Every lens leaves a blur signature—a hidden fingerprint in every photo. In our new #TPAMI paper, we show how to learn it fast (5 mins of capture!) with Lens Blur Fields ✨ With it, we can tell apart ‘identical’ phones by their optics, deblur images, and render realistic blurs.

Because of my spinal injury, I was thinking that I wish I could have upside down belaying glasses so that I can hold a book or phone comfortably again and...this product exists, and is really inexpensive! They're called "lazy glasses" or "crochet glasses". Now to find out how well it works for me.

My lab will be recruiting at all levels. PhD students, postdocs, and a research engineering position (worldwide for PhD/postdoc, EU candidates only for the engineering position). If you're at SIGGRAPH, I'd love to talk to you if you are interested in any of these.

20kts of wind makes for a lot of miles put away! I just marvel at the free energy of wind and current--I'm moving my *home* around with minimal effort, cost, and environmental impact, while sitting here making a sandwich and coffee enjoying the ride. #sailing

I retired 5 years ago at age 67. I feel that is when my “real career” began. I have never been more engaged, productive, and fulfilled. It was incredibly liberating to decide I could switch to working for no salary: no boss to argue with and working purely on topics that inspire me. It is magical.

It’s been 3,174 days since I escaped corporate life. I was 44. My children were tiny. Now they're teenagers. Today I turn 53, and we are infinitely happier here, in our farmhouse by the ocean. No more meetings. No more commute. If I can escape, you can too (because I'm a dumbass). #Life #Art

More beautiful BC hiking in provincial island parks this weekend. Native arbutus/madrone trees that shed their orange bark are a distinctive fixture on these shores.

Too much of my boat storage is for shoes! Hiking boots, offshore boots, ankle sailing boots, reef shoes, slippers, slides, sailing sneakers, shore sneakers, hip waders, and lightweight summer sailing sneakers. And I still have nothing "nice" to wear on shore for socializing... #sailing
