Assistant Professor at the University of Tokyo's Department of Creative Informatics, Maria Larsson will present a wide and fascinating range of possibilities issued from her scientific research on wood, aiming to enhance human creativity through technology, contributing to advancements in computational design and sustainable manufacturing.
In Japanese, “mokume” refers to the natural patterns found in wood, particularly the annual rings, rays, pores and knots that form its structure. What Maria calls “Mokume dataset” serves as a comprehensive resource for wood texture analysis and synthesis, including high-resolution scans of various wood species, that enable accurate digital modeling. Thus the visitor will discover an innovative approach to wood texture modeling that is based on this Mokume dataset and inverse procedural modeling techniques.
