Geometry Seminar

Organized by Leonidas J. Guibas

Meets every Wednesday from 12:30 to 2:00 in Gates 392

Geometry Seminar (Winter 97-98)

The geometry seminar this quarter will focus on visibility problems, with emphasis on the interaction between visibility and motion. We will cover a number of papers from the geometry, graphics, robotics and vision communities dealing with representations of visibility information, depth orderings and occluder selection, `next-best-view' problems, `art-gallery' problems, and motion planning with visibility as the goal and/or tool.

Students in the seminar will be expected to be active participants and volunteer to present a paper at some point.
