Seminar Computer Graphics

Hans-Peter Seidel, Michael Goesele, and Researchers from AG4

Summer Semester 2003

This seminar will discuss topics related to current research areas in computer graphics. Depending on availability and content, the seminar will also include accepted paper of upcoming international conferences.

Time and Place:

• The regular meetings of the seminar will be held Tuesday at 2 pm c.t. (i.e. 2:15 pm) in Room 019 (ground floor) at the MPI. Please refer to the schedule below for meeting dates.

• Please note: Since the summer term 2003 there are new regulations concerning the registration for courses (bachelor and master degrees in computer science):

  During the first four weeks while the university is in session the students may freely register and unregister for courses. After that period every registration is binding. Students who registered for a course are obliged to attend to the lecture as well as the final exam.

• Students participating in the course are therefore required to attend all meetings and to present their topic unless they unregister on time.

Instructors:

• Hans-Peter Seidel, Michael Goesele, and Researchers from AG4

Format:

• Each topic will be presented in a 30-45 minutes talk followed by a discussion.
• Speakers are expected to prepare a 5-10 page handout highlighting the main aspects of the paper(s). Please let your adviser have a look at your handout at least one week before the talk.

Possible Follow-Ups

• As the seminar covers current research topics in computer graphics, a follow-up (FoPra, thesis) in an related area is possible.
