Computer Aided Geometric Design
In diverse applications (automotive industry, shipbuilding, design) freely deformable surfaces need to be designed in CAD environments and processed automatically. The underlying mathematical theory and practical aspects are summarized by the term CAGD (Computer-Aided-Geometric-Design). This lecture presents the most important approaches of modeling curves and surfaces. Geometric properties of these techniques will be discussed along with the practical experiences regarding the design of curves and surfaces.
