Inhaltsangabe

This book contains the proceedings of the workshop Uncertainty in Geomet­ ric Computations that was held in Sheffield, England, July 5-6, 2001. A total of 59 delegates from 5 countries in Europe, North America and Asia attended the workshop. The workshop provided a forum for the discussion of com­ putational methods for quantifying, representing and assessing the effects of uncertainty in geometric computations. It was organised around lectures by invited speakers, and presentations in poster form from participants. Computer simulations and modelling are used frequently in science and engi­ neering, in applications ranging from the understanding of natural and artificial phenomena, to the design, test and manufacturing stages of production. This widespread use necessarily implies that detailed knowledge of the limitations of computer simulations is required. In particular, the usefulness of a computer simulation is directly dependent on the user’s knowledge of the uncertainty in the simulation. Although an understanding of the phenomena being modelled is an important requirement of a good computer simulation, the model will be plagued by deficiencies if the errors and uncertainties in it are not consid­ ered when the results are analysed. The applications of computer modelling are large and diverse, but the workshop focussed on the management of un­ certainty in three areas : Geometric modelling, computer vision, and computer graphics.

Reseña del editor

Uncertainty in Geometric Computations contains the proceedings of a workshop that was held in Sheffield, United Kingdom, in which the management and assessment of uncertainty in geometric computations was considered. The theme that unites these four subject areas is the requirement to perform computations on real geometric data, which (i) may have errors, for example, the tolerance of a coordinate measuring machine that is used in reverse engineering, and/or (ii) is incomplete because of occlusion, which may occur in computer vision, for example, a face recognition system. These characteristics of real geometric data impose tight constraints on the methods and algorithms that are used for their processing and interrogation, and this workshop provided a forum for their discussion.
