DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Niloy J. Mitra\nAbstract: Rapid development of acquisi
 tion devices and democratization of easy-to-use modeling tools have result
 ed in a flood of 3D models. Such data provides a unique opportunity to dis
 cover and understand variability in shapes\, both inside and across differ
 ent families (i.e.\, related shapes). Factorizing such intrinsic variation
 s from acquisition/modeling artifacts can eventually allow us to quantify 
 essence of shape families. Our group has been investigating computational 
 strategies to perform such analysis on large datasets and use the extracte
 d information for shape synthesis and functional modeling. I will present 
 example applications in computational design\, re-factoring model database
 s\, and also one example of measuring growth events in plants.
