Visual Display: Realizing Cyber Tourism on the Internet
This project aims at generating the "best" web pages to visualize
a "space", which can be a city, a town, a park, a historical
site, a shopping mall, a facility, a house, etc. Different kinds of displays
are provided so that the viewer can easily obtain spatial information
and visually perceive the environment around.
We also construct a database containing visual data sets in different
periods, locations, and categories. Data sets are indexed according to
their attributes (time, space, category) in a multidimensional information
space. The reader can therefore traverse space freely, trace temporal
changes at one location, and access various aspects at a place. Those
attributes themselves can be organized in a hierarchy so as to realize
retrievals at different demanded resolutions.

Research Interests
Dr. Zheng earned his B.S. degree from Fudan University, China, in 1983, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Osaka University in Japan in 1987 and 1990, respectively. He was with ATR Communication Systems Research Laboratory as a research associate from 2000-2003. He then worked at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, from 1993 to 2001 as an associate professor. He specializes in the areas of image, vision, graphics, virtual reality, multimedia, and the internet. His current research interests include 3D Modeling, Dynamic Image Processing, scene representation, digital museums, and combining vision with graphics and human interface. Dr. Zheng received 1991 Best Paper Award from the Information Processing Society of Japan for generating the world's first digital panoramic image. He also received the Excellent Paper Award from the Japan Society of Art and Science in 2000 for his development of a graphics tool to extract human motion from video. He is a senior member of IEEE, and adjunct professor in Beijing University, China.
