Damiand, Guillaume; Lienhardt, Pascal

"An excellent technical teaching tool, especially recommended for college library mathematics and computer science shelves." -Midwest Book Review, January 2015 "Guillaume Damiand and Pascal Lienhardt have produced an excellent book that discusses in full details a family of data structures for representing explicitly the connectivity of low-dimensional meshes, such as those used for some image and terrain processing or for modeling and animating geometric shapes. ... it provides a mathematically rigorous introduction to this area of research and gives the attentive reader a deep understanding of n-Gmaps and n-Maps, both as theoretical models and as practical data structures and associated operators." -Jarek Rossignac, Georgia Institute of Technology

• Introduction. Preliminary Notions. Intuitive Presentation. n-Gmaps. n-maps. Operations. Embedding for Geometric Modeling and Image Processing. Cellular Structures as Structured Simplicial Structures. Comparison with Other Cellular Data Structures. Concluding Remarks. Bibliography. Index.
