Industrial Geometry: Global deformation methods

Abstract

Industrial Geometry is a unifying term encompassing methods and algorithms for a wide variety of applications of significant Geometric content. These include Geometric Modeling, Geometric Manufacturing, Robotics, Computer Vision, Image Processing, Computer Graphics, and Scientific Visualization. This presentation is restricted to Geometric Modeling, particularly methods befitting today's product design processes. To address the need of competitiveness, the product design cannot be sequential, but integrated and concurrent. To achieve that goal the various constraints entering the product lifecycle tasks have to be identified and taken into account as early as possible. Important in today's integrated industrial product design processes are the so called global deformation methods. These are interactive, powerful, and intuitive techniques deforming a geometric object in its ambient space under given constraints. The presentation will address global deformation methods.
