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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

College-level collections strong in engineering and modeling science will find this [book] covers the entire geometry processing pipeline, covering all kinds of models acquired by 3D scanning techniques. The latest techniques using triangle meshes receive powerful, in-depth analysis in a pick for any college-level engineering collection.
―Midwest Book Review, January 2011

Wonderful introduction to the topic, great as a reference after

June 26, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I 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.

If 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.

Excellent book. Much easier to pick up the concepts here than trying to piece them together from the primary literature.

Very good book on mesh processing techniques

January 20, 2016

Format: Hardcover

Very 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.

Great book. But their source code should be a BSD type license ( as per OpenMESH) rather than GPL.

Definitively 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.
