computation time. Moreover techniques such as view interpolation are useful to reduce the computational complexity. However the different data transfers between GPUs must to be taken into account to minimize as much as possible the data transfer latency.
When mixing all of these together, it becomes possible to design a model in order to control the flow of the workload (tasks to execute) as well as the image quality and the rendering latency to optimize real-time rendering for light field displays.
Slam video
In the context of the PLENOPTIMA project we were asked to produce a short video summarizing our own research.
Research activities
In September 2022 I presented my work about dynamic load-balancing for multiview path tracing on multi-GPU architectures at the Computer Graphics International 2022 conference.
From January 2023 to June 2023 I carry out my secondment at Mid Sweden University.
Hobbies
I used to practice rugby back in France for many years. Now in Finland I am involved in Tampere Rugby Club.
During the 2021-2022 season we got promoted to the first Finnish Championship division (see pictures on the left) by winning against Jyväskylä.
All of this, without forgetting to mention that the Rugby World Cup in 2023 will be held in France.
