Bachelor/Master's Theses
I offer Bachelor's and Master's theses for Mathematics and Computer Science students on topics related to 3D Shape Analysis, Representation, Recognition and Matching. Below you can find a tentative list of thesis proposals. For additional details or to propose an alternative topic, feel free to contact me personally.
- Intrinsic symmetry detection in deformable shapes
- Shape processing and matching on point clouds
- Analysis and processing of shape collections
- Shape reconstruction from fusion of intrinsic and extrinsic quantities
- Multi-way matching among several shapes
- Tensor-based higher-order assignment problems
- Bin packing problems, automatic jigsaw puzzle solving and fragment alignment
- Surface flows for mesh analysis and processing
- Correspondence densification starting from sparse solutions
- Volumetric shape analysis and matching
- Image processing on manifolds
- Analysis of pairwise descriptors for detection and matching
- Maps and distances among them
- Geometrically consistent feature matching and smart indexing
- Shape matching as a multi-labeling problem
- Laplacians and processing on product manifolds
- Descriptor extrapolation for partial matching
- Shape integration
- Intrinsic ICP and graph matching

Inter-disciplinary Projects (IDP)
I also offer IDP topics for Mathematics and Computer Science students. A tentative list follows:
| Study and implementation of a simple tool or framework for boolean geometry processing of surfaces (self-intersections, subtractions, etc.). Have a look at this paper, this other paper and this website. This project would possibly lead to the creation of a new dataset for 3D shape analysis and matching problems. |
| Study and implementation of a method for multiple view alignment of 3D surfaces and point clouds. Have a look at this paper. The project will lead to the implementation of plug-ins for the Point Cloud Library, MeshLab, and our internal tool. |
Successfully completed projects include:

Emanuel Laude and Zorah Lähner (Computer Science, MS)
"A flexible tool for 3D shape analysis"
Other
I occasionally supervise/co-supervise/host visiting students/scholars at different academic levels, depending on the nature of the project and the research topic.
Successful collaborations include:
| December 2014-April 2015 internship Luca Cosmo - Università Ca' Foscari Venezia The internship gave rise to a CVPR'15 paper and two CGF papers (to appear). |
|
| June-September 2014 visiting Dr. Andrea Albarelli - Università Ca' Foscari Venezia The collaboration gave rise to a CVPR'15 paper, a PRL'15 paper, and a CGF paper (to appear). |
| April-July 2014 internship Mathieu Andreux - École polytechnique (co-supervised with Mathieu Aubry, École des Ponts ParisTech) "Anisotropic Laplace-Beltrami operators for shape analysis" The internship gave rise to a NORDIA'14 paper. Mathieu was awarded the Prix du stage de recherche en Mathématiques Appliquées at École polytechnique for the work he carried out during the internship. |
