SUMMARY:Brown bag: Kavita Bala
DESCRIPTION:Title: Materials In The Wild\nSpeaker: Kavita Bala\nAbstract:
	 Our daily lives bring us in contact with a rich range of materials that
	 contribute to both the utility and aesthetics of the built environment.
	 Human beings are remarkably good at making subtle distinctions in
	 material appearance (e.g.\, silk vs. cotton\, laminate vs. granite). We
	 are working on a broad range of projects in my group on understanding\,
	 recognizing\, modeling and rendering materials in the wild. I will
	 describe our recent work on creating crowdsourced material databases\,
	 material recognition\, and modeling and rendering of translucent
	 materials. \nThis work has applications in graphics and vision
	 applications including virtual and augmented reality\, e-commerce and
	 retail\, and virtual prototyping for industrial\, interior\, and textile
	 design.
