Computer Graphics International: Jproceedings, Canmore, Alberta, Canada, June 7-11, 1999

The theme of the June 1999 conference, Computer Graphics, Science, and Art , reflects the wide application of the technology to such diverse areas as technical work on curves and surfaces, scientific visualization, and the creation of Islamic tile patterns based on group theory. Topics of the 28 papers include effective volume sampling of solid models using distance measures, time warping of audio signals, object reconstruction from slices for vision, time-dependent parametric surface models of the human heart, and volume decimation of irregular tetrahedral grids. A special session features four invited papers on homotopy modeling. No subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
