| Description |
A unified approach to various fields such as graphics, visualization,
computer-aided geometric design, biomedical imaging, vision, and virtual
environment. The course will explore select research topics centered
on physics-based modeling methodology and associated computational
methods for theoretical and practical problems in widespread areas
of visual computing. The emphasis will be on: geometric and solid
modeling, geometric design techniques, wavelets and multi-resolution
analysis, deformable models based on mathematical physics, variational
analysis, optimization methods, numerical simulation with finite-difference
and finite-element algorithms, differential equations for initial-value
and boundary-value problems, force-driven interaction with constraints,
dynamic sculpting system, and a large variety of applications for
visual computing. |
