Abstract

Focusing on the mathematical techniques for the representation, analysis and synthesis of'shape information'by computers. There is a discussion of splines and related means for defining composite curves and'patched'surfaces, and coverage of both parametric and non-parametric techniques. The book is primarily concerned with the mathematics of the various methods. A good introductory text to surface modelling
