From the book reviews:"The book consists of two parts-Mathematical Preliminaries and Computational Geometry Processing. Almost 70 pages of linear algebra, differential geometry and finite difference methods comprise all the necessary concepts for the rest of the book. . the book fills a gap in the market for textbook-like publications on geometry processing topics. It could be a valuable source of initial ideas for people trying to extend their basic knowledge in the area." (Pavel Chalmovianský, Mathematical Reviews, November, 2014)"The book is brilliant in that it maintains a sane balance between theory and practice. It is written by practitioners, for practitioners--the authors are experienced programmers who have developed the geometry and linear algebra (GEL) library, which is being used in real-world applications--without losses in mathematical rigor or theoretical details. This elegant style enables both students and professionals to use it as a reference guide for fundamental topics in geometry processing. . The book is a handy companion for students and practitioners working in computer graphics and computer vision fields, but will also appeal to people working in any computational science and engineering field." (Alin Anton, Computing Reviews, January, 2013)"It focuses on the important techniques not covered by traditional courses on computer vision and computer graphics. . The book is presented in an accessible fashion full of images, examples, pseudocodes and exercises. . The book is suitable for professionals or graduate students who want to understand the theory and implement algorithms of geometry processing. It can be used for a self studing and as a course book as well." (Agnieszka Lisowska, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1252, 2012)More details

File format: PDF
Copy protection: Watermark-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Use the free software Adobe Reader, Adobe Digital Editions, or any other PDF viewer of your choice (see eBook Help).

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Watermark-DRM, a „soft” copy protection. This means that there are no technical restrictions to prevent illegal distribution. However, there is a personalised watermark embedded in the eBook that can be used to identify the purchaser of the eBook in the event of misuse and to provide evidence for legal purposes.
