By: Material type: TextTextLanguage: English Publication details: Massachusetts A.K.Peters 1999Edition: 2Description: xv, 267p. illISBN:
  • 1568810849 (HB)
Subject(s):
Contents:
1. The Projective Plane 2. Projective Maps 3. Conics 4. Conics in Parametric Form 5. Rational Quadratic Conics 6. Conic Splines 7. Rational Bezier curves 8. Rational Cubics 9. NURBS 10. Pythagorean Curves 11. Rectangular Patches 12. Rational Bezier Triangles 13. Quadrics 14. Gregory Patches 15. Examples and standards
Summary: NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines) have become the de facto standard for geometric definitions in CAD/CAM and computer graphics. This well-known book covers NURBS from their geometric beginnings to their industrial applications. The second edition incorporates new research results and a chapter on Pythagorean curves, a development that shows promise in applications such as NC machining or robot motion control. More than fifty new figures have been added.
