| | | | |
Course Topics
Recent advances in 3D digital geometry processing have created a
plenitude of novel concepts for the mathematical representation and
interactive manipulation of geometric models. This course covers some
of the latest developments in geometric modeling and surface
representations. Topics include surface modeling based on triangle
meshes, mesh generation, subdivision schemes, mesh fairing and
simplification, multiresolution methods, compression, and interactive shape editing.
Course Objectives
After attending this course, you should be able to:
- define and relate the basic concepts, tools, and algorithms in geometric modeling and digital surface processing
-
critically
analyze and assess current research on surface representations and
geometric modeling with the intent to apply the proposed methods in
your own work.
- implement individual components of a geometric modeling system
Course Work
Programming exercices will help you translate theoretical concepts to practical applications.
A code framework will be provided that allows you to experiment with various algorithms without having to bother about software infrastructure.
There will be 6-7 modest programming assignments, which may be performed in teams of two students.
There will be no final exam.
Requirements
Introduction to Computer Graphics, experience with C++ programming. Some background in geometry or
computational geometry is helpful, but not necessary.
