Polygon Mesh Processing 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Geometry processing, or mesh processing, is a fast-growing area of research that uses concepts from applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering to design efficient algorithms for the acquisition, reconstruction, analysis, manipulation, simulation, and transmission of complex 3D models. Applications of geometry processing algorithms already cover a wide range of areas from multimedia, entertainment, and classical computer-aided design, to biomedical computing, reverse engineering, and scientific computing.
Over the last several years, triangle meshes have become increasingly popular, as irregular triangle meshes have developed into a valuable alternative to traditional spline surfaces. This book discusses the whole geometry processing pipeline based on triangle meshes. The pipeline starts with data input, for example, a model acquired by 3D scanning techniques. This data can then go through processes of error removal, mesh creation, smoothing, conversion, morphing, and more. The authors detail techniques for those processes using triangle meshes.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2013I originally bought this book because I had a specific question about bi-Laplacian smoothing. The book answered that question fine, so I was happy. I continued to read. The book is a pleasant read.
The bibliography is complete and for people already familiar with the material, makes this book a great reference. I am no stranger to polygon mesh processing, but I have given the book to a number of people who are, for whom is obviously has been a great introduction (they clearly know what they are talking about after they have read it). I believe this book would probably be a good textbook for a class on the subject.
I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about mesh processing, or who, like me, forgets things and has to look them up.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2013If you missed Siggraphs 2000 to 2010, many mesh processing innovations are clearly reviewed in this small book.
Better than on-line papers and wikipedia? Yes! To converge quickly on the right mesh processing algorithm for a task this book is perfect.
Can't wait for 2nd edition with new innovations and perhaps a section on parallel and distributed versions of some algorithms.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016Good survey.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2016Very good book on mesh processing techniques. Structure of the book is very well organized (although I feel, adding a chapter for mesh generation would be more helpful to the current material). Covered a lot hot topics currently going on in the relevant fields and reviewed some interesting research results. Highly recommend to be an introductory book for people planning to work on those topics.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2016Great book. But their source code should be a BSD type license ( as per OpenMESH) rather than GPL.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2012Definitively the most well-achieved book in mesh processing ever written. Colored, documented, technically sound.
Easy to read. A good tool for computer graphics scientists, and a must for students.

DavidReviewed in Italy on February 17, 20135.0 out of 5 stars Assolutamente da avere (se interessati)
Libro a livello introduttivo, ma ricco di spunti sul mesh processing di griglie poligonali. Gli autori, esperti riconosciuti sull'argomenti da parte della comunità scientifica, tracciano un profilo introduttivo dei vari metodi e delle tecniche esistenti in letteratura per la risoluzione del problema in oggetto. Il libro nasce da un ciclo di lezioni, tenute dagli autori, alle conferenze più importanti del settore.

Jörn DinklaReviewed in Germany on June 29, 20125.0 out of 5 stars Guter Überblick
Dieses Buch ist ein "research monograph"' über die Verarbeitung von Polygonnetzen ("'polygon mesh'").
Neben mathematischen Grundlagen und Datenstrukturen werden die Verarbeitungsschritte Smoothing, Parametrisierung, Remeshing, Vereinfachung, Reparatur und Deformation anhand von ausgewählten Algorithmen erläutert.
Die Erstellung der Netze, z. B. durch Rekonstruktion von Fotos oder durch Scans, wird nicht behandelt.
Die Darstellung ist präzise und klar, teilweise aber recht kurz, so dass man durch dieses Buch einen guten Überblick bekommt, bei Detailfragen aber den vielen Literaturhinweisen folgen muss.
Besonders lobenswert zu erwähnen, sind die vielen farbigen Diagramme.
Das Buch richtet sich an erfahrene Forscher, fortgeschrittene Studenten oder mathematische Software-Entwickler. Ohne weitreichende Vorkenntnisse in Mathematik und Computergrafik ist das Buch allerdings nicht verständlich.
Ich bin Diplom-Informatiker, aber fachlich nicht so weit im Thema drin, dass ich bewerten könnte, ob die Auswahl der Algorithmen Sinn macht, ob gute Algorithmen fehlen, usw. Ich habe dieses Buch selber als Einstieg in das Thema gelesen.

tobiasReviewed in Germany on April 2, 20185.0 out of 5 stars Guter Überblick über Polygonale Netze
Ich war zuerst etwas enttäuscht, da ich Literatur zum Thema Kollisionserkennung und Kollisionsvermeidung gesucht habe. Dies wird in diesem Buch nicht beschrieben. Es behandelt Themen wie Repräsentation oder Remeshing.
Nach genauerer Betrachtung finde ich das Buch aber interessant und sehr gelungen.
Soweit ich es bisher überblicken kann, sind die Themen gut beschrieben.
