CS 149 - Field Project in Computer Graphics

The Stanford Computer Graphics laboratory has embarked on a multi-year project to create high-quality three-dimensional computer models of the sculptures of Michelangelo using laser scanning technology. As part of this project, Professor Marc Levoy and his graduate students will spend (did spend, it's over) the 1998-99 academic year at the Stanford Center in Florence and will (did) conduct scanning sessions in the principal museums of Italy. This course provides(ed) a formal mechanism for other students to join the project for 3-6 months to help with the programming, field work, and background library research.

Units:: 1-3
Prerequisites:: Enrollment in the Stanford Overseas Studies program in Florence for 1998-99 and permission of the instructor. Programming and graphics experience preferred but not essential. OSP also requires some knowledge of Italian. Preference will be given to undergraduates.
Quarter (in 1998-9):: Autumn, 1998 and Winter, 1999 in Florence, Italy
Instructor:: Marc Levoy

Undergraduates may use this course as one of their three CS electives.

For more information about this project, see our web page describing The Digital Michelangelo Project. For information about a seminar course that Professor Levoy will be teaching (did teach) in Florence during the Winter, 1999 quarter, see CS 99D - The Science of Art.

CS 348C - Computer Graphics: Animation Techniques

(cross listed as EE 481C) Overview of computer animation techniques. Topics include traditional principles of animation, physical simulation, procedural methods, and motion capture based animation. Course focuses on computer science aspects of animation. Ranges from basics such as kinematic and dynamic modeling techniques to exploration of current research topics such as motion re-targeting, learning movements and behaviors, and video based modeling and animation. Hands-on animation experience through class projects.

Units:: 4
Prerequisite:: CS 248 or consent of instructor
Quarter (in 2002-2003):: Spring, Tue/Thu, 11:00-12:15
Time:: TBA
Instructor:: Chris Bregler
Televised?: No

CS 340 (formerly CS 339) - Level Set Methods

An introduction to modeling surfaces with implicit functions. This course focuses on the mathematical and computational techniques required to treat dynamic implicit surfaces. Level Set Methods can be used for a variety of applications including multiphase flow (e.g. bubbles and drops), image processing, computer vision and graphics.

Units:: 3.
Prerequisite:: Open to all students.
Quarter (in 2003-2004):: not offered
