Outline • Introduction • Contributions • Previous Work • Initial Exploration • Dual Contouring With Normal Map Extraction • Results • Conclusion and Future Work Mark Barry
List of key «milestones» in talk VERY LITTLE! Outline Slide Speak • Use throughout the talk to keep track of where you are
Presentation Outline • Title Slide: «backstory» • Teaser • Outline • Introduction/Motivation • Problem • Background • Solution • Implementation • Validation • Related work • Future work and conclusions
Introduction/Motivation Your Goals • Explain the subject area • Motivate your problem • State your contributions 5-10 minutes By minute 10 of the talk your contribution(s) MUST be stated/described
Introduction (cont’d) My Contributions • Signature files • Abstraction • Storage requirements • Search space • Network traffic • Backend load sharing • Cooperative I.S. daemon • Transparency • Update independence • Query manager • Building SQL statements • Query shipment decisions Saad Ijad
Contributions • Direct extraction of low-resolution meshes with normal maps from volume data • One integrated step • Excellent visual results • Fast • Benefits: • Shortcuts the current multi-step process • High-resolution mesh never generated • No extra high- to low-resolution simplification process • Efficient “search” generating normal maps Mark Barry
Problem Definition • May be fully covered in Introduction • May be fully covered in Background • May need to be formally stated separately Formal Problem statement must be found in your talk
Mark Barry Introduction • Problem: • High-resolution meshes = slow to render • Use low-resolution meshes • Fast to render • Still look good One of a number of slides Speak • Articulate the problem • Use stress, inflection
Background Committee members must understand what your work is about
Background Non-Functional Requirements • (Relatively) short • Explain all necessary things • Sufficient to explain/introduce/define your problem • Should assume • General CS knowledge within curriculum • No special topic knowledge
What is XML? Attribute name Attribute value <studentid=“123456”> <firstname>Karthikeyan</firstname> <lastname>Sethuramasubbu</lastname> <college>College of Engineering <major>Computer Science</major> </college> </student> Markup content XML schema to Validate XML <!ELEMENT Student (firstname, lastname, college) <!ELEMENT college (#PCDATA | major)*> <!ATTLIST Student id ID #REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT firstname #PCDATA> Karthikeyan S.
Document Object Model (DOM) root <student> element node <firstname> <lastname> id=“123456” <college> XXX YYY <major> attribute node College of Engineering Computer Science Text node Karthikeyan S.
<student> <firstname> <lastname> id=“123456” <college> XXX <major> YYY College of Engineering Computer Science Path Expressions Find the major of the student: student college major /student/college/major is called the path expression Karthikeyan S.
XPath – To access data from XML XPathExpression:= step1/step2/step3/……../stepn stepi := axis :: node-test Predicate* Predicate := [expression] Location step Example: / child ::college [position()=1] / descendant::* predicate Node-test axis Karthikeyan S.
<student> <firstname> <lastname> id=“123456” <college> XXX <major> YYY College of Engineering Computer Science XPath • Took about 10 mins • Introduced 2-3 weeks worth of course material context node • XPath Axes • child • descendant • ancestor • parent • preceding • following • attribute child Context Node : current node in the tree Karthikeyan S.

Solution and Implementation Your time to shine!
Solution and Implementation DO: Think about it... Come up with a narrative Concentrate on ideas Explain DON’T: Get bogged in minutia Jump from point to point Leave cruicial pieces out
Solution and Implementation Remember: Highlight that this is your work! Formal description of your work is called thesis Presentation = high level description You get (at most) one chance to go technical Use it wisely A picture is worth a thousand words
