33: New Directions in Shape
Representations
Monday, Full Day, 8:30 am - 5 pm
Room 502A
Several
recently developed shape representations go beyond conventional
surface and volume representations, and offer advantages
for compression, transmission, editing, rendering, and
complex shapes. In this course, some of the world's leading
computer graphics researchers summarize the state of the
art in shape representations and provide detailed information,
including pseudo-code, on how to implement the various
techniques. The course includes hands-on experience with
various applications, including face modeling, sculpting,
and 3D scanning of real-life objects.
Prerequisites
Familiarity with advanced 3D graphics techniques.
Topics
Displaced subdivision surfaces. Digital geometry processing
with semi-regular meshes. Surface elements as rendering
primitives. Wavelets as volume primitives. Adaptively
sampled distance fields. Image-based representations.
The course concludes with a panel on the future of alternative
shape representations followed by an open discussion with
the audience.
