29: Beyond Blobs: Recent Advances in Implicit Surfaces
Monday, Full Day
8:30 am – 5:15 pm
Room 206
CAL/Room 214CD
Recent advances in implicit surfaces for shape modeling,
computer vision, and medical visualization, and how implicit
surface methods can represent polygonal objects, sharp
features, volumetric medical data, noisy computer-vision
data, and shape morphing. Tools include variational methods,
level sets, and Morse theory, as well as a new freely
available implicit surfaces library that can be used to
implement these techniques.
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of 3D computer graphics and some understanding
of elementary linear algebra. Familiarity with basic implicit
surface techniques is useful, but not required.
Topics
Generating implicit surfaces that interpolate 3D point
data, using implicit surfaces in shape transformation,
surface reconstruction from computer-vision data, medical
applications, modern level sets and digital Morse theory,
and a library of software tools for interactive modeling
with implicit surfaces.
