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
