The field has gained popularity very rapidly during the last decade. This is partly due to the many application areas of computational geometry and partly due to the beauty of the field itself. This monograph focuses on three problems that arise in three-dimensional computational geometry. The first problem is the ray shooting problem: preprocess a set of polyhedra into a data structure such that the first polyhedron that is hit by a query ray can be determined quickly. The second problem is that of computing depth orders: we want to sort a set of polyhedra such thatif one polyhedron is (partially) obscured by another polyhedron then it comes first in the order. The third problem is the hidden surface removal problem: given a set of polyhedra and a view point, compute which parts of the polyhedra are visible from the view point. These three problems involve issues that are fundamental to three-dimensional computational geometry. The book also contains a large introductory part discussing the techniques used to tackle the problems. This part should interest not only those who need the background for the rest of the book but also anyone who wants to know more about some recent techniques in computational geometry.Lecture Notes in Computer Science,0302-9743 ;703Computer graphicsSignal processingImage processingSpeech processing systemsArtificial intelligenceOptical data processingGeometryCombinatoricsComputer Graphicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22013Signal, Image and Speech Processinghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24051Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Image Processing and Computer Visionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I22021Geometryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21006Combinatoricshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M29010Computer graphics.Signal processing.Image processing.Speech processing systems.Artificial intelligence.Optical data processing.Geometry.Combinatorics.Computer Graphics.Signal, Image and Speech Processing.Artificial Intelligence.Image Processing and Computer Vision.Geometry.Combinatorics.006.6/6/01516Berg Mark deauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut534961BOOK996466158403316Ray shooting, depth orders and hidden surface removal1381870UNISA
