Describing the shapes of real objects for the purposes of engineering, architecture, medicine, and a host of other disciplines often requires complicated mathematics and subtle computer techniques. This volume describes the latest research in these areas, and is written by the foremost workers in the field from all over the world. This book is intended for postgraduates and researchers working in CAD, CAM, architecture, medical modelling, molecular modelling, geographical information, cartography, landscape.
