2011/Fall        Advanced seminar in:  3D (Deforming) Geometry Processing

 

Overview

The creation of digital geometric content is one of the fundamental tasks in computer graphics and is central in many areas of our life. Most man-made or manufactured objects around us, as well as man-made landscapes, are modeled on a computer first. Geometric modeling is essential in engineering design and simulation, product prototyping and manufacturing, surgical planning, prosthesis design, architecture, geology, art, films and video games, and more. Digital 3D models, especially those acquired from real-world objects by scanning technologies, go through a digital geometry processing pipeline to prepare them for end applications. Processing operations include denoising and smoothing, resampling and mesh optimization, registration, parameterization, compression and more. These principles are employed from discrete differential geometry, variational optimization and differential shape representations for a wide variety of geometry processing tasks.

This seminar will focus on state-of-the-art problems, algorithms and systems in the realm of geometry processing, shape modeling and interactive techniques. Each student is expected to present one paper in class. Presentations should include

1.      Introduction

2.      Survey of previous work

3.      Technical details

4.      Results evaluation

Students are expected to explore the background literature and good familiarization with the topic.
