The student will undertake a substantial independent research project under the supervision of a faculty member, potentially leading to the notation "Departmental Honors with Thesis" on the final transcript. Students are expected to enroll in both semesters of this course during their senior year. Project proposals must be submitted and accepted in the preceding spring semester (junior year) before registration. Students will present their work publically before April 1st of senior year. They will also submit a first draft of their project report (thesis document) at that time. Faculty will meet to decide if the thesis will be accepted for honors.

The course will be decomposed into three separate parts: (1) reconstruction of models using computational-geometry-based techniques, (2) reconstruction of models using surface fitting approaches, and (3) reconstruction of models using implicit function fitting. Students will be expected to present two or three papers throughout the semester and will also need to complete two projects. The first project be an implementation project, focused on exposing students to some of the technical challenges of reconstruction by having them implement an existing method. The second project will be a research project, motivating students to think about new methods for surface reconstruction. [Applications or Analysis] Course added 06/24/05
