Objectives
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 representations, modeling and processing.
Topics include:

• Surface modeling based on triangle meshes
• Mesh generation
• Mesh fairing and simplification
• Parameterization and remeshing
• Subdivision schemes
• Mesh editing and deformation

Programming exercises will help translate theoretical concepts to practical applications.
A code framework will be provided that allows to experiment with various algorithms without having to bother about software infrastructure.
There will be 5 modest programming assignments, and no final exam.

Prerequisites
Introduction to Computer Graphics, experience with C++ programming.
Some background in geometry or computational geometry is helpful, but not necessary.
