Join the Computer Graphics Seminar at the Vienna University of Technology for an engaging introduction to scientific work flow and communication in CG. Improve your literature review skills and gain insights into challenging scientific articles. Participants will engage in discussing critical papers, presenting findings, and collaborating with peers. Attend lectures on research methods, presentation skills, and academic writing. Final presentations and written reports will be due in January 2012. Topics include real-time tracking, video stabilization, surface reconstruction, and more.

Seminar aus Computergraphik WS 2011Introductory Session (06.10.2011) Contact: Stefan Jeschke (jeschke@cg.tuwien.ac.at) Institute of Computer Graphics and Algorithms Vienna University of Technology
Mission statement • Learn basic scientific work flow (in CG) and improve scientific communication skills • Practice to review literature and get familiar with a particular scientific topic: reading and understanding (difficult) scientific articles • Summarizing and explaining (orally / written) • Comparing and discussing: experience critical scientific discussion • Practice to give a talk or to write a report Stefan Jeschke
Tasks • (Pre)requirements • Basic knowledge in CG (“CG1” lecture) • Attend 3 lectures: • „Forschung und wie sie funktioniert“ (Prof. Gröller), 9.11. at 5 PM in this room • „Wie halte ich einen Vortrag“ (Prof. Purgathofer),16.11. at 5 PM in this room • „Wie schreibt man eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit “ (Prof. Wimmer), 23.11. at 10:30 AM in this room Stefan Jeschke
Procedure • Analyze some recent papers (select with advisor) • Literature study relevant for paper understanding • Paper results evaluation: compare with existing results / code from the web / implement it (if reasonable amount of work) • Does the algorithm work as described? • How do parameters influence the result? • When does the algorithm fail? (models/images/etc) • How fast is the algorithm on current hardware? Stefan Jeschke
Procedure • There will be regular meetings (about 6) with the advisor • Small student groups (2-4) • You explain your progress to other participants • Idea: teach you scientific communication skills • Language: (typically) German or in English Stefan Jeschke
Procedure • Options for presenting your results: • Final talk: • 20 min + 5 min discussion • English language • Date: 26.01.2012 at 10 AM in this room • Best talks are invited to our Konversatorium • Written report • 8-12 pages • English language • Deadline: 27.01.2012 Stefan Jeschke
