SMRI Seminar: ’Optimization for Spatial Design Problems’ Hung Phan (University of Massachusetts, Lowell) Date and time: Thursday 16 May, 13:00-14:00 AEST Location: SMRI Seminar Room, A12-03-301 ***NOTE NEW LOCATION*** Abstract: In computer graphic applications or design problems, a three dimensional object is often represented by a triangular mesh. In many instances, individual or groups of triangles in such representation need to satisfy spatial constraints that are imposed either by observation from the real world, or by concrete design specifications of the object. In this talk, we model this design problem as a convex optimization problem, then apply splitting algorithms to find optimal solutions. ---- Please join us after the seminar for SMRI afternoon tea, 2:00-2:45pm every Thursday on the SMRI Terrace (accessed through A14-04-L4.36) ---- Current and past seminar info (including recordings) can be found on the seminars webpage.
