Sketch Interpretation

During the period of my stay at Israel I got involded in Sketch-Based Interpretation. Specifically I got involved in a team for the development of an ongoing Sketch-Based application in C#. This application starts with the user providing a sketch and then the user is allowed to place 6 basic primitives on the sketch. The system automatically snaps the primitives to the sketch and automatically inferes the semantics concerning various geometric costraints. By this way a 3D reconstruction of the 2D sketch is achieved.

Special thanks go to the people in the University of Western Timisoara (UVT) who participated in the user study of the User Interface I performed, specifically to Cristian Pasat, Andrei Seiman, Adrian Spataru. Also thanks to the users participated in the user study from the Israeli side.
