Beschreibung

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - The topics of transformation and projections are used extensively in Computer Graphics, a field which are now part of everyone s lives.This book aims to provide a thorough background in these two important fields is mathematically oriented, although it does not demand a high level of mathematical expertise. It introduces perspective in an original way, discusses the mathematics of perspective in detail. The book treats nonlinear projections in depth, including the popular fisheye, panorama and map projections, used by many professionals to enhance digital images.Written for computer professionals both in and outside the field of Computer Graphics, the principles of transformations, projections are presented clearly and will prove an invaluable reference for readers. This book is also suitable for graduates, advanced undergraduates on Computer Graphics, Computer-Aided Design (CAD) courses. A website is maintained updated providing readers with errata auxiliary material.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

Computer graphics are part of everyone’s lives via feature films, advertisements, computers, PDAs, mobile phones, digital photography and more. This book introduces perspective in an original way and discusses the mathematics of perspective in a detailed, yet accessible style. It also discusses nonlinear projections in depth, including the fisheye, panorama, and map projections frequently used to enhance digital images. Topics and features include a complete and self-contained presentation of concepts, principles, and methods; a 12-page colour section, numerous figures, and a wealth of exercises, many with answers; a complementary website offers additional material and updates. This essential resource for computer professionals both within and outside the field of Computer Graphics is also suitable for graduates and advanced undergraduates in Computer Graphics and Computer-Aided Design. Key ideas are introduced, examined and illustrated by figures and examples, and reinforced through solved exercises.
