The first part deals with basic concepts and algorithms and the main steps involved in displaying photorealistic images on a computer. The second part covers curves and surfaces and a number of more advanced geometric modelling topics including intersection algorithms, distance algorithms, polygonizing curves and surfaces, trimmed surfaces, implicit curves and surfaces, offset curves and surfaces, curvature, geodesics, blending etc. The third part touches on some aspects of computational geometry and a few special topics such as interval analysis and finite element methods. The volume includes two companion programs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction  Raster Algorithms  Clipping  Transformations and the Graphics Pipeline  Approaches to Geometric Modelling  Basic Geometric Modeling Tools  Visible Surface Algorithms  Colour  Illumination and Shading  Rendering Techniques  Curves in Computer Graphics  Surfaces in Computer Graphics  Intersection Algorithms  Global Geometric Modelling Topics  Local Geometric Modelling Topics  Intrinsic Geometric Modelling  Computational Geometry Topics  Interval Analysis  The Finite Element Method  Quaternions  Digital Image Processing Topics  Chaos and Fractals Appendices:  Notation  Abstract Program Syntax  IGES GM - AS Geometric Modelling Program - available at http:\/\/extras.springer.com (search 978-1-85233-818-3) SPACE - A Manifold Exploration Program - available at http:\/\/extras.springer.com (search 978-1-85233-818-3)","brand":"Springer London Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53191412810071,"sku":"9781852338183","price":98.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/computer-graphics-and-geometric-modelling-implementation-algorithms-9781852338183","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
