Projects Proposed Projects

All the projects given in our lab require some background in graphics and/or geometry.

To complete a project in the CGGC lab you will need to submit the following:

1. A written report describing your project, the challenges you encountered and the way you solved them.
2. A user guide, explaining how to use your system.
3. A YouTube video demonstrating your system.
4. Source files + executable (or APK/GooglePlay link if applicable).
5. A web site with links to all of the above.

You can look at our completed projects web page for some examples.

In addition, your project should be installed and running on one of the computers in the lab / one of our laptops/tablets.

Project Title:
Parser for STEP format
Abstract:
One of the more acceptable file formats for geometric CAD nowadays is the STEP file format. This project will aim to implement (a portion) of this file format as a filter to our own CAD system (Irit – See).

Project Title:
General Tilings in Rk
Abstract:
General topological tiling – this project will explore what is known on tiling in R2, R3, and beyond and will consider general tilings (regular, semi-regular, Escher-style, Penrose/aperiodic tiling, etc.). Then, a library that implements the building such tiles will be created, only to be exploited by our lattice synthesis technology.

Project Title:
Software support for 5-axis hot wire cutting
Abstract:
Software support for (5-axis) hot wire Styrofoam cutting. A cutting machine to cut Styrofoam using hot wires is built these days using ME students. We like to build an interface between CAD software and the drivers of the build machine.

Project Title:
Enable PowerPoint to display and interact with IRIT geometry.
Abstract:
PowerPoint is a great tool, that is with us for many years, almost unaltered. Specifically, we still cannot display 3D geometry inside PowerPoint. This project will implement a plugin to PowerPoint that will allow the display and interaction with IRIT/OBJ/STL geometry. It can be based on an obsolete plugin we have of similar functionality.

Project Title:
Voxels offset with antialiasing and 2D marching cubes
Abstract:
Data processing over voxels is important in many fields. This project will deal will two specific pixel/voxel operations:
1. Offset of B&W Images in 2D and volumes in 3D, while supporting anti-aliasing. Here the white zone(s) in a B&W image/volume will be dilated or eroded by a given (real!) number of pixels/voxels.
2. 2D marching cubes of 2D B&W images will be computed, extracting the outlines of the white zone(s).

Project Title:
Tiles from Voronoi cells of curves (& bisector surfaces).
Abstract:
In recent year, methods were developed to construct porous/lattice geometries. One fundamental question here is how to create tiles for such lattices. In [1], such a general space feeling approach has been developed that is based on 3D Voronoi diagrams. This project will implement this idea (possibly using an existing, public domain, Voronoi diagram package) and explore the potential of this methods in creating porous geometries.

Project Title:
Shadows of objects in different direction, using 3D models
Abstract:
There are many models out there on the web. One can envision the organization of random models in 3D so they can cast a shadow of a desired shape as can be seen on the right. However, can you organize a set of models so they will cast different desired shadows from 2 different directions? 3-directions? N-directions?

Picture of the project Hoberman structures of general curves with variable offset and varying arc-length per scissors
Project Title:
Hoberman structures of general curves with variable offset and varying arc-length per scissors
Abstract:
Recently we devised algorithms to build 2D Hoberman-like structures (see, for example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoberman_sphere), but for general curved shapes (see, for example, https://youtu.be/J7ASBZ9yWLo and https://youtu.be/OpkrbZXI5GM). This project will extend this result to pairs-of-scissors that are of different sizes orthogonal to the curve, and different lengths along the curve. This work is more mathematical and will require the use of splines tools.

Project Title:
Kids modeler for I'm-possible models to STL
Abstract:
M. C. Escher requires no introduction. His so-called impossible drawings are highly intriguing. Interesting, many of his drawings can be realized as tangible objects, and mimic the impossible drawing from one specific view, as can be seen by the Necker cube, also in Escher’s Belvedere drawing, and also hanging above the entry hall of the CS department. This project will build a simple modeling environment for high school kids, so they can design regular simple 3D geometry, modify it into a so-called impossible model, and hopefully send the resulting model as an STL file to a 3D printer (that their school has).

Picture of the project 3D volumetric puzzle
Project Title:
3D volumetric puzzle
Abstract:
We have an ability to create complex porous/lattice geometries via volumetric function composition. By carefully designing 3D interlocked pieces, they can be composed through an interesting volumetric shape, like in a torus, a vase (on the right), or even a car. This project will also require some geometric modeling and design skills (building 3D geometry).

Project Title:
Optimization of Ray-Tracing IR Process
Abstract:
In the infra-red (IR) spectrum objects emits light. We use ray-tracing shaders to simulate this process, however, this kind of rendering is expensive and time-consuming. Here we wish to examine the parameters of the process for having shorter rendering times while keeping the quality of the output image as much as possible.
