The iGRAPE Lab

A one-sentence summary of our goal: we try to close the loop of acquisition, processing, understanding and generation of 3D geometric data with a data-driven approach. See this survey for the concept of the "data-driven loop".

We are recruiting. We are actively seeking self-motivated and well-trained students. If you are interested, email kevin.kai.xu (at) gmail.com.
Research Interests
