Course Description and Goals:
The main focus of the course is to investigate various representations of 3D shapes and objects, as well as their widespread applications in computer graphics and visualization fields. For instance, "how can we build a model from acquired 3D data (i.e., scanned data, medical images, unorganized sets of polygons, voxels, etc.)?" and "how can we use the model for reconstruction, simplification, recognition of 3D objects?" Potential applications for the proposed methods include computer-aided design, medical imaging, social networks, entertainment, and education. The goal of this course is to provide graduate students who are interested in graphics and visualization a comprehensive knowledge on geometric concepts and algorithms via both lectures and class discussions. The following topics will be covered:

Prerequisites: This is a graduate-level course. But undergraduate students would still be able to take this course. Some basic background in linear algebra and programming (CSC 2000 or equivalent) is assumed. Knowledge about computer graphics (CSC 5870) and geometry will be helpful.
Course & Instructor Policies:
(1) Copying source code from another student in this class or obtaining a solution from some other source will lead to an automatic failure for this course and to a disciplinary action. In this case, you may be given a score of 0 for the assignment or project in question (and the other party will get a failure).
(2) No late submission for assignment will be accepted.
(3) Grades will be posted on the blackboard.
(4) If there is any special case, please inform the instructor in advance.
