Engineering Graphics in Geometric Algebra

چکیده
We illustrate the suitability of geometric algebra for representing structures and developing algorithms in computer graphics, especially for engineering applications. A number of example applications are reviewed. Geometric algebra unites many underpinning mathematical concepts in computer graphics such as vector algebra and vector fields, quaternions, kinematics and projective geometry, and it easily deals with geometric objects, operations and transformations. Not only are these properties important for computational engineering, but also for the computational point-of-view they provide. We also include the potential of geometric algebra for optimizations and highly efficient implementations.

متن کاملAcceleration and Energy Efficiency of Geometric Algebra Computations Using Reconfigurable Computers and Gpus
Geometric algebra (GA) is a mathematical framework that allows the compact description of geometric relationships and algorithms in many fields of science and engineering. The execution of these algorithms, however, requires significant computational power that made the use of GA impractical for many real-world applications. We describe how a GA-based formulation of the inverse kinematics probl...
متن کاملGeometric computing in computer graphics using conformal geometric algebra
Early in the development of Computer Graphics it was realized that projective geometry was well suited for the representation of transformations. Now, it seems that another change of paradigm is lying ahead of us based on Geometric Computing using Conformal Geometric Algebra. Due to its geometric intuitiveness, elegance and simplicity, the underlying Conformal Geometric Algebra appears to be a ...
