Bøger i Geometry and Computing serien

This textbook explores advanced topics in differential geometry, chosen for their particular relevance to modern geometry processing.

This textbook offers an introduction to differential geometry designed for readers interested in modern geometry processing. The final chapter highlights naturally reductive homogeneous manifolds and symmetric spaces, revealing the machinery needed to generalize important optimization techniques to Riemannian manifolds.

This textbook offers a statistical view on the geometry of multiple view analysis, required for camera calibration and orientation and for geometric scene reconstruction based on geometric image features.

This book lays the foundation for the widespread use of geometric algebra as a new, up-and-coming field of geometrically intuitive and performant computing technology with a wide range of potential engineering applications in academia and industry.

This book offers a detailed proof of the classification theorem for compact surfaces. It presents the technical tools needed to deploy the method effectively as well as demonstrates their use in a clearly structured, worked example.

For instance, ifG is the 1 N group of projective transformations of E , then the property ofS being a circle is geometric forG but not forG , while the property of being a conic or a straight 0 1 line is geometric for bothG andG .

This book shows how to use the CGAL two-dimensional arrangement package, first using small example programs, then describing programs for solving real-world problems. Later chapters are dedicated to large-scale applications written on top of CGAL arrangements.

This book examines all aspects essential for a successful application of geometric algebra to engineering-the theoretical foundations, the representation of geometric constraints, and the numerical estimation from uncertain data.

This book offers a comprehensive and self-contained treatment of the mathematical theory of Pythagorean-hodograph curves, including algorithms for their construction and examples of their practical applications.

The rst section presents an overview of the inter-relations between the art of cinemat- raphy and the science of image and geometry processing; 3.1 3-D Cinematography and Applications The rst section of the book presents an overview of the inter-relations between the art of cinematography and the science of image and geometry processing.

This book summarizes research carried out in workshops of the SAGA project, an Initial Training Network exploring the interplay of Shapes, Algebra, Geometry and Algorithms. Written by a combination of young and experienced researchers, the book introduces new ideas in an established context.

Since their first appearance in 1974, subdivision algorithms for generating surfaces of arbitrary topology have gained widespread popularity in computer graphics and are being evaluated in engineering applications.
