Description:
      With recent developments in 3D modeling software and advances in acquisition techniques for 3D geometry, the shape of a large numbers of objects has been digitized. Existing datasets include millions of real-world every day objects, cultural heritage artifacts, buildings, as well as medical, scientific, and engineering models. In this course we will discuss (1) computational tools for organizing 3D model collections, (2) algorithms for understanding their semantic properties and relations, and (3) applications in graphics, vision, and other areas. In particular, some of the topics that will be covered in this class include: reconstruction and recognition of 3D data, shape retrieval, segmentation and matching, probabilistic and grammar models for objects and scenes, and data-driven 3D vision. We will also cover machine learning and optimization techniques that are widely used in data-driven shape analysis.

Prerequisites:
      Background assumed includes basic material in computer graphics, linear algebra, and optimization.

Grading (tentative):
      Homeworks (3 assignments) 60%
      Final Project 40%
