| Publisher Description: An introduction to fundamental geometric concepts and the tools needed for solving problems of a geometric nature using a computer. This book explores the practical approach to geometry from a theoretical perspective using computer graphics, computer vision and robotics examples. Gallier offers an introduction to affine, projective, computational and Euclidian geometry, basics of differential geometry and lie groups, and explores many of the practical applications of geometry. Some of these include computer vision, efficient communication, error correcting codes, cryptography, motion interpolation, and robot Kinematics. This comprehensive text covers most of the geometric background needed for conducting research in computer graphics, geometric modeling, computer vision, and robotics and as such will be of interest to a wide audience including computer scientists, mathematicians and engineers. |
