Max Planck Institute (MPII)The Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik (MPII) is devoted to basic research in computer science, and in particular to the study of complex computer systems. It is part of the computer science infrastructure in Germany that includes the Max Planck Institute (MPII), the German Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), the Dagstuhl International Conference and Research Center for Computer Science, and the Computer Science Department at the University of Saarbrücken (all conveniently located within direct reach of each other). MPII has a strong international orientation and it actively promotes joint research with international teams.A major focus within the Computer Graphics Group is on geometric modelling, and in particular on multiresolution modelling, level-of-detail, mesh reduction, and the processing of complex geometric data sets. In this context, effective and efficient methods for the generation, transmission, and modification of complex polygonal objects (with and without subdivision connectivity) have been developed during recent years. The combination of mathematical and computer science expertise within the group enables the effective solution of problems from the level of theoretic foundations down to software implementation issues. The close connections to CAD and automotive companies provides input and (early) feedback from practitioners which is necessary in order to adapt the research activities to realistic application scenarios.
