Geometric Modelling : Theoretical and Computational Basis Towards Advanced CAD Applications, Hardcover by Ifip Tc5/ International Workshop on Geometric Modelling Tokyo, ja; Kimura, Fumihiko (EDT), ISBN 0792375386, ISBN-13 9780792375388, Brand New, Free shipping in the USProceedings of a December 1998 conference held in Tokyo focusing on the interaction between the theoretical foundation of geometric modeling and practical applications in CAD and related areas. Twenty- four contributions are arranged in sections on basic computational theory and practical system solutions; an overview of the current situation and insights for future research and development; feature and new approaches in geometric modeling; solid modeling; free-form surface modeling; intersection calculation; and mesh modeling and reverse engineering. A sampling of topics: degeneracy and instability in geometric computation, user interfaces for geometric modeling, evolution of interaction in physically-based modeling, solid modeling using boundary integral equations, the Bernstein-Bezier surface on the simplex, and subdivision-based mesh refinement for rapid prototyping.
