The Faculty of Informatics is pleased to announce a seminar given by Wenping Wang
DATE: Monday, May 19th 2014
PLACE: USI Lugano Campus, room SI-008, Informatics building (Via G. Buffi 13)
TIME: 15.30
ABSTRACT:
Centroidal Voronoi Tessellation (CVT) is a versatile geometric structure that finds many applications in geometric optimization, and therefore is widely used in science and engineering. I will introduce the basic concepts and properties of CVT, and discuss its efficient computation and its applications in geometric computing, including mesh generation, surface mosaicing and surface modeling.
