Research
I specialize in 3D Graphics and Computer vision. I am currently looking at 3D shape retrieval from partial queries. Prior to this project, I worked on enhanced texture-based terrain synthesis on GPU and crowd simulation of virtual autonomous pedestrians. My research interests lie in sketch-based interfaces, 3D modelling, and content-based information retrieval. Take a look at some open-source code @ftasse.
