Course Description and Goals:

The main goal of the course is to let students to investigate and present the advanced and latest research work and techniques in 3D computer graphics, geometric processing, human-computer interaction, and visualization. All the course topics and materials are selected from most recently premier journal and conference papers in computer graphics, visualization, and computer vision fields, such as ACM TOG, IEEE TVCG, IEEE TPAMI, SIGGRAPH, IEEE Visualization, IEEE VR, CVPR, etc. The following topics will be covered (tentative):

Data Driven Modeling
3D Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
3D Object Recognition and Detection
3D Shape Semantics
3D Matching and Alignment
3D Graphics and Vision

Recommended Materials:

All the course topics and materials are selected from top journals and conferences in computer graphics and visualization fields, such as ACM TOG, IEEE TVCG, SIGGRAPH, IEEE Visualization, IEEE VR, CVPR, etc.
