Seminar WS2006/2007: Current Research Topics in Computer Graphics
Computer Graphics is a highly active research field combining aspects of several areas of practical as well as theoretical Computer Science: For example, compact data structures and efficient algorithms are required for real-time renderings and simulations. The generation of photo-realistic images and visualizations is often derived from physical processes observed in the real world. On the other hand, the area of Geometric Modeling is founded on classical results of mathematics. Hence, Computer Graphics is one of the most inter-disciplinary research fields in Computer Science.
The conferences with the strongest impact on the graphics world are SIGGRAPH and Eurographics. In this seminar we will discuss results presented recently at those conferences with a focus on the most interesting and innovative ideas. Participating students have the chance to get familiar with state-of-the-art solutions to problems in Computer Graphics, Modeling and Visualization and will get an insight into the involved techniques.

Latex Template
As noted in the introductory meeting, the use of LaTeX and our LaTeX template is mandatory. On Linux, please perform the following steps:
- Download the archive from here: reports.tar.gz
- Unpack the archive with "tar xzf reports.tar.gz"
- Enter the directory: cd reports
- Generate the file reports.pdf by running the script "doit"
The newly generated file contains a description of the template and how to use it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!
Furthermore, there are two introductions to LaTeX online, one in German and one in English.
Slide Templates
There are slide templates available for PowerPoint and OpenOffice. If you prefer to use your own template that's also ok. In our seminar room we have a computer with PowerPoint and OpenOffice installed, but you can also bring your own laptop if you like.
