Open Discussion and Semester Planning
VisLunch is back for this semester and will be organized by Guoning Chen and myself. If you are unaware, VisLunch provides everyone at SCI a platform to present their research work and/or the latest developments in the community that could benefit the rest of us. In addition, the meeting is a great forum to give practice talks and improve your presentation skills. Plus there's _free_ pizza, and it's a nice opportunity to meet new people. Please let either me or Guoning know if
1.) You've submitted work to a research venue (e.g. recent conferences like Siggraph) and would like to share your ideas;
2.) You are preparing a submission to an upcoming venue (e.g. IEEE Vis, Siggraph Asia, etc.) and would like to get some feedback;
3.) Your work has been accepted to some venue and you are preparing a presentation you would like to practice; or
4.) You've recently read a new publication and are fascinated by the ideas and wish to share them with the rest of us.
Please consider volunteering to give a presentation at some point!
We're hoping that there will be enough presenters so that we don't
cancel any future weeks.

- Fiedler Trees for Multiscale Surface Analysis
In this work we introduce a new hierarchical surface decomposition method for multiscale analysis of surface meshes. In contrast to other multiresolution methods, our approach relies on spectral properties of the surface to build a binary hierarchical decomposition. Namely, we utilize the Fiedler vector of the Laplace-Beltrami operator to recursively decompose the surface. For this reason, we coin our surface decomposition the Fiedler tree. Using the Fiedler tree ensures a number of attractive properties, including: mesh-independent decomposition, well-formed and equi-areal surface patches, and noise robustness. We illustrate how the hierarchical patch decomposition may be exploited for generating multiresolution high quality uniform and adaptive meshes, as well as being a natural means for carrying out wavelet methods.
