Eugene Zhang Assistant Professor School of EECS Oregon State University Shape Understanding for Computer Graphics Many areas within Comptuer Graphics make use of objects that have a rigid or deformable shape. Such areas include rendering, geometric modeling, and computer animation. Shape analysis allows us to better understand the geometric structures in an object, which often leads to more efficient and robust algorithms. In this talk, I will demonstrate the importance of shape analysis and understanding with three graphics applications: mesh simplification, surface parameterization, and pen-and-ink illustration of shapes. Biography Dr. Zhang is currently an Assistant Professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Geoergia Institute of Technolgoy in 2004. His areas of research interests include: computer graphics, scientific visualization, geometric modeling, computational topology, and non-photorealistic rendering. _______________________________________________ Colloquium mailing list [email protected] https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/colloquium
