Project Activities

The project includes the following main activities:

• To apply the PDE method to a number of case studies in order to demonstrate that it can parameterise realistic geometries capable of modelling complex 3D geometry. We will demonstrate three substantial examples.
• To devise efficient algorithms in order to develop a PDE-based shape parameterisation for dense surface correspondences between given sources of animation models and target models. We will measure the performance of each algorithm and its scalability.
• To devise efficient algorithms in order to develop a PDE-based shape parameterisation for transferring between existing source animation models and target models. We will measure the performance of each algorithm and its scalability.
• To develop a demonstration software environment to enable a designer, knowing nothing about the underlying algorithms, to use the methodology for realistic modelling and animation. We will deliver the software and involve a designer to deliver one of our substantial examples.
  

There are a number of possible areas of exciting research which stem from this work. Interested visiting scholars and potential postgraduate (MPhil and PhD) students are welcome to contact Dr Ugail for further discussion.
