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.
