As a new addition to the computer graphics track in 2018, the first day of Graphics Interface will feature an afternoon of short courses given by two Canadian graphics faculty members.
libigl: Prototyping Geometry Processing Research in C++
Summary: Modern geometry processsing algorithms depend on an ever-growing toolbox of fundamental sub-routines and data structures. Libigl is a C++ library of geometry processing algorithms designed for and by researchers. In this course, we will introduce libigl’s functional, minimal overhead API via live, hands-on coding examples.
Presenter: Alec Jacobson, University of Toronto
Modern Techniques and Applications for Real-Time Non-Rigid Registration
Summary: The course covers the foundations of registration algorithms by introducing their mathematical foundations and laying out practical tools for the design of real-time computer graphics/vision systems that jointly leverage color and depth sensor data, as well as pre-processed annotated datasets.
Presenter: Andrea Tagliasacchi, University of Victoria
