Karan Singh and Wayne Enright (Toronto)Overview
Computer Animation is an eclectic science that uniquely combines mathematics,
computer science, fine art, classical animation, physics, biomechanics
and anatomy, to name but a few fields. Its applications are diverse,
ranging from motion pictures and games to medicine and scientific simulation;
its influence equally wide-reaching. At the heart of computer animation
techniques lie many fundamental mathematical concepts. Algorithms for
computer animation rely heavily on techniques from scientific computation,
statistics, signal processing, linear algebra, control theory and computational
geometry. Ironically, however, the most appreciated qualities of computer
animation elude mathematical analysis.
The goal of this workshop is to lay the foundation for breaking new
ground in computer animation by bringing researchers, mathematicians,
students, animators and industrial partners together in an intimate
informal setting to foster collaboration and exchange of ideas.
