CAD / CAM / CAE

Computer Aided Design, Manufacture and Engineering all rely on visual computing techniques such as computer graphics rendering and geometry processing.
Projects
-
3D feature extraction and matching
Feature extraction and matching is a traditional method for shape matching and analysis.
-
Advanced Shape from Shading Methods
This project intends to explore the combination of new techniques from related research areas and state-of-the-art SFS algorithms to improve robustness and feature preservation in shape recovery from single but sophisticated real-world image.
-
Efficient 3D shape matching and retrieval
This project attempts to develop efficient techniques for the representation and matching of 3D shapes.
-
Noise removal and image enhancement
The captured either 2D or 3D data are usually unavoidably corrupted by imaging noise.
-
Point Based Modelling and Simulation - Sampling
A low-discrepancy, blue-noise point set represents a continuous geometric object well, minimising discretisation artefacts.
-
Registration of 3D Point Clouds and Meshes: A Survey from Rigid to Non-Rigid
3D surface registration is fundamental to many compute graphics, vision and medical applications.
-
Relief Computation using Shape-from-Shading
This project explores how to create bas-reliefs from 2D face photographs.
-
Robust and Sensitive Methods for Non-rigid and Partial 3D Model Retrieval
3D models have a broad range of applications in many different areas such as engineering, biology, chemistry, medicine, entertainment and cultural heritage.
-
Saliency detection for 3D surface reconstruction, segmentation and simplification
While the laser scanning systems usually have limited field of view, the captured data from a single viewpoint can only cover a part of the area of interest.
