Geometric shapes are ubiquitous in everyday life, ranging form rigid objects (tables, chairs, handicrafts) to deformable creatures (human, animals). The ability to reconstruct, generate and analyse geometric shapes is gaining importance and receiving increasing interest, both in academia and industry. In this practical course, we will study and solve challenging real-world problems in the area of 3D/4D shape reconstruction and analysis. Topics will include shape matching and correspondences, registration, recent metric spaces, reconstruction and generation. We will explore both classical geometry-bases methods and learning-based approaches.

The course will start with lectures and assignments to get familiar with the different topics. After that, you will work on a research oriented project in team (max. 2 persons). To review the progress and resolve open issue, you will meet the supervisors on a regular basis (max. bi-weekly). At the end of the practical course, you will be familiar with the basis concepts and tools in geometrical shape reconstruction and analysis, and gain hands-on experience through a research project, which may be extended to a publication.
