Applied Research in Digital Intelligence
Rendering is the application of visual effects to a 3D scene and is often based on effects of physics (e.g.: reflection, refraction, radiosity, etc.). The use of shaders is often necessary to obtain real-time performance (e.g. rendering in video games).
The study of animation is the primary expertise of the CDRIN. Initially done using animation data acquisition technologies (MOtion CAPture), the team now exploits video and machine learning to understand, track, classify or compare movements or animations.
At the CDRIN, modeling is about using the skills of a programmer to reconstruct virtual objects (e.g. characters, environments, etc.) from lines of code. Modeling means starting from 2D media such as photographs, images or videos to give them volume (3D).
We have a strong expertise in automating and improving production pipelines in VFX, video games and animation. We automate exchanges between software, add features to existing software such as Unity, and conduct research to add pipeline features, including rendering and animations.
From ideation to commercialization
Proposition of practical applications on analytical bases.
Studies and recommendations on the basic properties of a technology applicable to a problem.
The process of proving that an idea will work once it is implemented.
Analytical or laboratory studies demonstrate feasibility with individual components that are not yet integrated or representative of the final product, then the individual elements are combined to validate that they work together.
A prototype has the full technical and operating characteristics of a solution. Projects at this stage integrate, adapt and validate a complete solution in the partner's environment until the model or prototype represents a desired configuration that can be integrated into this production environment.
Production is the stage where the solution is really implemented in its final form and function. At this stage, projects consist of development and implementation for end users.
You have a research result in hand, ready for the commercialization phase? To implement this solution within your company or to enhance it in another sector of activity, it is sometimes necessary to invest in skill development. In addition to ensuring that this solution is well integrated into your offer, we can also help your team prepare to exploit it.
ABOUT
The CDRIN is recognized as a beacon of excellence in multimedia data integration. Our organization puts artificial intelligence at the service of citizens.
Who we are
The Centre de développement et de recherche en intelligence numérique (CDRIN) conducts research and technology transfer in digital intelligence, particularly in entertainment technology and artificial intelligence for small, medium, and large-sized companies. It also responds to needs in skill development and workforce training in this rapidly evolving sector.
Our Mission
The CDRIN offers research and development services, technical assistance, specialized training and innovation support for companies. The CDRIN exploits digital intelligence technologies for creative and cultural industries as well as in the fields of education and health. Our center aims to promote these technologies and this knowledge in collaboration with scientific, industrial, cultural, and artistic partners.
Our vision
By strengthening the links between university research and Montreal-based SMEs, the CDRIN will become a vehicle which increases capacities of the applied research culture in digital creativity throughout Quebec. The CDRIN will support the implementation of a digital creativity pole in Eastern Quebec to provide an environment that can boost this type of initiative in our region.
