Abstract
Visual Analysis adds breadth to a computer graphics course by teaching students to compare and contrast the visual effects of rendering algorithms. Using slides to teach visual analysis minimizes the amount of required lecture time, and the interactive tool TERA facilitates further study outside of class. Visual analysis enhances depth as well as breadth of knowledge, because students become familiar with an algorithm's visual effect before they implement it.

A depth perception and visual comfort guided computational model for stereoscopic 3D visual saliency
With the emerging development of three-dimensional (3D) related technologies, 3D visual saliency modeling is becoming particularly important and challenging. This paper presents a new depth perception and visual comfort guided saliency computational ...
Visual attention analysis and prediction on human faces
Human faces are almost always the focus of visual attention because of the rich semantic information therein. While some visual attention models incorporating face cues indeed perform better in images with faces, yet there is no systematic analysis of ...
