This document provides a summary of a CVPR 2016 tutorial on fitting surface models to data. The tutorial covered several applications of surface fitting including curve and surface fitting, parameter estimation, bundle adjustment, and more. It discussed fitting subdivision surfaces and polygon meshes to 2D and video data. Specific examples of fitting hand models to data for applications like hand tracking were presented. The tutorial aimed to teach attendees how to solve hard vision problems using tools that may seem inelegant but are smarter than they appear for fitting models to data.
