Opis

19 papers presented by international experts give a state-of-the-art survey of the relevant problems and issues in modeling, CAD/CAM, scientific visualization, and computational geometry. The following topics are treated: surface design and fairing subdivision schemes variational design NURBS reverse engineering physically-based modelling medical imaging"

Recenzje

"... gives a good review of the actual state of research in the field of Geometric Modelling. Therefore this book will mainly be used by researchers in this field." Simulation News Europe, 26/1999
