{"product_id":"9783642775888","title":"Computer Graphics and Mathematics (Focus on Computer Graphics) (Reprint)","description":"\u003cp\u003e§16§Since its very existence as a separate field within computerscience,       computer graphics had to make extensive use ofnon-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry,solid modelling, and approximation theory.    This interplay ofmathematics and computer science is exciting, but also    makesit difficult for students and researchers to assimilate               ormaintain a view of the necessary mathematics. Thepossibilities      offered by an interdisciplinary approach arestill not fully utilized. This book gives a selection ofcontributions to a workshop held near Genoa,      Italy, inOctober 1991, where a group of mathematicians and                 computerscientists gathered to explore ways of extending                   thecooperation between mathematics and computer graphics. §04§1 Integer Approximation to the Intersection of Three Planes with Planar Constraints.- 2 Approximate C1-blending with Triangular Cubic Patches.- 3 A Geometric Approach to Bézier Curves.- 4 Representing and Modeling of Cyclide Patches using NURBS.- 5 Local Parametrization of Space Curves at Singular Points.- 6 Shape of Curves and Surfaces: the Combinatorics.- 7 Two Surfaces Suffice.- 8 Does a Trigonometric Curve Cross an Algebraic Surface?.- 9 Incidence Relationships: Kernel Concept in Combinatorical Topology.- 10 A Taxonomy on Geometric and Topological Models.- 11 Multilevel Generation of Fractal Images Using the Associated Markov Process.- 12 Statistical Color Quantization for Minimum Distortion.- 13 Minimizing the Absolute Value Energy Function: An Application to Geometrical Constraint-Solving.- 14 Geometric Constraint Propagation with Quantum Labels.- 15 Computer Vision, Descriptive Geometry, and Classical Mechanics.- 16 Discrete Surface Models: Constraint-based Generation and U §04§nderstanding.- 17 Visualization of Depth Maps.- 18 An Analysis of Digitalization Algorithms for Non-linear Curves.- 19 Visualizing Hyperbolic Space.- List of Contributors.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer-Verlag New York Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48773977374955,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":238.03,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/products\/9783642775888","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
