Competence Certificate

Competence Goal
Students of this course will have a basic understanding about discrete surface representations and are able to handle basic geometry processing problems for shape design.
Prerequisites
See partial achievement.
Content
Thanks to various imaging techniques, discrete, i.e. piecewise constant or linear, representations of surfaces and solids are commonly used to represent surfaces and solids alongside established representations of higher degree and smoothness.
In this course, methods are presented (1) to represent surfaces by point clouds, octrees, hierarchical sphere clouds, triangle fans, Delaunay meshes, and meshes of planar quadrilaterals, (2) methods to obtain triangle meshes from point clouds and distance functions, (3) to simplify or compress meshes, (4) to smooth meshes and remove noise, (5) to segment meshes according to different criteria, (6) to subdivide and refine meshes, (7) to complete shape by neuronal nets, (8) to animate and deform meshes, and others.
