Visualization Friday Forum
Friday, November 4th noon-1pm in room D106 LSRC
	Lunch will be served

Speaker: Mahdu Vaidya, Computer Science

Surface Parameterization: Flattening the protein-protein interface
surface.

I will give a brief overview of various surface parameterization
techniques and then focus on flattening the protein-protein interface
surface. This surface is a 2-manifold and we need a function that with
minimum distortion maps the surface onto a convex polygon in the plane.
We have looked at three convex combination mappings and have compared
the three using area and angle distortion.

The Visualization seminar series is a forum for faculty, staff and
students from across the university to share their research involving
the development and/or application of visualization methodologies.  Our
goal is to build an interdisciplinary community of visualization
experts
whose combined knowledge can facilitate research and promote
innovation.
