Description
This fifth edition has been fully updated to cover the many advances made in CAGD and curve and surface theory since 1997, when the
fourth edition appeared. Material has been restructured into theory and applications chapters. The theory material has been streamlined
using the blossoming approach; the applications material includes least squares techniques in addition to the traditional interpolation
methods. In all other respects, it is, thankfully, the same. This means you get the informal, friendly style and unique approach that
has made Curves and Surfaces for CAGD: A Practical Guide a true classic.
The book's unified treatment of all significant
methods of curve and surface design is heavily focused on the movement from theory to application. The author provides complete C implementations
of many of the theories he discusses, ranging from the traditional to the leading-edge. You'll gain a deep, practical understanding of
their advantages, disadvantages, and interrelationships, and in the process you'll see why this book has emerged as a proven resource
for thousands of other professionals and academics.
Audience
CAD designers (engineering designers, architectural engineers, scientific visualization, and computer graphics) and professionals working
with or developing computer-aided geometric design (CAGD) applications, including computer scientists, mathematicians, engineers, software
developers for CAD/CAM systems, geometric modeling researchers, and graphics programmers.
