Goal(s)
Geometric modeling is an area of ??research and computer engineering common to both disciplines, applied mathematics and computer science. It focuses on digital and automated methods for creation, representation, modeling, analysis and acquisition of 3D geometric shapes.
Applications of geometric modeling cover a wide range of areas: CAD / CAM, industrial design, virtual sculpture, surface reconstruction, simulation, animation, video games, scientific visualization, medical imaging, multimedia, 3D content creation.
This course presents a large set of models and algorithms for the representation, modeling and animation of 3D shapes used in geometric design, computer graphics and the applications mentioned above.
he course presents models and algorithms for surface description, which are commonly used in Computer Aided Geometric Design and in Computer Graphics.

Geometric Modeling ENSIMAG 2nd year.
Personal work on computer and written report (P1) and 1 exercice (TP).
the same personal work (P2) has to be performed for the SESSION NORMALE (N1) and for the SECOND SESSION (N2) of exams. Contact the professor in this case.
N1 = (4*P1 + TP)/5
N2 = (4*P2 + TP)/5
N1=(4 P1 + TP)/5
N2=(4 P2 + TP)/5
