Tessellation for computer image generation

Date Issued:: 1987
Abstract/Description:: University of Central Florida College of Engineering Thesis; Of the vast number of algorithms used in modern computer image generation, most rely upon data bases comprised of polygons. This becomes a severe impediment when curved objects must be modeled and displayed with an acceptable level of speed and accuracy. A technique is needed to provide a means of modeling curved surfaces, storing them in a data base, and displaying them using existing algorithms. Tessellation is one method of achieving such goals.
