DESCRIPTION:Mermaids and pirates\, the Hulk and Iron Man! This talk will d
 escribe the behind-the-scenes technology of ILM's match-moving and 3D capt
 ure system used in recent movies\, including The Avengers\, Pirates of the
  Caribbean\, and Battleship\, as well as new sub-pixel tracking of entire 
 natural environments in Avatar\, Star Trek\, and The Lone Ranger to create
  the latest 3D visual effects. It will also show how similar technology ha
 s been used with New York Times infographics to demonstrate the body langu
 age of presidential debates\, the motions of a New York Philharmonics cond
 uctor\, New York Yankee Mariano Rivera's pitch style\, and Olympic swimmer
  Dana Vollmer's famous butterfly stroke that won her four gold medals.\n\n
 While Motion Capture is the predominant technology used for these domains\
 , we have moved beyond such studio-based technology to do special effects 
 without markers and without multiple high-speed IR cameras. Instead\, many
  projects are shot on-site\, outdoors\, and in challenging environments wi
 th the benefit of new interactive computer vision techniques.\n
