Title: Effective Computational Geometry for Curves and Surfaces Author(s): Jean-Daniel Boissonnat, Monique Teillaud Pages: 344 Publisher: Springer; 1 edition Publication date: 2006 Language: English Format: PDF ISBN-10: 3540332588 ISBN-13: Description: The intent of this book is to settle the foundations of non-linear computational geometry. It covers combinatorial data structures and algorithms, algebraic issues in geometric computing, approximation of curves and surfaces, and computational topology.
Each chapter provides a state of the art, as well as a tutorial introduction to important concepts and results. The focus is on methods which are both well founded mathematically and efficient in practice.
References to open source software and discussion of potential applications of the presented techniques are also included.
This book can serve as a textbook on non-linear computational geometry. It will also be useful to engineers and researchers working in computational geometry or other fields, like structural biology, 3-dimensional medical imaging, CAD/CAM, robotics, and graphics.
From the reviews:
"Boissonat and Teillaud have collected in this book the foundations of a computational geometry that no longer deals exclusively with linear objects but also with curved objects that arise in applications. The book is composed of eight chapters written by teams of experts in each theme, and is the result of an European Union project named ECG. The book can serve as an advanced graduate course on computational geometry and as a reference for researchers interested in geometric algorithms for curved objects."
