CSE291, Winter 2008: Topics in Computer Science
3D Geometry Processing
This is a graduate level class focusing on geometry processing for computer graphics. Applications of the material covered in this class range from multimedia and entertainment to bio-medical computing, reverse engineering and computer aided design. We will discuss topics including:
- Surface representations, such as meshes, implicit surfaces, parametric surfaces
- Surface reconstruction from sample points
- Surface smoothing, denoising, simplification
- Surface parameterization
- Shape matching, registration, warping, symmetry
The class will offer lectures by the instructor on background material, and student presentations on recent research papers.
The class can be taken for two or four credits. Two credits are granted for active class participation, and two more credits can be obtained for contributing a class project. Active class participation includes the presentation of a research paper in one of the class sessions.
Prerequisites
- CSE167, or the consent of the instructor.
