Advanced Topics in Computer Science:
Geometric Modeling and Analysis

Spring 2011


General Information:

Time: Wednesdays 1:30-3:50PM
Place: Computer Science 401
Instructor: Thomas Funkhouser

This course will survey recent research related to geometric analysis of 3D shapes. Discussions will focus on algorithms for surface correspondence, structure extraction, object recognition, content-aware processing, etc. The course will operate as a graduate-level reading class. So, coursework will include weekly discussion of papers and a final course project. During our discussions, we will focus not only on the technical contributions of past work, but also the mechanics of writing papers and giving talks, and we will also build a shared repository of related information (e.g., through this bib file). All are welcome (even if you don't take the course for credit).
