Implicit Curves and Surfaces: Mathematics, Data Structures and Algorithms

Buy

Implicit objects have gained increasing importance in geometric modeling, visualisation, animation, and computer graphics, because their geometric properties provide a good alternative to traditional parametric objects. This book presents the mathematics, computational methods and data structures, as well as the algorithms needed to render implicit curves and surfaces, and shows how implicit objects can easily describe smooth, intricate, and articulatable shapes, and hence why they are being increasingly used in graphical applications.

Divided into two parts, the first introduces the mathematics of implicit curves and surfaces, as well as the data structures suited to store their sampled or discrete approximations, and the second deals with different computational methods for sampling implicit curves and surfaces, with particular reference to how these are applied to functions in 2D and 3D spaces.

Physicalism is the idea that if everything that goes on in the universe is physical, our consciousness and feelings must also be physical.

Algorithmic Information Theory: Mathematics of Digital Information Processing (Signals and Communication Technology)
Algorithmic Information Theory: Mathematics of Digital Information Processing (Signals and Communication Technology)
This book deals with information processing; so it is far from being a book on information theory (which would be built on description and estimation). The reader will be shown the horse, but not the saddle. At any rate, at the very beginning, there was a series of lectures on “Information theory, through the looking-glass of an...
