Abstract: Focusing on subdivision curves and surfaces, this book details wavelet methods for geometric design, editing, and algorithm development. It presents a study of the theory, methods, and construction algorithms for the ideal wavelet families associated with the subdivision schemes. It provides the necessary background on wavelet mathematics.
