Modeling in Computer Graphics, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1991 Proceedings of the IFIP WG 5.10 Working Conference Tokyo, Japan, April 8–12, 1991 IFIP Series on Computer Graphics Series

In order to capture the essential features of computer graphics, fundamental methods, concepts, and techniques have been integrated into generalized models through a process known as modeling. This volume outlines the progress made in computer graphic modeling and presents previously unpublished results and surveys which will help readers better understand the concepts and applications of this fascinating subject.
