This course explores some of the most important algorithms for processing polygonal meshes (mainly triangular meshes). The main topics covered will include the construction of meshes from real objects, the filtering of geometric and topological noise, the parametrization of meshes, their deformation and edition, and their compression.

Metodologia docent

The course will consist in lectures on the theoretical foundations of GP, which will include discussions of problems and applications. There will also be lab sessions where the students will tackle specific problems assigned to them, and will hand in working programs addressing these problems.

Mètode d'avaluació

The students will be marked for their attendance and participation in class (including the presentation of exercise solutions, their discussion, and exercises turned in for grading), yielding a mark "Class".

Another grade will stem from the student's implementations of selected algorithms (including occasionally their presentation of their solution in a laboratory class), yielding a mark "Lab".

Finally, students will receive a third mark based on their performance in the final exam, yielding "Exam".

The final grade for the course will be computed as

Final Grade = 0.3 Class + 0.3 Lab + 0.4 Exam.

Capacitats prèvies

Background material will be introduced or reviewed as necessary along the course, but a general knowledge of linear algebra, rudiments of differential geometry, and optimization, are desirable. Specifically, notions of vector spaces, transformations, changes of bases, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, SVD, and elements of differential geometry of curves and surfaces are desirable to maximize the benefit of taking this course.
Completing, for instance, GTCG should provide enough background.
