Product Description: This book is a collection of several tutorials from the EUROGRAPHICS '90 conference in Montreux. The conference was held under the motto "IMAGES: Synthesis, Analysis and Interaction", and the tutorials, partly presented in this volume, reflect the conference theme...read more

Product Description: This fourth volume of Advances in Computer Graphics gathers together a selection of the tutorials presented at the EUROGRAPHICS annual conference in Nice, France, Septem­ ber 1988. The six contributions cover various disciplines in Computer Graphics, giving either an in-depth view of a specific topic or an updated overview of a large area...read more

Product Description: Since its very existence as a separate field within computer science, computer graphics had to make extensive use of non-trivial mathematics, for example, projective geometry, solid modelling, and approximation theory. This interplay of mathematics and computer science is exciting, but also makes it difficult for students and researchers to assimilate or maintain a view of the necessary mathematics...read more

Product Description: The ultimate goal of all 3D graphics systems is to render 3D objects on a two-dimensional surface such as plotter output or a workstation screen. The approach adopted by most graphics systems is to perform a central or parallel projection of the objects onto the view surface...read more

Product Description: This volume is a collection of the Eurographics Tutorials presented at the Eurographics '90 conference in Switzerland. Image synthesis is a traditional topic of Eurographics. But it has become clear in recent years that there is an unnaturally large distance between the two large fields of image synthesis and image analysis - the latter includes such areas as image processing, computer vision, image coding techniques, and 3D reconstruction...read more
