I was a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin, Madison,
where I worked in the Machine Vision group headed by Dr. Chuck Dyer.
My email address was and still is: rmanning@cs.wisc.edu

The general topic of my thesis research was image-based rendering (IBR). Within that broad area, I focused on two subtopics: (1) IBR for dynamic scenes (i.e., scenes containing motion) and (2) self calibration for automatic scene reconstruction. More recently, I have been working on a problem in medical image analysis.

• A fast, robust algorithm for metric self calibration from static scenes
• Screw-transform manifolds and metric self calibration ; see also the screw-transform manifold gallery
• Affine calibration from multiple moving objects
• View Interpolation
  • Dynamic view morphing
  • Environment map morphing
  • Augmented view interpolation
• Turntable view interpolation
• Automatic recombination of separated color channels (Prokudin-Gorsky images)

I spent two years as a TA before joining Dr. Dyer's research group. In the first year, I taught a section for a class introducing general students to computers and graded for a data structures class. In the second year I taught an introductory programming class:

• CS110 (Introductory Programming)
