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, ICCV, ECCV, etc. The following topics will be covered (tentative):

Machine Learning Based 3D Graphics and Vision
Machine Learning Based 3D Geometry
Machine Learning Based 3D Visualization
Machine Learning Based 3D Medicine
3D Data Driven Modeling
3D Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Recommended Materials:

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