Modeling

One of the major bottlenecks in the field of computer graphics is the one of content creation, particularly the creation of high-quality 3D geometric models. These models are a demand in many industries, such as entertainment, computer-aided design, urban planning, the fabrication of physical objects, as well as research areas like medical or scientific visualizations and simulations. While rendering - the classical field of computer graphics - has reached very high standards in the recent two decades, the issue of the creation of appropriate digital models is a difficult problem that hardly keeps pace with current demands. Indeed, it is a complex creative process that involves both artistic and technical skills. To make this process easier, our goal in this research area is to find new methods and algorithms that facilitate creation, representation, analysis and processing of 3D models.
