Applications of Wavelets in Computer Graphics and Geometric
Modeling
Wavelets are powerful new mathematical tools for
hierarchically decomposing functions. They are becoming
increasingly important in computer graphics and geometric
modeling. They have, for instance, recently been applied to image
editing and compression, automatic level-of-detail control for
editing and rendering curves and surfaces, surface reconstruction
from contours, and fast methods for solving simulation problems
in global illumination and animation. The speaker will provide a
brief introduction to wavelets, and demonstrate how they can be
applied to problems in computer graphics and geometric modeling.
