Abstract

The talk will present some recent work done in the newly founded group on statistical techniques in geometry processing. Ongoing work in the group mostly focuses on correspondence problems. The talk will address two lines of work, both involving correspondence problems: The first deals with reconstructing deformable models from sparse 3D scans. The main problem here is how to assemble a deformable model knowing only a sparse, noisy and incomplete sample of surface points. This question is of high practical relevance for upcoming dynamic 3D scanning techniques with application in movie making and special effects. The second line of work deals with symmetry detection, i.e. finding corresponding parts within one and the same object. The talk will describe examine some problems that have to be addressed and propose different techniques for a solution. As a practical application, the problem of repairing range scans automatically using symmetry information is considered.
