Marco Tarini -- Research

My main research interests are in the area of Computer Graphics and specifically:

• Mesh Modelling and Geometry Processing
• Surface representations
• Remeshing
• Textures
• Parameterization
• Direction fields
• Real Time rendering
• Remeshing
• Parameterization
• Direction fields

• Video games
• Scientific Visualization
• Cultural heritage Applications

A few Recent Research Projects: A novel, convenient representation of Texture Coordinates Collaborative Digital Sculpting Texture mapping for REAL WORLD objects Robust Hexahedral mesh extraction Frame Fields, a generalization of Cross Fields Better lighting over Skinned models Seamless cylindrical UV mappings Simple domain for parameterizations Parameterizations of range maps Isometric mesh parameterization via Abstract Domains Quad-mesh semplification A new browser for large image datasets PinchMaps - textures with costumizable discontinuities PolycubeMaps - seamless texturing

Current PhD students: Paolo Brivio (graduation: Dec 2011) - "Very Large, Hybrid (3D models + photos) datasets"

Core Developer of Open-Source projects: MeshLab - a tool to process and edit 3D polygonal meshes QuteMol - molecular visualization VCG library - a C++ templated library for 3D mesh processing Photocloud - a browser/navigator of large mixed 2D/3D datasets
