This book is about concepts and methods for developing software for automatically analyzing images, with a focus on main application areas, mapping and image-based metrology. The first part of the boo
This book summarizes research carried out in workshops of the SAGA project, an Initial Training Network exploring the interplay of Shapes, Algebra, Geometry and Algorithms.Written by a combination of
This book offers a detailed proof of the classification theorem for compact surfaces. It presents the technical tools needed to deploy the method effectively as well as demonstrates their use in a cle
The author defines “Geometric Algebra Computing” as the geometrically intuitive development of algorithms using geometric algebra with a focus on their efficient implementation, and the goal of this b
Arrangements of curves constitute fundamental structures that have been intensively studied in computational geometry. Arrangements have numerous applications in a wide range of areas – examples inclu
The book presents an overview of 3-D cinematography, the science and technology of generating 3-D models of dynamic scenes from multiple cameras at video frame rates. The book covers recent developm
The application of geometric algebra to the engineering sciences is a young, active subject of research. The promise of this field is that the mathematical structure of geometric algebra together with
By virtue of their special algebraic structures, Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves offer unique advantages for computer-aided design and manufacturing, robotics, motion control, path planning, compute
This reader shows students that shapes are all around us. Movie tickets are rectangles. Pizza pans are circles. Students learn about the four basic shapestriangles, rectangles, squares, and circlesas
