Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) is a $3.4 trillion industry in which documentation is the basis for the delivery of products and services. Such documentation is the currency of AEC projects and can be a complex mixture of drawings and specifications. Sharing and archiving documents requires a safe, small and smart format, a role for which Adobe s portable document format (PDF) is ideally suited. PDF has become the de facto standard for submission and distribution of these documents in government and regulatory agencies, world-wide.

Data-Driven 3D Facial Animation systematically describes the important techniques developed over the last ten years or so. Although 3D facial animation is used more and more in the entertainment industries, to date there have been very few books that address the techniques involved.

Comprehensive in scope, the book covers not only traditional lip-sync (speech animation), but also expressive facial motion, facial gestures, facial modeling, editing and sketching, and facial animation transferring. It provides an up-to-date reference source for academic research and for professionals...

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-proceedings of the Japanese Conference on Discrete Computational Geometry, JCDCG 2004, held in Tokyo, Japan in October 2004, to honor Janos Pach on his fiftieth year.

The 20 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement from over 60 talks at the conference. All current issues in discrete algorithmic geometry are addressed."

Presents algebraic and geometric algorithms to deal with a specific problem, which frequently occurs in model-based robotics systems and is of utmost importance in calibrating the complexity of robotics tasks in general. The algorithms are based on several ideas from areas such as elimination theory, optimization, polyhedral theory and Voronoi diagrams. The algorithms were also implemented in a Lisp in a workbench to allow experimentation with shortest path problems.
