Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization: PhD position

Institute of Computer Graphics and Knowledge Visualization,

Graz University of Technology

Applications are invited for a PhD position

The position is available in the field of geometric processing at the Institute of Computer Graphics and

Knowledge Visualization at TU Graz (see http://www.cgv.tugraz.at for details of the group). The position

is for three years and includes a one-year exchange with the Nanyang Technical University in Singapore.

Description of the project:

The goal of the project is to make it easier to produce good coarse 3D meshes from densely scanned

data.

We have methods for finding curvatures and features in a point cloud or triangle mesh and, based on

those, developed a software tool which aids the manual generation of good subdivision control meshes

from scan data.

You will investigate methods to automatically reduce a point cloud or triangle mesh to a good coarse

subdivision base mesh. A good subdivision mesh is not only accurate and coarse but also regular. The

method for finding high quality quadrilateral representations should be general and applicable to complex

meshes of arbitrary topology.

Requirements:

We are seeking a highly motivated student interested in the field of Computer Aided Geometric Design

and Geometry Processing. The applicant ideally has a good understanding of geometry modeling and

analysis. Due to the computational nature of the project, programming skills are required.

The selected candidate is expected to join the team as soon as possible.
