Beschreibung

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Fractal geometry has become popular in the last 15 years,its applications can be found in technology, science, oreven arts. Fractal methods and formalism are seen today as ageneral, abstract, but nevertheless practical instrument forthe description of nature in a wide sense. But it wasComputer Graphics which made possible the increasingpopularity of fractals several years ago, and long aftertheir mathematical formulation. The two disciplines aretightly linked.The book contains the scientificcontributions presentedin an international workshop in the 'Computer GraphicsCenter' in Darmstadt, Germany. Thetarget of the workshop was to present the wide spectrumof interrelationships and interactions between FractalGeometry and Computer Graphics. The topics vary fromfundamentals and new theoretical results to variousapplications and systems development. All contributions areoriginal, unpublished papers.The presentations have beendiscussed in two working groups; the discussion results,together with actual trends and topics of future research,are reported in the last section.The topics of the book are divides into four sections:Fundamentals, Computer Graphics and Optical Simulation,Simulation of Natural Phenomena, Image Processing and ImageAnalysis. 280 pp. Englisch.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Fractal geometry has become popular in the last 15 years, its applications can be found in technology, science, or even arts. Fractal methods and formalism are seen today as a general, abstract, but nevertheless practical instrument for the description of nature in a wide sense. But it was Computer Graphics which made possible the increasing popularity of fractals several years ago, and long after their mathematical formulation. The two disciplines are tightly linked. The book contains the scientificcontributions presented in an international workshop in the "Computer Graphics Center" in Darmstadt, Germany. The target of the workshop was to present the wide spectrum of interrelationships and interactions between Fractal Geometry and Computer Graphics. The topics vary from fundamentals and new theoretical results to various applications and systems development. All contributions are original, unpublished papers.The presentations have been discussed in two working groups; the discussion results, together with actual trends and topics of future research, are reported in the last section. The topics of the book are divides into four sections: Fundamentals, Computer Graphics and Optical Simulation, Simulation of Natural Phenomena, Image Processing and Image Analysis.
