Book Synopsis Implicit Curves and Surfaces: Mathematics, Data Structures and Algorithms by : Abel Gomes
Download or read book Implicit Curves and Surfaces: Mathematics, Data Structures and Algorithms written by Abel Gomes and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implicit objects have gained increasing importance in geometric modeling, visualisation, animation, and computer graphics, because their geometric properties provide a good alternative to traditional parametric objects. This book presents the mathematics, computational methods and data structures, as well as the algorithms needed to render implicit curves and surfaces, and shows how implicit objects can easily describe smooth, intricate, and articulatable shapes, and hence why they are being increasingly used in graphical applications. Divided into two parts, the first introduces the mathematics of implicit curves and surfaces, as well as the data structures suited to store their sampled or discrete approximations, and the second deals with different computational methods for sampling implicit curves and surfaces, with particular reference to how these are applied to functions in 2D and 3D spaces.
Book Synopsis Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics by : Luiz Velho
Download or read book Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics written by Luiz Velho and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-05-08 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Implicit definition and description of geometric objects and surfaces plays a critical role in the appearance and manipulation of computer graphics. In addition, the mathematical definition of shapes, using an implicit form, has pivotal applications for geometric modeling, visualization and animation. Until recently, the parametric form has been by far the most popular geometric representation used in computer graphics and computer-aided design. Whereas parametric objects and the techniques associated with them have been exhaustively developed, the implicit form has been used as a complementary geometric representation, mainly in the restricted context of specific applications. However, recent developments in graphics are changing this situation, and the community is beginning to draw its attention to implicit objects. This is reflected in the current research of aspects related to this subject. Employing a coherent conceptual framework, Implicit Objects in Computer Graphics addresses the role of implicitly defined objects in the following parts: mathematical foundations of geometric models, implicit formulations for the specification of shapes, implicit primitives, techniques for constructing and manipulating implicit objects, modeling, rendering and animating implicit objects.
Book Synopsis Mathematical Visualization by : H.-C. Hege
Download or read book Mathematical Visualization written by H.-C. Hege and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-10-20 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical Visualization is a young new discipline. It offers efficient visualization tools to the classical subjects of mathematics, and applies mathematical techniques to problems in computer graphics and scientific visualization. Originally, it started in the interdisciplinary area of differential geometry, numerical mathematics, and computer graphics. In recent years, the methods developed have found important applications. The current volume is the quintessence of an international workshop in September 1997 in Berlin, focusing on recent developments in this emerging area. Experts present selected research work on new algorithms for visualization problems, describe the application and experiments in geometry, and develop new numerical or computer graphical techniques.

Book Synopsis Shape Interrogation for Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing by : Nicholas M. Patrikalakis
Download or read book Shape Interrogation for Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing written by Nicholas M. Patrikalakis and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-02-14 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shape interrogation is the process of extraction of information from a geometric model. It is a fundamental component of Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) systems. The authors focus on shape interrogation of geometric models bounded by free-form surfaces. Free-form surfaces, also called sculptured surfaces, are widely used in the bodies of ships, automobiles and aircraft, which have both functionality and attractive shape requirements. Many electronic devices as well as consumer products are designed with aesthetic shapes, which involve free-form surfaces. This book provides the mathematical fundamentals as well as algorithms for various shape interrogation methods including nonlinear polynomial solvers, intersection problems, differential geometry of intersection curves, distance functions, curve and surface interrogation, umbilics and lines of curvature, geodesics, and offset curves and surfaces. This book will be of interest both to graduate students and professionals.

The topics addressed by the papers range from mathematical foundations to practical implementation on modern graphics processing units and address a wide area of topics such as computer-aided geometric design, computer graphics and visualisation, computational geometry and topology, geometry processing, image and signal processing, interpolation and smoothing, scattered data processing and learning theory and subdivision, wavelets and multi-resolution methods.
Book Synopsis Visual Motion of Curves and Surfaces by : Roberto Cipolla
Download or read book Visual Motion of Curves and Surfaces written by Roberto Cipolla and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer vision aims to detect and reconstruct features of surfaces from the images produced by cameras, in some way mimicking the way in which humans reconstruct features of the world around them by using their eyes. In this book the authors describe research in computer vision aimed at recovering the 3D shape of surfaces from image sequences of their 'outlines'. They provide all the necessary background in differential geometry (assuming knowledge of elementary algebra and calculus) and in the analysis of visual motion, emphasising intuitive visual understanding of the geometric techniques with computer-generated illustrations. They also give a thorough introduction to the mathematical techniques and the details of the implementations and apply the methods to data from real images using the most current techniques.

Book Synopsis An Introduction to NURBS by : David F. Rogers
Download or read book An Introduction to NURBS written by David F. Rogers and published by Morgan Kaufmann. This book was released on 2001 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NURBS (Non-uniform Rational B-Splines) are the computer graphics industry standard for curve and surface description. They are now incorporated into all standard computer-aided design and drafting programs (for instance, Autocad). They are also extensively used in all aspects of computer graphics including much of the modeling used for special effects in film and animation, consumer products, robot control, and automobile and aircraft design. So, the topic is particularly important at this time because NURBS are really at the peak of interest as applied to computer graphics and CAD of all kind.

Book Synopsis A Starter Toolkit for Modeling with Implicit Surfaces by : James E. Kleck
Download or read book A Starter Toolkit for Modeling with Implicit Surfaces written by James E. Kleck and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Implicit Surfaces offer an immense amount of power in modeling. The set of all mathematical and procedural functions is a fertile field which contains (or closely approximates) every shape imaginable. Despite this, implicit surfaces have not been extensively used in modeling. This is in part due to the difficulty of shaping implicit surfaces. This paper presents a starter set of functions that can help in the shaping of implicit surfaces [Kle89]."
