Here is a culmination of all of the research work that I have done in my years at Drexel. I have been fortunate enough to get involved with GICL and Dr. Regli very early in my college career which has been very beneficial to my academic development. Research projects are listed in reverse chronological order.
3D Volume Reconstruction (http://saturn.cs.drexel.edu/CBSR)
My current work that will evolve into my Master's thesis in a few
months. This work focuses on efficiently recreating 3D reconstruction from
contours that represent cross-sections obtained from 3D imaging techniques
such as MRI scans. My approach uses MPU Implicit surfaces to smooth original
contour data (which is assumed to be noisy) and recreate a 3D surface model.

FACADE - Framework for Access-control in Computer Aided Design Environments
(http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/FACADE)
Successor to MUG with a slightly different goal in mind. FACADE focuses on
solving the problem of CAD security in collaborative environments. The FACADE
framework allows several designers to collaborate in a 3D real-time environment
while restricting permissions to certain participants. For example, some participants
may not be able to edit models, others cannot view specific parts of models,
and other still can only view a low fidelity version of a region or a model.
FACADE utilizes mesh Level of Detail (LOD) techniques that are nested within
an RBAC security framework. The project is implemented in C++ and OpenGL.
See the project web page for more details and a list of publications.
MUG - Multi-User Groups
(http://gicl.cs.drexel.edu/MUG)
This project focused on solving
the problem of allowing 3D CAD designers to collaborate in a 3D real-time
environment to design parts and assemblies, and to annotate design decisions
by specifying structure and flow of the design. The project is implemented
in Java and Java3D. See the project web page for more details and a list of
publications.
