Hi, I would like to bring your attention about a seminar course that I am offering this Fall: Geometric Processing - CS 795 004 Quote from Polygon Mesh Processing: "Geometry processing, or mesh processing is to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, reconstruction, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry processing algorithms already cover a wide range of areas from multimedia, entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to biomedical computing, reverse engineering, and scientific computing." In this class, we will be reading research papers related to the following topics * Mesh Smoothing, Simplification, Deformation * Mesh Reconstruction, Repair, Registration * Mesh Decomposition/Meshing * Mesh Boolean operations * Continuous collision detection * penetration depth estimation * Swept volume, offset, Minkowski sum More information can be found here: http://cs.gmu.edu/~jmlien/teaching/cs795-GP/ This class was last offered in Spring 2011 and the final projects of students in the class were published in SIAM Conference on Geometric and Physical Modeling, a top conference on Computer Aided Design. Please let me know if you have questions.
