Course Description and Goals:
The main focus of the course is to introduce theoretic and computational background of modeling in 3D computer graphics, geometric processing, and visualization, specifically, how to represent, model, and analyze 3D models and scenes. For instance, "how can we build a high-quality model from acquired large-scale 3D dataset in a complex scenario (i.e., scanned data, medical images, unorganized sets of polygons, voxels, etc.)?" and "how can we use the 3D model for reconstruction, simulation, and animation?" The goal of this course is after learning basic computer graphics programming, knowledge, and geometry concepts, students will get to the latest and most popular 3D data representation schemes and techniques; and know how to effectively use them in different graphics, computer-aided design, simulation, or animation applications. 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 Canvas.
(4) If there is any special case, please inform the instructor in advance.
