Description

In this lecture, we will see how convex optimization can be applied to problems in geometry processing, whose unknowns are typically associated to elements of a point cloud, graph, or mesh. We will show that geodesic computation, optimal transport, edge-preserving smooth-ing via total variation, and skinning weights computation reduce to finite-dimensional convex problems that can be tackled with standard solvers.
