Past Projects

A Point-cloud Normal Surface Estimation Methods Comparison

Explore and compare different methods to estimate surface normals of an unstructured 3D point-cloud.

3D Point Cloud VR viewer

Develop a VR viewer for 3D scenes represented by point clouds obtained from scanners and implement walk-through navigation interactively in this environment with the VR input devices.

Introducing Wellbeing to IfI

To improve the work-life balance at IfI, we're aiming to implement a system to support a healthy work-environment.

Biodiversity Visualization in the Course of Time

In the last 4.5 billion years, earth has undergone massive changes. In this project, you will implement an interactive visualization which brings biodiversity in context of earth's geological history.

Efficient Implementation of Edge Collapse and Vertex Split

One of the most common simplification algorithms for 3D models is edge collapsing. In this work, you will implement a reversible version of this algorithm.

Interactive Real-Time Volume Rendering in VR

To understand volumetric data sets, visualization is crucial. VR offers a range of interesting interaction methods to analyze your data.

Implementing features into an open source production renderer

Spatial Music Visualization using Localized Manifold Harmonics

The goal of this work is to come up with a new real-time music visualization algorithm, working on 3D meshes.

Vector-based 3D Building Visualization and Generalization

In this project, you will implement a stylized rendering algorithm for 3D buildings that can be used in 3D maps and virtual cities.

Large Scale Vegetation Rendering

Realistic rendering of a large number of trees based on an accurate vegetation dataset improves the experience of working with 3D maps.

Implementing Interaction Techniques for Scientific Data Visualizations in VR

Interaction in virtual reality is new and its mechanics are not fully tested. In this project different interaction techniques for scientific visualization purposes will be implemented.

Removing Shadows from the Aerial Optical Images

The images of earth taken by satellites always contain shadows which restricts their usage. The goal of this project is to implement an algorithm to remove the shadows given the elevation model, etc.

Dithering via Cut-And-Project

You will develop a new method for creating two-toned images from grayscale input images, which still keep the illusion of different gray scales.
