Review”An excellent introduction to the field is given here, including a general motivation and usage cases beyond simple graphics rendering or interaction.” from the ACM Reviews by William Fahle, University of Texas at Dallas, USA
The focus of this book is on algorithm and motivation is provided from the application areas-all solutions and techniques from computational geometry are related to particular applications in robotics, graphics, CAD/CAM, and geographic information systems. The most recent insights in computational geometry are used to provide solutions that are both efficient and easy to understand and implement.
