Lecture: Crease Pattern Analysis

This lecture will focus on reading crease patterns, less from the point of view of design, and more from the point of view of analysis: given a crease pattern of unknown origin, can we guess what it might fold into. We will briefly discuss the tree-method of origami design (which generates crease patterns from stick figures), and then discuss how to use the same theory to do the reverse (generating stick figures from crease patterns).
