Description
Computational Geometry in C provides an introduction to the design and implementation of geometry algorithms used in computer graphics, robotics, and engineering design. The book covers essential techniques such as polygon triangulations, convex hulls, Voronoi diagrams, arrangements, geometric searching, and motion planning. A self-contained treatment is assumed, requiring only elementary knowledge of mathematics, while reaching topics on the forefront of current research. This edition includes new material on randomized algorithms for polygon triangulation, planar point location, 3D convex hull construction, intersection algorithms for ray-segment and ray-triangle, and point-in-polyhedron. The code in this edition is significantly improved from the first edition, with four new routines included. Java versions are also available, allowing readers to access the accompanying code at the book's Web site (
