Surface Representations and Geometric Modeling
Last Updated: 2026-02-05 15:29:32
Abstract
This course covers some of the latest developments in geometric modeling and surface representations. Topics include surface modeling based on triangle meshes, mesh generation, subdivision schemes, mesh fairing and simplification, multiresolution methods, and interactive shape editing.
Objective
Introduction to geometric modeling and digital surface processing. The exercises will complement the course material with implementations of the main processing algorithms.
Content
Recent advances in 3D digital geometry processing have created a plenitude of novel concepts for the mathematical representation and interactive manipulation of geometric models. This course covers some of the latest developments in geometric modeling and surface representations. Topics include surface modeling based on triangle meshes, mesh generation, subdivision schemes, mesh fairing and simplification, multiresolution methods, and interactive shape editing.
