Geometric Data Processing

Geometric data processing is concerned with the representation, analysis, manipulation, and optimization of digital shapes. Thanks to the advances in 3D acquisition and manufacturing technologies (like 3D-Scanning and 3D-printing), the usage of geometric data is continuously increasing and an efficient processing of digital shapes plays an important role for a variety of applications in areas such as computer graphics, computer-aided design and engineering, medical imaging and surgery planning, architecture, and entertainment. In this course, we will study concepts and algorithms for creating, analyzing, editing and optimizing digital geometric shapes.
