Computer Graphics Seminar: Spring 2003 (original) (raw)
CS 718
Mondays, 3:30 - 4:30 pm
5126 Upson Hall
Last semester we had a good showing of students and staff talking about their research. This semester we are broadening the scope a little and talking about topics that are interesting to Computer Graphics researchers. Presentations could include:
- Your research
- Somebody else's research (a seminal paper in CG, and the work it has sparked off)
- Topics relevant to CG. Examples: important mathematical techniques relevant to CG (wavelets, spherical harmonics, Monte Carlo, ...)
- State of the art in X, where X could be interactive rendering, animation, acquisition hardware, surface modeling, hardware architecture, etc.

Schedule for Fall 2002
The seminar's primary goal is to give everyone in the PCG and CS department who's interested in graphics a chance to learn about what others are working on and thinking about. The basic format is work-in-progress talks by graduate students, faculty, and research staff, with some presentations of papers from the literature mixed in.
