Intended for computer graphics researchers and programmers, and mathematicians working in computational geometry. This book describes oriented projective geometry, a geometric model that combines the elegance and efficiency of classical projective geometry with the consistent handling of oriented lines and planes, signed angles, line segments, convex sets, and many other fundamental geometric computing concepts that classical theory does not support. The aim of this book is to assemble a consistent, practical and effective set of tools for computational geometry that can be used by graphics programmers in their everyday work. In keeping with this goal, formal derivations are kept to a minimum, and many definitions and theorems are illustrated with explicit examples in one, two, and three dimensions.
Part 1 Projective geometry: the classic projective plane; advantages of
projective geometry; drawbacks of classical projective geometry; oriented
projective geometry; related work. Part 2 Oriented projective spaces: models
of two-sided space; central projection. Part 3 Flats: definition; points;
lines; planes; three-spaces; ranks; incidence and dependence. Part 4
Simplices and orientation: simplices; simplex equivalence; point location
relative to a simplex; the vector space model. Part 5 The join operation: the
join of two points; the join of a point and a line; the join of two arbitrary
flats; properties of join; null objects; complementary flats. Part 6 The
meeting operation: the meeting point of two lines; the general meet
operation; meet in three dimensions; properties of meet. Part 7 Relative
orientation: the two sides of a line; relative position of arbitrary flats;
the separation theorem; the coefficients of a hyperplane. Part 8 Projective
maps: formal definition; examples; properties of projective maps; the matrix
of a map. Part 9 General: two-sided spaces - formal definition; subspaces.
Part 10 Duality: duomorphisms; the polar complement; polar complements as
duomorphisms; relative polar complements; general duomorphisms; the power of
duality. Part 11 Generalized projective maps: projective functions; computer
representation. Part 12 Projective frames: nature of projective frames;
classification of frames; standard frames; coordinates relative to a frame.
Part 13 Cross ratio: cross ratio in unoriented geometry; cross ratio in the
oriented framework. Part 14 Convexity: convexity in classical projective
space; convexity in oriented projective spaces; properties of convex sets;
the half-space property; the convex hull; convexity and duality. Part 15
Affine geomerty: the Cartesian connection; two-sided affine spaces. Part 16
Vector albegra: two-sided vector spaces; translations; vector algebra; the
two-sided real line; linear maps. Part 17 Euclidean geometry on the two-sided
plane: perpendicularity; two-sided Euclidean spaces; Euclidean maps; length
and distance; angular measure and congruence; non-Euclidean geometries. Part
18 Representing flats by simplices: the simplex representation; the dual
simplex representation; the reduced simplex representation. Part 19 Plucker
