Some self-test questions about today's paper:
What
information, in addition to the distance to the reflecting surface
point do Curless and Levoy take into account when the build the best
possible model of the scanned surface?
How do they make use of the statistical uncertainties of the distance estimation process?
What is the key idea to filling in missing patches in the surface that were never analyzed by the scanner?
Check your answers against the material presented in the presentation.
Paper Presentation by: Yasuhide Okamoto
RS96: Curless and Levoy: "A Volumetric Method for
Building Complex Models"

and a minimalist approach inspired by teams R and S.
Final Project Presentations:
Monday, December 12, 4pm - 6pm:
- YOUNGWOOK KWON: "Tool-path Design"
- FREDERICK DOERING: "Dissection Puzzles"
- HUYSON LAM: "Coral Generator"
- JEREMY WILLIAMS and SURYAVEER LODHA: "Plant Generator"
- BRANDON WANG and ANDREW LEE: "Knot Generator"
Wednesday, December 14, 4pm - 6pm:
- YASUHIDE OKAMOTO: "Escher Planetoids"
- KAWALDEEP GREWAL: "Differential Gear"
- JESSI JIN and ERIC LU: "Planetary Gear"
- JONATHAN KO and AYDEN YE: "A-mazing Cube"
- TOBY MITCHELL and PARDEEP KUMAR: "Spiral Staircase"
This should be a short (10 or 15 minutes for project teams of 1 or 2 students, respectively), formal, audio-visual presentation,
-- like for a "short paper" talk at a major conference.
The goal is to leave a lasting positive impression with your sponsors, peers, or teacher.
These may be key elements of your presentation:
- Remind us what the goal was of the project.
- Explain the approach that you were taking.
- Give an example or two of technical challenges that you were facing -- and how you overcame them.
- Show off your "coolest" result (in the best possible light): demonstrate hardware and/or computer simulations.
- Review to what degree you were able to deliver on the original promises.
- Evaluate what lesson(s) (of interest to others) you have learned in this project.
- Conclude with a positve statement why this was a "good" project.
Some more hints for a good project presentation ...
Final Project Reports -- Due Thursday, December 15, before midnight
These should be formal reports about 4 to 6 pages in lenght,
electronically submitted in either MS-Word or in PDF format.
These reports should explain to an audience that was not part of CS285
what problem you addressed and what you have achieved.
Please address the same issues as in the list above for your oral presentation.
Inclusion of several pictures is highly encouraged.
Ongoing Assignments: Work on your projects!
