"Open challenges in shape and animation processing"

Abstract:

I will present an overview of my recent research activities (with collaborators and students) and open challenges in shape and animation processing.

These activities include:

• SOT: Compact representation of tetrahedral meshes
• J-splines: C^4 subdivision curves, surfaces, and animation
• SAM: Steady interpolating affine motion
• OCTOR: Exceptions in steady patterns
• Pearling: Realtime segmentation of tubular structures in images and 3D medical scans
• Surgem:  Heart surgery planning and optimization based on blood flow simulation
• APL: Aquatic Propulsion Lab, tools for designing and simulating swimming strategies
• Ball map: Tangent-ball correspondence and compatibility between pairs of shapes
• Ball-morph: Interpolation and  applications to entertainment and medical surface reconstruction

Bio:

Jaroslaw (Jarek) Rossignac is a Full Professor in the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. His research

focuses on the design, representation, simplification, compression, analysis and visualization of highly complex 3D

shapes, structures, and animations. Before joining Georgia Tech in 1996 as the Director of the GVU Center, he was

Senior Manager and Visualization Strategist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. He holds a Ph.D. in E.E. from the

University of Rochester, a Diplôme d'Ingénieur from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Électricité et de Mécanique

(ENSEM), and a Maîtrise in M.E. from the University of Nancy, France. He authored 21 patents and over 100

peer-reviewed articles for which he received 23 Awards. He created the ACM Solid Modeling Symposia series and the Solid

Modelling Association (SMA); chaired 25 conferences and program committees; delivered about 30 Distinguished or

Invited Lectures and Keynotes; and served on the Editorial Boards of 7 journals and on 62 Technical Program Committees.

He is a Fellow of the Eurographics Association.
