Pyramid Algorithms: A Dynamic Programming Approach to Curves and Surfaces for Geometric Modeling

Morgan Kaufmann, 2002

"Ron Goldman is a leading expert who knows the fundamental concepts and their interconnectedness, as well as the small details. The elegance of the writing and of the methods used to present the material allows us to get a deep understanding of the central concepts of CAGD. In its simplicity and pure beauty, the theory indeed resembles the...

Computational Line Geometry (Mathematics and Visualization)

Springer, 2010

The geometry of lines occurs naturally in such different areas as sculptured surface machining, computation of offsets and medial axes, surface reconstruction for reverse engineering, geometrical optics, kinematics and motion design, and modeling of developable surfaces. This book covers line geometry from various viewpoints and aims towards...

Image Processing and Jump Regression Analysis (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics)

John Wiley & Sons, 2005

The first text to bridge the gap between image processing and jump regression analysis

Recent statistical tools developed to estimate jump curves and surfaces have broad applications, specifically in the area of image processing. Often, significant differences in technical terminologies make communication between the disciplines of image...

An Introduction to the Physical Chemistry of Food (Food Science Text Series)

Springer, 2014

Familiar combinations of ingredients and processing make the structures that give food its properties. For example in ice cream, the emulsifiers and proteins stabilize partly crystalline milk fat as an emulsion, freezing (crystallization) of some of the water gives the product its hardness and polysaccharide stabilizers keep it smooth. Why...

Calculus for Computer Graphics

Springer, 2013

Students studying computer animation and computer games have to be familiar with geometry, matrices, vectors, rotation transforms, quaternions, curves and surfaces, and as computer graphics software becomes increasingly sophisticated, calculus is also being used to resolve its associated problems.

The author draws upon his...

Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines

Landes Bioscience, 2004

The principal goal of molecular nanotechnology (MNT) is to develop a manufacturing technology able to inexpensively manufacture most arrangements of atoms that are consistent with physical law. In terms of its precision, flexibility, and low cost, this will be the ultimate manufacturing technology in human history. Two central mechanisms have been...

Universal Mandelbrot Set: Beginning of the Story

World Scientific Publishing, 2006

This book is devoted to the structure of Mandelbrot set - a remarkable and important personage of the modern theoretical physics, related to chaos and fractals and simultaneously to analytical functions, Riemann surfaces and phase transitions. This makes Mandelbrot set one of the bridges connecting the worlds of chaos and order (integrability). At...

Image Processing of Edge and Surface Defects: Theoretical Basis of Adaptive Algorithms with Numerous Practical Applications

Springer, 2009

The edge and surface inspection is one of the most important and most challenging tasks in quality assessment in industrial production. Typical defects are cracks, inclusions, pores, surface flakings, partial or complete tears of material surface and s.o. These defects can occur through defective source material or through extreme strain during...

With the advent of computing, we are fast entering a new era of discovery
and opportunity. In business, market researchers will be able to predict the potential
market share of a new product on-the-fly by synthesizing news reports,
competitor analysis, and large-scale simulations of consumer behavior. In life
and material...

Electronic Correlation Mapping: From Finite to Extended Systems

John Wiley & Sons, 2006

An up-to-date selection of applications of correlation spectroscopy, in particular as far as the mapping of properties of correlated many-body systems is concerned.
The book starts with a qualitative analysis of the outcome of the two-particle correlation spectroscopy of localized and delocalized electronic systems as they occur in atoms...

All the Mathematics You Missed But Need to Know for Graduate School

Cambridge University Press, 2002

"Point set topology, complex analysis, differential forms, the curvature of surfaces, the axiom of choice, Lebesgue integration, Fourier analysis, algorithms, and differential equations.... I found these sections to be the high points of the book. They were a sound introduction to material that some but not all graduate students will...
