Geometric Algebra - An Algebraic System for Computer Games and Animation
نویسنده
چکیده
1. Proceedings from the Gatherings for Gardner Conference. Edited by a variety of people. To show their appreciation for Martin Gardner there have been several Gatherings for Gardner conferences which are gatherings of mathematicians, puzzlers, and magicians. The rst two gatherings were in 1993 and 1995. They had no proceedings. However, the ones since 1998 have. We give reviews of the six proceedings that are available. Review by Bill Gasarch.

Inverse Kinematics Solutions Using Conformal Geometric Algebra
This paper describes a novel iterative Inverse Kinematics (IK) solver, FABRIK, that is implemented using Conformal Geometric Algebra (CGA). FABRIK uses a forward and backward iterative approach, finding each joint position via locating a point on a line. We use the IK of a human hand as an example of implementation where a constrained version of FABRIK was employed for pose tracking. The hand i...
متن کاملEfficient Inverse Kinematics Algorithm Based on Conformal Geometric Algebra - Using Reconfigurable Hardware
This paper presents a very efficient approach for algorithms developed based on conformal geometric algebra using reconfigurable hardware. We use the inverse kinematics of the arm of a virtual human as an example, but we are convinced that this approach can be used in a wide field of computer animation applications. We describe the original algorithm on a very high geometrically intuitive level...
متن کاملON ALGEBRAIC AND COALGEBRAIC CATEGORIES OF VARIETY-BASED TOPOLOGICAL SYSTEMS
Motivated by the recent study on categorical properties of latticevalued topology, the paper considers a generalization of the notion of topological system introduced by S. Vickers, providing an algebraic and a coalgebraic category of the new structures. As a result, the nature of the category TopSys of S. Vickers gets clari ed, and a metatheorem is stated, claiming that (latticevalu...
متن کاملA Virtual Computational Paper Folding Environment Based on Computer Algebraic System
Many people enjoy doing origami, an art of paper folding, since childhood. Origami is a more powerful geometry construction tool than straight edge and compass. But there are some physical limitations with traditional origami on paper. In this study, a computational origami environment has been developed. Huzita axioms are implemented with a computer algebra system, which not only deals with fu...
متن کاملGeometric Algebra and its Application to Computer Graphics
Early in the development of computer graphics it was realized that projective geometry is suited quite well to represent points and transformations. Now, maybe another change of paradigm is lying ahead of us based on Geometric Algebra. If you already use quaternions or Lie algebra in additon to the well-known vector algebra, then you may already be familiar with some of the algebraic ideas that...
