Are you in your final year of your Master studies at a Swedish university? Is your subject computer science, applied mathematics, engineering physics, or similar? We are looking for driven and open-minded students with a strong interest in mathematics, physics, numerical analysis, or algorithm development and with experience in C++ or Java programming.
Project: Smoothness Properties of Discrete Surfaces
The output of many 3D scanning procedures, such as a computed tomography (CT) scan, is a discrete
surface, described by a triangulation. Depending on what software is used to produce the surface, it may
contain noise and geometrical defects. Efficient finite element computations on geometries defined by
such surfaces require automated geometrical analysis and processing.
This project aims at investigating and evaluating various smoothness or roughness measures for such
triangulated surfaces. This involves literature studies and practical experiments by implementing and
testing the measures.
Once a measure of smoothness is implemented, a next step is to try to use it to make surfaces
smoother. This kind of optimization has to balance smoothness with the requirement of
preserving the shape and significant details.
There are also other related aspects. Given a discrete surface, there are ways of approximating curvature
and derivatives (though there is certainly not a unique way to do this). The project could also include an
investigation of how improved smoothness of the triangulation relates to such calculations.
