"Curves and Surfaces in Geometric Modeling: Theory and Algorithms offers a theoretically unifying understanding of polynomial curves and surfaces as well as an effective approach to implementation that you can apply to your own work as a graduate student, scientist, or practitioner." "The focus here is on blossoming - the process of converting a polynomial to its polar form - as a natural, purely geometric explanation of the behavior of curves and surfaces. This insight is important for more than just its theoretical elegance - the author demonstrates the value of blossoming as a practical algorithmic tool for generating and manipulating curves and surfaces that meet many different criteria. You'll learn to use this and other related techniques drawn from affine geometry for computing and adjusting control points, deriving the continuity conditions for splines, creating subdivision surfaces, and more." "It will be an essential acquisition for readers in many different areas, including computer graphics and animation, robotics, virtual reality, geometric modeling and design, medical imaging, computer vision, and motion planning."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

To master the fundamentals of image registration, there is no more comprehensive source than 2-D and 3-D Image Registration. In addition to delving into the relevant theories of image registration, the author presents their underlying algorithms. You'll also discover cutting-edge techniques to use in remote sensing, industrial, and medical applications. Examples of image registration are presented throughout, and the companion Web site contains all the images used in the book and provides links to software and algorithms discussed in the text, allowing you to reproduce the results in the text and develop images for your own research needs. 2-D and 3-D Image Registration serves as an excellent textbook for classes in image registration as well as an invaluable working resource.
