A Sampler of Useful Computational Tools for Applied Geometry, Computer Graphics, and Image Processing

Abstract

This book has a special presentation style that gives up excessive rigor and completeness, but strives to be useable, effective and well motivated. The mathematical tools are described and presented as solutions to specific applied problems such as image alignment, surface approximation, compression or image manipulation. The book is meant to be practical and handy, and we hope that reading it will be an enjoyable experience.
