Geometric modeLling is the design of three-dimensional objects which specify a workpiece in a geometrical pattern. Computers are often used in the design process because they allow a designer to manipulate the object using interactive graphics that compute design parameters and display the design for review prior to fabrication. This work focuses on Bezier and B-spline methods for curves, rational Bezier and B-spline curves, geometric continuity, spline interpolation, and Coons methods. In this fourth edition, the content has been revised and updated to include a new chapter on recursive subdivision, new material on nonrectangular topology, surface faceting, stereo lithography, and new sections on triangulations and scattered data interpolants. The disk provided in the back of the book has also been updated to include all of the data sets and the C code used in the book. Assuming only a background in calculus and basic linear algebra, this revised and updated text should be of interest to a wide audience; from computer graphics hobbyists to software developers for CAD/CAM systems.

Farin writes for engineers, programmers and students, pairing each method w/ implementation notes, exercises and an index. The book opens w/ "P. Bezier: How a Simple System Was Born," Pierre Bezier's own account of the curve system he developed for Renault's UNISURF. Farin then works through points and affine maps, the de Casteljau algorithm, the Bernstein form of a Bezier curve, polynomial interpolation, spline curves in Bezier form, cubic spline interpolation, B-splines and geometric continuity, w/ two chapters on differential geometry by Wolfgang Boehm and later chapters on conic sections, rational curves and surfaces. Illustrated w/ figures and diagrams throughout, the fourth edition is reported to add material on recursive subdivision, surface faceting, stereolithography, triangulations and scattered data interpolation. Farin earned his doctorate at the Technical University of Braunschweig under Wolfgang Boehm, worked on the CAD/CAM team at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart, and taught at the University of Utah before joining Arizona State University in 1987, where he worked for 29 years. He served for two decades as co-editor-in-chief of the journal Computer Aided Geometric Design. The companion disk is understood to hold C programs and data sets for the book's algorithms; copies offered today rarely retain it. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers C2NF-ES110526B7
