By If you're in the business of developing breakthroughs in visualization and imaging, then you won't want to miss the GPU Technology Conference next month. With over 250 technology sessions presented by industry luminaries, there’s a wealth of information being shared, including tracks devoted to exploring new techniques in the graphics and visualization space involving ray tracing, image processing, video processing and medical imaging.
For content production, attendees can learn about how mental images' iray interactive ray tracing is being leveraged in applications to streamline product development, and how the OptiX application acceleration engine can be integrated into your own application. There are several great sessions on ray tracing and other rendering techniques, including:
- Black Rock Studio’s Bridging Ray and Raster Processing on GPUs
- Bunkspeed’s Driving a Product from Rasterization to Ray Tracing: The Developer Experience
- GPU Ray Tracing Exposed: Under the Hood of the NVIDIA OptiX Ray Tracing Engine
- Next-Generation Rendering with CgFX
- GPUs at the Computer Animation Studio
- iray – GPUs and the Photorealistic Rendering Revolution
Some particularly interesting sessions for video processing and editing include:
- Computer Vision Algorithms for Automating HD Post-Production
- Developing GPU Enabled Visual Effects For Film And Video
- Enabling Large-Scale CCTV Face Recognition
- GPU Acceleration in Adobe Creative Tools
- GPU-Based Image Processing in Military Applications
- H.264/AVC Video Encoding with CUDA and OpenCL
For image processing applications, there are a broad range of topics being covered, including
- Using CUDA to Accelerate Radar Image Processing; Accelerating Stereographic and Multi-View Images Using Layered Rendering
- Computational Photography: Real-Time Plenoptic Rendering
Finally, there are some fascinating sessions on how GPUs are revolutionizing visualization in medicine, including:
- Siemen’s Real-time Volumetric Medical Ultrasound Applications for GPU Computing
- BioDigital Systems’ (in conjunction with the University of California San Francisco) Virtual Surgery session
- High-Speed CT Reconstruction in Medical Diagnosis & Industrial NDT Applications
