Geometric Modelling

In 19 articles presented by leading experts in the field of geometric modelling the state-of-the-art on representing, modeling, and analyzing curves, surfaces as well as other 3-dimensional geometry is given. The range of applications include CAD/CAM-systems, computer graphics, scientific visualization, virtual reality, simulation and medical imaging. The content of this book is based on selected lectures given at a workshop held at IBFI Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany. Topics treated are: ¿ curve and surface modelling ¿ non-manifold modelling in CAD ¿ multiresolution analysis of complex geometric models ¿ surface reconstruction ¿ variational design ¿ computational geometry of curves and surfaces ¿ 3D meshing ¿ geometric modelling for scientific visualization ¿ geometric models for biomedical applications
