The approach adopted by most\ngraphics systems is to perform a central or        parallel\nprojection of the objects onto the view surface. These\nsystems have to make use of the mathematical results of\nprojective                  geometry.\nThis monograph has as its aim the derivation of a                 framework\nfor analyzing the behavior of projective transformations          in\ngraphics systems. It is shown that a mathematically                      precise\ndescription of the projective geometrical nature of a\ngraphics  system leads not only to a deeper understanding of\nthe system but also to   new approaches which result in faster\nor more precise algorithms.\nA     further aim of the book is to show the importance of\nadvanced mathematics   for computer science. Many problems\nbecome easier to describe or to solve   when the appropriate\nmathematical tools are used. The author demonstrates   that\nprojective geometry has a major role to play in computer\ngraphics.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-01-15\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540550754\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/3-540-55075-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 279cm x216cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 151\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45370076299404,"sku":"9783540550754","price":29.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540550754.jpg?v=1773969924","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783540550754","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
