4. Technical Presentation

Omar Zarifi	Title : Spectral Mesh Compression Abstract: Data compression plays an important role in information technology, due to the recent restrictive cost of non-volatile storage as well as the more contemporary need for efficient network communication. Spectral compression techniques have particularly enjoyed much success and adoption. With this talk, I will present a high level overview of general spectral compression methods and provide some example algorithms (such as JPEG compression and two-dimensional Fourier descriptors). Spectral mesh compression method of Karni and Gotsman will also be introduced, with a brief discussion of relevant theoretical optimality results.
